Christmas lights on your house??

[BitsyNaceyDog]

We got the inside decorations up last weekend, but we ran out of time and didn't get the outside lights up. We hope to get them up this weekend.

I put the outside lights up yesterday. On The Weather Channel, that was the last day in the future cast which was going to approach 50. TIMING!

The inside decoartions are up, but not the tree. We get a live cut one and this is a bit too early; even though they are selling them, the tree will ry out too soon.

I am hoping to get our decorations and tree out and up this weekend.
We have a fake tree, and having grown up with only real live trees, I actually like the fake one better. Lights are already on it. It doesn't dry out and drop needles all over the place. I don't have to keep water in it. It's just much nicer to me. People always say...but you don't get the fresh pine smell. Eh, that's okay, I don't mind. I can light candles if I really want to smell pine.

Because for the almost 20 years I went down to Florida for two weeks during Christmas, I never decorated. But all of that changed last year. So last year I got some things to decorate inside (artificial tree, garland, nativity set), this year I guess I should look into getting some outdoor decorations.

Yes and they're up already! It's my tradition to decorate outside Thanksgiving morning, no matter what the weather.

I dont decorate outside, we live out in the boonies, and the only people to see them would be us. So we dont bother. But I go nuts inside!! he he he!! But I have yet to start my decorating, will be doing that soon tho!!

Hubby used to put up outside lights years ago but has gotten somewhat lazy. For the past few years we have only had candles in the window which look OK I guess.

As far as decorations, I only have two snowmen sitting on my entertainment center. I really haven't had time to go through all of my Christmas stuff yet, and we can't set up a tree because of the cats. Hope to get some more stuff out this weekend and get the candles in the windows.

Mine are very subtle, we put up one string of lights along the verandah on the first of december and take them down at new year, i would love to have a lit up santa and sleigh on my roof, maybe one of these days if i can get one on sale,but we have a competition running every year for the most lit up houses, some of them are just amazing.

We do, but they are very subtle. We have 3 trees along the driveway (Catalpa's), and we put tiny white lights in those. VERY pretty!!
I always put decorations behind the window that are visible from the street

I love to walk or drive through our neighbourhood when it is dark (well, NOT on my own )
