Holiday Decorating

[julie*mango]

How many of you put up the tree yet? I just got out all my decorations and did the light checks. I'm all set with the exception of the pine tree and a stocking for Sarah. I can't believe I am so excited...I have never been this excited about Xmas...I think it's because it is the baby's first Xmas. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

Do you go all out with decorating? Changing your curtains, placemats, dishes, etc to Xmas themed stuff? How about outside? You got lights hanging off your roof? Mi not into that at all...mi fraid a di light bill [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Re: Holiday Decorating

I'm as decorated as i'm going to get this year...except for my tree. Probably won't do that til next weekend.

I've scaled back considerably this year on the decorations inside...minimal, natural and simple.

Outside, i've done my windowboxes, and 4 other arrangements here and there in pots with natural greens and winterberries. Now i just need snow to pretty it all up.

Fake or Real?

adding to Skelly's topic. Is your tree fake or real?

Personally, i could never have a fake tree. You may say i told you so when my house burns down.

Re: Fake or Real?

I'm thinking to get mine this weekend, while the selection is good, and just store it in my garage in a bucket of water. You might say, won't it dry out if you buy it this early? But let's face it, the trees have already been cut. I'd rather have it at my house in water, then sitting on the roadside without.

I MUST have a near perfect, petite tree. (my house is tiny)

all this cutting down of trees

[loops]

Re: Fake or Real?

nah....the trees are grown for a specific purpose which is to be cut down for christmas....as soon as they're cut...a new one is planted. christmas trees are quite sustainable...grow fast and can be composted.

how many artificial trees are sitting in landfills...forever?
