Our family has a very simple solution, the Christmas tree never gets taken down, we just move it to the storage room decorations and all and put a tarp over it to keep the dust off. When Christmas season comes around we just move it back to the living room and plug it in, a 5-10 minute job. Everything else is too much work so we don't do it.

I'm a bit of a maniac when it comes to Christmas decorating. I'm PSE&G's best friend this time of year.

Alfred threatened to quit if I ever tried to decorate the tree again.
Apparently little black bats baring their fangs do not proper christmas decoration make.
*shrugs*
Actually, no christmas deco at my place, but when I'm with the family on Christmas Eve, I somehow always wind up being the one who has to place the candles on the backside of the *@$%&! tree. Do I look needleproof or what?
Dunno if this counts.

As long as they're put up at a reasonable time i don't mind. In other words i don't like them put up before December (at the earliest!), this has gained me the "Official Scrooge" title on my corridor in Halls.

I set up a small tree with lights around the 21st of December so that my cat can enjoy her heart out on it.

Christmas shopping is fun. Christmas get-togethers are fun. But Christmas decorating is a bit of a pain in the ass.

We'll decorate a tree and put a bough on our door. Most of my family's efforts go into cooking delicious fattening meals for get-togethers with friends and relatives. I get to bake the Christmas themed cookies and we even made a gingerbread house last year...which was completely eaten in about 20 minutes.
