    As for Christmas decorations I have already (a few days ago) put up some small lights and garland/wreaths out front but not too much.  My wife manages the interior decorations and goes a bit wild...lol.   I just get down the boxes from the garage and try to stay out of her way.  Typically it all comes down on Jan 1
