Adelaide Christmas Pageant {a first}

I attended my first Adelaide Christmas Pageant this year. Floats, clowns, carols, chalk drawings, Santa, the smell of sausages and friends. As hard as it was to get out of bed, it was so worth it.

Christmas is just around the corner! 
Realising that I don't own a Christmas tree, any decorations or a Christmas CD to play has made it top priority. Do you have any traditions or specific times that you put your Christmas tree up each year?
