As per tradition we put the Christmas tree up today. My brilliant plan last year of separating the ornaments by kid and putting them into tupperware bins with their names on them really paid off today! It reduced the fighting by at least 90% percent! Everyone cheerfully took their bin and proceeded to hang their own ornaments on the bottom two branches of the tree. It was such a pleasant experience. We sang some carols and read some Christmas books and enjoyed time with the peeps. Then they went to bed and Grandma and I moved the kids ornaments from the low branches so that the other 99% of the tree was decorated as well! It was a lot of fun being a part of all of their excitement!
