My dad put an incredible amount of time and effort into decorating the family Christmas tree when I was growing up. Only when we reached 11yrs. old were we even allowed to put “tinsel” on it! As a parent myself, I found I grew-up to be just as meticulous about my own family Christmas tree. It would take HOURS to decorate it. If you buy LIVE Christmas trees, how long does it take YOU to decorate it?
