Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

The usual day in our household to decorate for Christmas is the day after Thanksgiving. It's a rule that we can't do it before, so we set aside the day after and deck the halls. However, this year was different, instead we waited until two days after Thanksgiving so that we didn't have to go buy a new set of Christmas lights on Black Friday; we wanted to avoid the crowds of crazed money savers. 

Another rule in our household, which Kim broke early on this November, is that we can't listen to Christmas music until the day after Thanksgiving as well. This way we don't get tired of Christmas music too early on in the holiday season. As soon as dawn broke the day after Thanksgiving, Kim was playing Christmas music to her hearts content.

Kim made a special "Trim the Tree" playlist at grooveshark.com (her newly found toy), and we turned it on and got started. Chris put the tree up and trimmed it with lights. Kim started getting the ornaments ready to put on the tree, but when Elyas saw the lit tree and heard the music he started dancing. Here he is rockin' out to the Christmas music:
