We finally got our Christmas tree and decorations up yesterday. We usually do this on the Friday after Thanksgiving, but with my surgery it has caused us to be a little behind. I think we are getting caught up slowly. I don't think we are going to put up lights outside this year. We have our Christmas tree, a centerpiece on the dining room table, lights around a mirror over the mantel where I will put Christmas cards we recieve. Then a Nativity set is on the piano. How do you decorate for Christmas?

Like you I also put mine up this week. My tradition is always the weekend of Thanksgiving but I was a little slow this year. I will try to take it down the weekend of New Years. We also haven't had time to do the lights outside this year, but maybe next year ( which is what we said last year). LOL. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.

This will by mine and my husbands first year in our new home and on our own without any other roomates. We are really excited about Christmas and already have a few lawn decorations, but are going out next week to get our tree and some lights for the front of our house. I can't wait to see what it looks like and our kids are so excited. I think this will be one of our most memorable Christmas's yet.

I enjoy to put decorations so much I just love it. But i am nto sure if we will have lights outside either. we don't have electrocity plug outside and it seems liek big problem for my fiancee, so I guess no Christmas lights:( But other things I have alredy done, still want to do some decorations on the windows and just to put a christmas three, but it has still a time, since it is warm here in apartman.

We decorate for Xmas.Some years ago we still decorated a green tree, now we have a artificial one.And of course, the feeling is not the same... We decorate the windows, the doors, the lamps and the table too.

My fiance and I are working on getting our decorations up. He only just moved in to his apartment last October, so we don't really have any Christmas decorations, so we're having to buy a rudimentary set-up for cheap and it's a little difficult. So far, we have a bit of garland over our fireplace and some over the blinds leading to our patio/balcony. The one over the fireplace is a gorgeous and full string of faux poinsettias and we hung a "stocking" over it and some tinsel garland over the blinds. The next project will be to put lights out on the balcony. Hopefully by then we'll have found a tree and we can do that next.

We do the basic tree along with stockings hung with care on the mantel. Don't know what else we'll do this year. Never know till we get the tree out.

I started last weekend but didn't get too far. I'm gonna go out this weekend and start looking for a few other things and get the decorating done this weekend except for my tree. I won't get my tree for another 2 weeks probably because I get down with the real trees and it's just too soon to get one I think.

My House - Is it festive looking or not?
My house is well lit as you can tell from the attatched photo. The lights go from my garage to the right front of the house on the eave. Then my front yard is lined with all green lights along the driveway, then the front and side of the yard to the fence in back. Now I have a small tree on my coffee table but have yet to set up the big one. I use an artificial tree due to dad being here. I love real trees but can't take that risk. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I just put up a small tree in the living room on the table. We aren't going to be here for the holidays as we are going back home to visit my parents and my husband is in Iraq. My daughter and I just aren't in a celebratory mood this year since he is over there and can't be home for the holidays. So we just put up our little tree and that's it.

Yes my son and I are decorating for christmas. Today is the first of December so we'll put up the chritmas treet and put a few decorations around. Each year I try to buy a few new decorations for our tree. It works out cheaper and you are not just buying willie nilly. I put a bit of thought into my decorations. The latest one we got has my son's name on it.
