Let me guess ,your husbands Bday is in late March.
Nope. His is the 23rd, the oldest kid's is the 21st and my sister's is the 31st.
Edit to add: My birthday is in April.
Since we go out & pay someone who bought murdered trees to celebrate this Pagan/Christian/consumerism period, we wait until 2-3 weeks prior to the actual day of angst so we don't have that damned dead tree shitting needles all over the place and becomes a right perfect fire hazard.
My parents & I used to murder trees in the United States National Forests & I'd gladly take my child & show him the way but I live in Indiana now. It's all corn & soy.

ok, I know this is gonna sounds weird to most of you but remember - I live on a rock in the middle of the ocean
What is a "pre-lit" tree? And what is a "fiber optic" tree?
It's the lazy man's way to have Christmas

My Birthday is Dec 13
And, how many OTHER of your immediate family members' birthdays are in the span of 10 days with Christmas thrown in the middle????? You may think it is SO unfun, but the way we have our Christmas works for us. And, I have NO objections from any of my kids and husband. In fact, they PREFER the cash so they can buy what they want anyhow.
No other immediate family members with birthdays in December. We usually get cash for our birthdays anyway. Along with a cake and a card.

What is a "pre-lit" tree? And what is a "fiber optic" tree?
Pre-lit: It comes in a box ready to set up. The branches have lights built in and just fold down from the center.
Fiber optic: There are a bunch of fiber optic fibers running from down at the bottom of the tree to various points around the branches, and at the base is a color wheel that turns over a light bulb. at the end of the fibers, you can see the colors that are continually changing.
Mom always said it was bad luck to put the tree up before December 1st, so I go with that. Although I suspect now that it was just cause she didn't wanna.
I've put up a few decorations as I come across them, and we had fun putting the outside lights up in the rain, but no tree till next weekend I believe, unless I get motivated sooner.
Snow would help.

Well, you didn't put up the lights in a snow storm but I guess rain is close enough to not be blasphamous
