I only want to comment on the aesthetically pleasing bit- wait Til your kids start making ornaments. Are you going to be annoyed that those tacky things are expected to hand on your tree too?

Different PP.  I agree.  Last year, with two 2-year olds, we didn't put out most of our regular Christmas decorations because the vast majority are breakable.  So my wife spent time with the kids and made a bunch of construction paper snowflakes, stars, angels and strips.  The kids colored them with marker and stickers.  The strips were made into loops for a chain tinsel and the rest became ornaments.  This year, we bought cardboard ornaments at Michael's and the kids painted them with craft paints.  We have a few more decorations out than last year and every year, we'll add more until it's safe to do Christmas decorations the way we did pre-kids.

But while I love all the crafts that my wife and kids do, the ornaments aren't very aesthetically pleasing.  However they are sentimentally irreplaceable.  As would be gifts from either of our parents.[/quote]
