The Decorations Are Up

A printer should be the easiest peripheral of all to set up, but I agree that it can be a real pain at times. Sometimes the network sharing settings decide to be awkward, which can take a lot of playing about to correct.

We like a fresh tree so it's still too early for us.

I love to put up a lot of pine branches. Everywhere I can find a place. I love the smell. I like lights inside and out. With LED now days they are great and energy savers. Candy add a bit of sparkle and warmth I think. I make a wreath out of branches and add some mistletoe and poinsettia.

our decorations are pretty basic - card lines on the walls, a tree in the two main downstairs rooms, lights and ornamental snowmen in the windows

I've talked about and shown photos of my decorations and I'm done...now we need to clean the kitchen floor with Bono and then I can put down my new rugs. I wanted to wait until the decorating was finished.

Very little now. I have a wreath on the gate and a decorative holiday flag flying out front.

We don't decorate for christmas as we always travel. If the kids came here then we would decorate and get a tree but they don't. Glad you are almost ready for christmas, i am too i just gotta start with the wrapping.

I am getting ready too. Have just put up the tree which need a bit of finishing touches. There is so much more to do. Planning for the party for poor kids is quite a handful.

I have. my tree is up and my outdoor decorations. I still have some inside ones to do.

My brother does the decorating and our apartment looks so pretty. His Christmas trees always look like they came out of a magazine.

I put my Christmas tree up last night, I was so exhausted after

I would love our decorations to be up now but am out voted by the rest of the family who say it is too early !

Wow! I envy you @ladyduck We have to put up ours yet. Waiting for the kids to help out. I love the picture you've posted.

I wish I had one friend lyk tht! ;) 've never been part of Christmas celebrations!

We put up a majority of our decorations on Sunday. The tree, the wreath outside, the festive table runners and several of my table/shelf decorations. I still need to put the fragile/glass ornaments on the tree. The kids decorated the bottom of the tree with the decorations that would not break. I will also put lights on the front window. I always set up a small town on the window ledge and then put white lights around the town and around the window.

We put up our tree yesterday, it is the same one as last year but we gave it new lights and it looks quite different now. I still have some ornaments to sort out but we had visitors all day yesterday so I have to content myself with just the tree for the moment.

We have a smaller, probably about a 5 1/2 foot tall artificial tree in our home. We put it on a short table in our family room. We have a snowman and Santa collection, I put these pieces out on our buffet in the dining room. I've taken a lot of years to collect these pieces and they are all so different and unique. We also have a very large nativity scene that we put out last night. The pieces all stand anywhere from about 8 inches to a foot tall and are made of ceramic. Right now, there are just the oxen, and cattle and the manger, we'll add the Mary and Joseph in time, then the shepherds and the baby for the manager on Christmas eve. Shortly after that we have a camel and the 3 wise men to add.

Nothing done yet, but will hopefully do it this week.

We have such a big room to decorate and we won't be here anyway so we're just going with a tree. I blew the photo up. Your decorations look lovely.

I don't think I will be decorating my house this year since it will just be me. But I will be driving around enjoying everyone else's. :-)
