In my house, we always have two Christmas trees. The larger of the two trees is set up upstairs, in the living room, and we put lights on it as well as decorations such as balls and ornaments.
Downstairs, we put a plastic tree that is not as attractive. Usually, we will have either a bow or a wreath placed on the front door. Also, we have some angels and Santa Clause stockings that we hang from our kitchen bar.
Outside, we usually do a poor job of hanging colored lights around the house and fence. That way, when it is dark and cold outside, we have something jolly to gawk at.
Also, our neighbors enjoy looking at our lighted yard. My wife makes popcorn stringers, and these go on the tree. Read More »

I use Christmas decorations that I bought from Target. I am not sure of the brand, but they are the traditional bulb ornaments.
Well traditional in the way they’re constructed, but non traditional because they’re pink. I also use the clear and the pink lights to compliment them. I have pink garland.
My 16 year old brother came to a tree trimming party I had and he and my dad both refused to help decorate “the girly tree” as they called it. I spent well over $200 on all the ornaments, lights, and tinsel, but it was well worth it. Read More »

We use many Christmas decorations but I will describe our living room Christmas decorations. Our living room is decorated at all times in a Western Theme. We had to have a Western Tree. When we decided to do the Western Tree it was about 4 years ago when we first married.
Western Decorations were not easy to come by. Now days we see them in every store. So we have a Christmas tree that is a regular pine tree. Due to allergies in our home we must use an artificial tree.
We use burlap as the skirt on the bottom. We have many western decorations that we have picked up over the years. Cowboy Santa and Reindeer, cowboy boots and hats, guns, and all sorts. Read More »

I have four children, so Christmas at my house is very hectic and fun. I buy most of my Christmas decorations but couldn’t give details on brand names because I buy what I need when I need it or during the after Christmas sales. We then incorporate these decorations into the next Christmas.
Since my children are school age some of my favorite decorations come from them. I particularly like the bells they made out of Dixie cups and the Popsicle crosses with their pictures on them. Obviously, we use lights on are tree. Read More »

When I was a little kid, I asked my mom to buy a cross stitch kit of a Christmas stocking. She told me that if I finish it by Christmas, she’ll pay for it, but otherwise, I will need to pay for it. Well, I finished it and hang it up every year. Read More »
