Got the bird and we are putting up the tree.

I picked up the 'bird' today. 21.5 lbs of turkey goodness defrosting in my fridge.

We are also putting up our Christmas decorations tonight. I know it's a bit early but it is a tradition. We started the year my wife and I got married. Our anniversary is on Nov 25th and we were very busy the week before and had the honeymoon afterwards, so we put up the decorations almost two weeks before Thanksgiving.

The next year, one of our sons was due about the same time, so everything went up early again.

Since then it's just been habit.

Bring on that Christmas Tree. Crack out those carols, the holiday season beings tonight!
