How neat, McB! And I'll bet you leave them up until after New Year for a long Chrissy season?
Usually mid-December here, and with a pretend tree for the last 5 - 6 years. We only have one bag of deccy's but its a magic bag of holding.  -------------------- |

I usually put the candles in the windows as soon as we set the clocks back, but this year I have to wait for Someone to move the boxes for me.
The Boy Scouts have a Christmas tree sale on the first weekend of December at our school, so we’ll get our tree(s) then. I love getting real trees there. I’ve gotten to know the tree farm owners a little over the years, we’ve been out to see their farm and it’s beautiful, and it’s a fundraiser for the kids. Plus we have low ceilings, so we get the least expensive trees. Yeah, they make a mess. I’m over it. I know it sounds a little Martha Stewart, but I make my own wreaths. We have holly, Southern magnolia, and cedar growing in the garden, and they could all use a little trim. So when I put the wreaths up varies from early December to Christmas Eve. (I got a lot of lip that year, but they were worth the wait!) We also unsurprisingly have enough of the kids’ craft projects to turn the house into a fire hazard. I use them all with delight, even the unpainted dough lump hanging from a red ribbon that is supposed to represent a decorated tree. Actually that one might be my favorite.  -------------------- Jerric's Story * Darnandex * Screenshot: Cyrodiil Meadow |

We generally start the decorating when my dad is around so either right after Thanksgiving or a couple days before Christmas.
First goes the fake tree. I no longer decorate because I'm scared there are spiders in it  So I let Wrothken and my brothers handle it.We put stockings in the hall mid-December. I'm hoping to make some stockings for each of the cats (there are seven in all). My youngest brother wants to make a few for the deceased pets, though I'm not sure if it's a good idea. He tends to brood and then blame people and then his temper explodes. The wreath goes up. I think my brother has a wreath he made in school years ago that he hangs on his door. -------------------- Madness Helps Me Save Myself Nemesis Standing on the cliffs that kiss burning winds We are rising together Brazen, exalting, a hiss of triumph rings I am yours ...Yours immortally |

Decorations? I've heard of these things. I think.
Nothing going up here. Would have to buy them and getting Skyrim took all my free funds for the next several months. -------------------- "When in danger, or in doubt.

I remember decorating for Christmas in my first apartment on zero budget. I spent an evening with my two roommates tying red yarn around the house plants and cutting snowflakes out of scrap paper. Also passing around a bottle of Southern Comfort with a little cranberry juice poured in to make it look festive. The next morning we discovered that all of the cut-out bits of paper were still on the floor. It looked like it had snowed indoors.

Absolutely right, Grits !! I have bought a reel of red velvet ribbon and tied little bows on the tree. It was $1.37 for the ribbon and beautiful !!

The Christmas tree is up!
The question is now when will it come back down. Today I put away a paper lantern that was still out from Halloween and a paper chain from Thanksgiving.  -------------------- Jerric's Story * Darnandex * Screenshot: Cyrodiil Meadow |

Lights are up on the exterior.
As a side note, I already hate Christmas music. It was playing all day at work. -------------------- |

Well our Christmas decoration is done. In the spirit of not paying any money I give you: the irn bru can tree.
 To be honest neither of us spend christmas in the flat so there's not much point in bothering with more. -------------------- Look behind you and see an ever decreasing number of ghosts. Currently about 15.

It started mid November I think. I might get another layer on it before christmas depending on how busy I am.
