First yr. we moved into this house I did a basic lights outside job, but nice.
Next yr. we just had the tree.
Following yr. she just put the tree up.
Last yr. nothing. I wasn't going to put anything up, and having a 30# "puppy" running around that had already eaten remotes, beer cans, the carpet...
This yr. I'm not touching it. If she wants the tree up, she can get to work on it.
All seems like a lot of work to only create yourself additional work in a few weeks taking all that crap down.
