I put up two Christmas trees in my house
I put up two Christmas Trees in my house. One eight foot tree in formal living room, and a six foot one in the den/kitchen area. Both of the trees are artificial, pre-lit, skinny or pencil trees.
The tree in the formal living room is the more traditional of the two and is decorated with mostly maroon, gold and silver ornaments, with maroon and gold ribbon wrapped around from top to bottom. There are some of the expected glass balls, lots of glittery ornaments in the shapes of stars or angels or snowflakes and this tree has a customary angel on the top of is.
There are also a lot of glass ornaments in the shapes of icicles, and angels and Santa’s. The other tree in the den/kitchen area is smaller and decorated with homemade ornaments and Hallmark Christmas ornaments.
There are probably two-hundred- fifty of more Hallmark ornaments, everything from Barbies to Wizard of Oz, to I Love Lucy. The rest of the house is also pretty festive around the holidays.
The wedding china in the china cabinets is replaced with Spode Christmas china. The mantel above the fireplace is decorated with garland, berries, and the same ribbon that is used on the trees.
There is an antique nativity scene that is set up on the hall table in the foyer. We also get pretty elaborate with the outside lights. The entire roof of the house is lined with lights, we line the driveway and the walkway to the front door on both sides.
We wrap the branches on the trees in the front yard with lights. All together, I think that we used about twenty-five thousand lights in the yard last year. We also put lightes garland and a wreath on the front door.
