Yes, we did it. Mr. SE and I have already started decorating for Christmas this year. We're hosting a holiday party on December 4th and traveling for Thanksgiving, so this was our last weekend to get the house in shape. Our previous Christmas trees were either from college or hand-me-downs (we have 3)- so we were excited to buy one of our very own.
(all the lights are clear- but the picture makes them look somewhat colored)
We chose a gorgeous 9 ft pre-lit beauty from Home Depot, and scored a great price. The theme for our downstairs area is red, gold, and silver. I've been purchasing little accents to have around the floor, and I'm really happy with the look so far.
The tree still needs to be decorated, so I don't have any pictures to post now. But I'll be sure to document our first Christmas in this house, and our first Christmas as newlyweds. Have you started decorating yet? And did you do anything special to celebrate your first Christmas as a married couple? We're really looking forward to starting some traditions of our own!

It's never too early for Christmas!
my house is already decorated too!!! couldn't help myself ;)
i think you should collect a special ornament each year as a keepsake to keep and always have--think about how neat it will be once you have 10, 20 of them!!
can't wait to see pics!
Oh it sounds lovely!!! I've regretted purchasing a tree that didn't already have lights on it. That is something I am totally unable to do without throwing a vicious tantrum. I've set my artifical tree spinning in my urge to remove a strand of lights that don't work after carefully placing them on the tree!!! I look forward to the finished tree pictures you post!!!
