i thought i'd start a thread after starting to see how people are decorating for the holidays. i remember seeing eggie's tumbleweed snowman last year, and other people's lights. i figured i'd start it off.
xmas1

santa chuck starts to put up our christmas tree. chuck and i are allergic to trees, so we got us a GREAT fake one 12 years ago for almost $100. it sure seemed expensive that long ago. but it sure has paid for itself.}}

Great thread Landi!

I (finally) decorated my tree on Wednesday. Max has had a ball with it the past few days...literally. I have to re-hang at least 5 balls every day. Thank goodness we have an artificial tree or I'm sure he'd have climb it quite a few times already!

early xmas gift

I'll add a pic of the tree we had in our apartment two years ago. I sure do miss the big old trees we used to be able to get...but I don't miss the mess one bit!

Sherbabe, my daughter LOVES to see the snowman one the most! Maybe because we live in Florida and there isn't any snow here...

These will likely come out blurry, due to my hand shake without a flash, and the reduction in file size. My dh PROMISES me he will take a better photo of the tree ... but I'm not holding my breath Haha!

I decorated it on Thursday night ... my first free night in weeks. This is the first time we've put up our tree in 3 years, so I'm happy :-)

Here's the tree lengthwise:

And here's a photo of the hearth (with the tree to the left):

Hippy, I have a fake tree in the corner and just didn't put the back branches on it!! LOL It fits SO much better now.
I am having outside light envy. I am having to do all my lights off of one outlet. I think it looks really pretty...around my door, in the front bushes, down the entryway and ends with candy canes, but WOW..come back from out of town and our street looks like a page from the Griswalds!!!!!! I want more outlets!!!!!!

That's the nice thing about fake trees, Annie, LOL. When the kids were babies we would leave the lower branches off so they couldn't get to them and it looked just fine. Once we got the presents under there it really didn't look like there was anything different with the tree either. We also used lattice to make a little fence around the tree that was another detterent for them, lol.

We started to decorate the outside of the house, right up until we got to the lights and plugged them in for testing. Half the strands weren't working and we realized how old they were so decided this year we aren't putting them up. Got our candy canes lined up along the driveway, looks fairly simple compared to most of our neighbors, but I'm not willing to take chances with the old sets of lights.

One of my favoritist parts of Christmas is going out to look at lights. We usually go a week or two before Christmas, then again on Christmas Eve when we go back to our favorite neighborhoods. I love this thread because I get to look at everyones pretty decorations without freezing my butt off, LOL.

My neighbor fixed one of our reindeer. Her poor head wasn't moving,and someone fixed her! I walked out on the porch this morning and her head was just nodding away! I think that was pretty darn nice.
