One decoration I love to do each year for Christmas is our outside lights

Posted by christmas - December 6th, 2008

I do my own decorations each Christmas, I currently do not put up as many decorations as I used to growing up, but as far as decorations go the most important decoration is of course our Christmas tree, which sadly enough is the same tree every year as it is store bought from K-mart about 3-4 years ago.

The lights we use are all blue, which my wife and son agree look really cool at night, I can’t recall where we got the lights but they are the kind of lights that have the larger bulbs as opposed to the smaller white ones.

One decoration I love to do each year for Christmas is our outside lights on the front porch which consist of 3 8 foot strands of like garland tree stuff, sorry for the lack of terms, its basically garland but made from fake tree material and has the lights all ready pre-strung on it.

The reason I love doing these particular lights is because it gives my son and I a chance to do something really fun together where he gets to pretty much give all his input and ideas of how things should look and how to do it. Read More »

We always start with the outdoor Christmas decor

With Christmas being one of my family’s favorite holidays, we decorate a lot. We always start with the outdoor decor. We have an eight foot inflatable snowman and penguin. The penguin has a Merry Christmas green and white striped scarf.

There are lights throughout both blowups so they can been seen as people are driving by the house. We set them up first usually at the upper end of our home. We then hang icicle lights across the front of the house. We have a Santa Stop Here lighted stop sign that sits at the end of our driveway. Read More »

When it comes to Christmas time I love to decorate. I spent in one year over $250.00 just in decorations and I use these decorations every year.

We have a 7 foot tall pre-lit Christmas tree that takes up almost one room in our little home. Once we put it up, we almost don’t want to put ornaments on it because it is pretty enough with all the lights that are already on it, but we do anyway.
