Hubby and I went to get our tree yesterday. We never get our tree until the last minute. It's both of our traditions. Plus, they are usually cheaper last minute. Today will be an easy day. We have a plumber coming for a hopefully simple job this morning. Dinner will be quick and easy to prepare. Hubby and I open presents Christmas Eve evening according to the Czech tradition.
Our tree this year is a potted thuja instead of the more typical cut Christmas tree. We may plant it near our past parrots' grave site in my dad's woods. If not, it will go on our deck.

Thujas are pretty trees. Sounds like a lovely choice.
We just use a cheapo plastic Wal-Mart tree, but we prefer the real deal. We just don't do it anymore because it's expensive around here and my parents are getting older (they can’t really carry them anymore). But if we could, we would.
Have fun opening your gifts early! What do you do on Christmas, though, if you open the presents early?
