Christmas lights on your house??

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.

As the bartender would say..."Done!" We did it all last Saturday...tree up, banister draped, house lit....and Santa is hiding behind a tree!

Our lighted yule star is on the top window of our house year-round. The rest of the lights go up on the house after thanksgiving. No decorations inside yet. Not until December.
