I'm hoping this year he helps. I have to force DH to help. His mom never let them help and if she did then she'd move everything how she wanted. I want ours to be a contribution from everyone which is what I had growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366571 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 00:08:34 +0000 looch 2366571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year, my son kept rearranging, which is fine by me. He was surprisingly opinionated with positioning, I just let him go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366530 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:37:00 +0000 blackbird 2366530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I think that's the best part. It's not like better homes and gardens is coming over.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366503 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:52:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2366503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but....sometimes adjusting is necessary. Last year dd put them all in the front bottom half. LOL the tree was leaning just a tad so I had to even out the ornament distribution a bit. ;) I save all the breakable stuff for up top.</p> <p>We don't really care about having a picture perfect tree! None of our ornaments match because they all mean something, we have an ornament from each year we've been together that means something. We also have /plan to get each child an ornament a year that's important to that year of their life. We also have some of his grandmothers old ornaments. and ones he made when he was little that his mother no longer wants. 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366442 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 20:37:54 +0000 lovehoneybee 2366442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year E told us where he wanted to put some things, and then I went back when he was asleep and evened things out a bit (because I'm crazy). This year I'm making him a felt tree :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366432 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 20:34:30 +0000 Torchwood 2366432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My plan is to have a family tree that we all do together, and for each of us to have our own as well. That way I get my pretty "perfect" tree, and she gets to do what she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366381 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 19:41:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 2366381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has her own tree that we let her decorate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366298 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 17:22:27 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2366298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up we just did whatever we wanted!</p> <p>Mil has a super nice looking tree but DH said he wasn't allowed to help decorate! I'll have a nice tree in 20 years. 🙃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366297 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 17:18:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2366297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids get the bottom third. Even if I dictated how things were hung they'd move them on me anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366293 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 17:13:10 +0000 travellingbee 2366293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will let him put SOME things wherever he wants but not everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-los-decorate-the-christmas-tree-how-they-want#post-2366267 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 16:41:12 +0000 Bao 2366267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or do you guide them? </p> <p>We put up our tree today because LO was begging to decorate it. So we got everything out and let her put on all the non-breakable ornaments and some candy canes however she wanted. LO2 helped a little too but she had a harder time hanging things up. Let's just say there are a lot of ornaments on the lower part of the tree! </p>
