The tree I got for my room is going up on the 25th, 26th, or 27th. I don't care if it's before Thanksgiving. That's a wasted week anyway, so I use it to actually do fun stuff.
We decided to get a narrower tree this year and now we have ended up with two 9’ trees in the living room, one on each side of the fireplace. They have not been lit or decorated yet...

That's the spirit! Our Christmas decorations went up this past weekend. I have a bunch of new Christmas stuff to decorate my classroom with. And by a bunch of stuff, I mean like three things.

We never close for any holidays other than Christmas and Thanksgiving. Doesn't look like today will be a delay.
Not even Easter?? Wow....I think when I was in school we got Presidents day and like...Labor Day. We never got things like Fall break or Spring break. We got Good Friday and the Monday after Easter, and that's what they called our "spring break" and we only got that if we didn't have to make up any snow days. If we had snow days we made them up then. My kids get a TON of breaks. A week in October, 2 weeks at Christmas/New Years, a week in February, 2 weeks in April/May, and they get ascension day and the Monday after Whit Sunday. But then they only get 6 weeks for Summer.

It seems to me that living in Wisconsin, like it was when I was living in Vermont, have learned to deal with winter and snow. We very seldom had snow days except in mainly rural areas where back roads were difficult to maneuver. In the cities, the buses that were used to get students to school were the municipal buses. They have to run no matter what, so the poor kids and teachers never got a break unless it was a major nor'easter. If we didn't work that way our kids would be uneducated.

Down here an inch of snow will shut everything down, including retail, for two days to a week. They always plan for 10 to 15 snow days per year (they double as hurricane/tornado days). A friend of mine that is a native NC'er made a trip up to Albany, NY on a business trip. He came back with the most confused look on his face because every available pickup he saw had snow plows on the front of them. That tells it all. Around here, with billions of redneck pickups, all you see are those funny looking things that the kids are always asking "What is that", hanging from the trailer hitch.

We all love Christmas. Snow, not so much.
Especially those of us* who get to deal with it 5 months/year.

*Except @MinnieM123 - she’s just a delightful kook.
Snow would be awesome if it knew not to stick to cars, roads and driveways. Stupid snow.
I can understand that. Where I am from we usually get that mix crap(Snow/Ice/Sleet/Rain) which is turns into a mess. I also haven't started to drive yet that will be coming soon.
