Every year since we've moved here I've had a real Christmas tree in the dining room window and put our artificial one up in the basement. We've always put the presents around the one in the basement, I guess just because there is more room down there to sit and open gifts.
I've been really busy this year. I'm always busy, but I just haven't found time to put up the tree in the basement. I've mentioned several times I probably just won't put it up. I've heard the kids whine that I'd be breaking tradition. I've explained that I just don't have time and no one ever offers to help. I'm still hearing the whining, but no offers. So....do I put the tree up or say forget it. I mean we can put gifts around the real tree and just move the dining room table out into the hallway while we open gifts. Or we can just haul the gifts into the living room in the morning before we open them. Am I procrastinating, or just being indecisive? What to do....any suggestions?

I wouldn't put it up yourself. If the rest of them want it, they can do it, or at least help you do it!
Traditions are supposed to be "shared" :)!
