It is just not my thing-we have an antique tree that has to be put together and taken apart...blerg! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating/page/2#post-1370545 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:20:40 +0000 maybebaby 1370545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is SOOO excited about getting a tree every year! I am nothing in comparison to him. Granted I do the rest of the decorating, but he always is the one who is like let's get a tree which in turn prompts me to pull out the decorations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370533 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:17:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1370533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH loves Christmas but doesn't like decorating. If he were single he would have a tree with very few ornaments and that would be it. He laughs at my mantle, dining room, and kitchen decorations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370467 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:00:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 1370467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't care that I decorate, but he definetley wouldn't do it without me (maybe a tree but not the rest!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370464 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:58:59 +0000 Adira 1370464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs doesn't help me put up or take down decorations. He's not interested at all. The most he does if help me put up and take down the tree. But if I wasn't around, he wouldn't even have a tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370454 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:57:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 1370454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No option for neither of us care :) (I don't do Christmas, but I mean in general for holidays) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370440 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:54:19 +0000 Smurfette 1370440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves Christmas as much as I do. That said he would be good with just putting up a tree. So usually he does that and I do the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370409 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:48:00 +0000 MrsRcCar 1370409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and his family don't really decorate for Christmas but I have a feeling they went all out when his mother was around. He does like to help me decorate but he won't do it himself. I think that is a little to do with the fact I love decorating. Christmas is my favorite holiday, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370394 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:44:22 +0000 psw27 1370394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once the tree is done, he could care less. He doesn't care about hand towels in the bathrooms with snowmen on them... he would refer to that as clutter haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370390 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:43:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1370390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other. Although my husband wants to put up a tree next year he had no interest in picking out the ornaments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370378 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:42:14 +0000 Mae 1370378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my husband likes decorating our trees and gets into that. Especially because we make a point of buying ornaments on every trip we go on together, and we also buy an ornament every year we are together. So it is always fun to talk about all those memories as we put the tree up. If it wasn't for me though, he probably wouldn't bother. Guys and decorating… :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370374 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:41:29 +0000 Synchronicity 1370374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't seem to mind, but there would be no decorations if I didn't get the ball rolling. I'm not a huge fan of Xmas decorations myself, so we do very little as is. Not much for him to complain about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370372 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:41:16 +0000 Torchwood 1370372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH definitely isn't in to it at all, but I know guys who are. My uncle does most of their decorating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370361 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:39:25 +0000 Greentea 1370361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put "other" because I don't really decorate for Christmas. I am a minimalist so I literally have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree that came with one ornament. In general though, the interior of our home is something he leaves to me! :) ...but that is because I am good at it and he knows I enjoy it not because he doesn't care or isn't into it or isn't good at it himself.</p> <p>In the future I think making decorations with LO could be fun and DH would like to participate. I definitely don't think it is a "wife thing." ...but I guess I don't agree with most anything that designates gender onto something that has no gender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370353 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:36:51 +0000 snowjewelz 1370353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was excited about the tree; but just about getting the tree &amp; setting it up &amp; he likes watering it, etc. If it wasn't for me, the tree might just be bare haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370337 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:33:42 +0000 coopsmama 1370337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband loves decorating for Christmas. We make it a date night of sorts and go buy a few new items and eat snacks/dessert while putting them all up. Then we snuggle on the couch while looking at our tree. I think he enjoys it because it's something we can enjoy and work on together. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370330 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:32:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 1370330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH is somewhere between excited and wouldn't mind. This was our first year in our house and he was excited to put lights up outside our house. But I don't know that he would really care if they weren't up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370319 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:30:41 +0000 Alivoo01 1370319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH doesn't mind, but I'm definitely the driver of Christmas decor. I love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370294 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:26:13 +0000 .twist. 1370294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: haha that's awesome! My husband loves Christmas, he just hates decorating and I think if he loves it so much he should help decorate! Haha he took off the lights and said he'd done his part. LOL. he's so silly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370292 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:24:19 +0000 pui 1370292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha no way lol. My DH would seriously not talk to me for a day if he came home and all the Christmas decorations were up lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370282 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:19:59 +0000 .twist. 1370282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha you guys are great. My husband thinks all the husbands who love decorating are fibbing and says my poll is misleading, hahaha he's in denial! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370241 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:07:06 +0000 Ra 1370241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband hates Christmas decorations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370240 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:07:03 +0000 pui 1370240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband LOVES setting up Christmas decorations. He'd be pissed off if I set them all up without him lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370235 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:05:32 +0000 looch 1370235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is obsessed with outdoor decorations. He could care less if we had a tree or stockings, but he can not accept being the only house on the block without lights outside.</p> <p>I am opposite, I don't care about outside decorations at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370224 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:02:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 1370224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He doesn't mind, but he probably wouldn't decorate at all if I didn't insist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370216 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 12:00:54 +0000 lilyann 1370216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He seems to get excited but quits helping me half way through and does something else...I blame that on his ADD tendencies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370209 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:59:48 +0000 prettylizy 1370209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well if it were him living alone I doubt he'd do anything if I didn't make him. But if he were alone raising DD I'm sure he'd Christmas it up for her sake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370202 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:59:01 +0000 cyndistar3 1370202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both love Christmas decorations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating#post-1370199 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:58:13 +0000 Modern Daisy 1370199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should have voted "other" because DH likes it MORE than I do! I'm always a grinch and don't want to spend $ on a tree since we are never home for Christmas anyway, we spend the entire week at his parents house. But he insists on not just a tree, but a real tree, and buys the biggest one he can carry. And he diligently gets all of our decorations (that he acquired over the years) out of storage and sets it up all over our home. </p>
