.. For Christmas

Did my Christmas decorations inside this weekend. Some people already have their Christmas decorations since the middle of November but we have the tradition of putting them on in the first weekend of December. My kids also want to put some lights outside but we need to buy lights suitable to be outside, I think the ones we have aren't the right ones. Have you put your Christmas decorations on? Do you use to put lights outside? Picture of my living room.

It is very pretty, your daughter and son will be excited. I used to put lights outside, but I did not this year, it's a lot of trouble.

@nela13 I'll be with my younger son at some point that day. My daughter is in Texas, and I have no relationship with my older son.

I'm done. No lights. Was entertaining the idea of lights, but decided to save money. Solar lights, expensive.

We've had some decorations up for a little over a week, but only put up our tree a week ago. I know some put them up earlier. Like you, we tend to wait until December.

@RebeccasFarm I think I will receive the sofas by the end of January or beginning of February. That is great that you will be with your son. Do you have grandchildren?
