I buy my Christmas decorations on clearance after Christmas. Last year at Target I purchased a tree on clearance for $5.00.

It is a 6 foot artificial Douglas fir. I bought some of my ornaments on sale the same way.

My young children wanted to decorate their own tree this year so I brought them to AC Moore on the 1st of November.

They had Christmas items on sale for 55% off. They had a huge selection, and their ornaments are just as nice as the ones I purchased elsewhere.

While I was there I looked in the children’s craft section and found some cute things I could make with the kids to set on table tops, window sills, and my counter top. Read More »

When I decorate I start by going through all of my old Christmas decorations, those class decorations that breaks I go to a department store, ie: Target or K-Mart, to purchase them.

I start decorating the windows first. I like color lights around the windows. Then I put clear lights on the tree.

I have the star put on and the tree skirt. I place ornaments around the tree skirt, such as baby Jesus, etc. Read More »

I love to decorating the house for Christmas. I love the season, and decorating the house really puts me in the holiday spirit. I use a combination of traditional and modern Christmas decorations.

I love to use pretty green pine garlands on the banister. I have several decorations that I take out and put on surfaces all over the house, such as a contemporary metal Santa and tree.

I have sparkly stars that I like to drape around objects on the walls or underneath the mantle – I vary it each year. I bring out a beautiful crystal bowl that I use once a year for just this purpose: I get fancy glass ornaments and put 3-4 in the bowl, which I use it as a centerpiece on our dining room table. It looks very pretty. 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 »

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 »
