Nah, but I was probably in my mid to late 30s when she started doing it lol
Honestly though I go through the same as you do every year, and if I could I would bag that sucker and put it in the attic. I'd even be happy to take off ornaments and put them on again the next year, as long as I don't have to mess with lights. Of course my wife and the kids are in charge of ornaments so...
I remember my boys didn't really care about putting up/taking down the tree. My older daughter loves it, and the two-year old hasn't been old enough to participate until this year - she loved it too.
So, I guess it depends on your kids.
I do have memories of the annual cuss-a-palooza from MY dad each Christmas during the erection of the tree, maybe that's why I'm in favor of the efficient (not lazy) method.
