Dos and Don'ts of Decorating Christmas Trees

As with most other organized construction projects, there are a set of rules and regulations one must follow when wetting up decorations on a tree. Said rules are in place fore safety reasons. There's no point in participating in this activity if you'd rather not follow these rules. Only hard will come to those when lawyers are implemented. Take note of the following dos and don'ts, for the sake of your own financial health.

Do ask family members for assistance.
Why ask for help? it's a great bonding experience. People tend to have fun when it comes to setting up holiday decorations. If they aren't having fun, it's because they aren't doing it right. You can't not have fun unless some overbearing goober decided it was a requirement to take orders form them while putting stuff on a tree.

Don't start holiday bootcamp.
Don't bee said goober. For the love of all that is fun and wholesome, don't become the Christmas drill Sargent by giving direct orders, and making loved ones do push ups for not saying "Sir! Ho-ho-ho, sir!" It was funny the first time, but got really old really quick, dad. You weren't even enlisted in the army, so what the heck is that all about?

So partake in festive beverages.
egg nog helps to pass the time.If scientists took the time to look into it, I'm sure their findings would confirm this as a fact. It's a wonderful drink. Some people like to put alcohol in it, but even then it's still somewhat decent.

Don't over do it on spiked nog.
Nothing good ever comes from an overabundance of tainted nog in the gut of a family member. I don't need science to confirm this one. I've bared witness to enough embarrassing moments during the holiday to know it's a factual statement. Egg nog is like some kind of weird, flavorful, seasonal truth serum. I've learned things about people I'd rather not know because of nog.

Do eat popcorn while decorating tree.
Popcorn is such a resilient snack food. It has the power to dule the pain of watch a horrible movie in theaters, and can be consumed during any holiday and season. It's always in season. Popcorn is great in wold weather, mildly warm weather, and "holy crap, my anus is seating like their no tomorrow!" weather."

Don't bite my hand when I rach for some.
Something I learned a few years ago: I'm a bleeder. Didn't realize it till my hand was bitten by a relative, who just happened to be in the middle of a nog induced rant. I wanted to get a rabies show, but was talked out of it by people who underestimated the full extend of my injuries at the time. My Dig Dug & Q Bert scores have suffered greatly because of poor reaction time.
