Are you decorated?

judy · 12-12-2008, 09:29 AM

Right after the cleaning woman comes, I will set out the tree, and my angels. I'll buy the wreath this week. My neighbor has one candle light in each window and it's just beautiful. I think I'll copy him. I hope he doesn't mind - they say imitation is the highest form of flattery. I'm going to look for red candle lights.

I think the candles in the windows are beautiful too. There are quite a few people who do that around here. He probably won't even think you're copying him.

I have not decorated, matter of fact I was buying a new tree this year and I was out the day after Thanksgiving went to Sears. My darling husband says we will buy it next week well next week came and they are sold out.. Can you believe it!! Most of the stores by me Loews , Home Depot are all sold out of trees. What its the first week of December. I always remember the stores having an after Christmas sale. Looks like they don't order as much these days..

I hope to decorate by next week... and post photos.. I can't wait to see everyone's decorations..

Mike decorated outside last weekend. We have a huge blow up Grinch that we have had for years. My youngest grandson LOVES him, lol! Every year we think will be his last, but ol' Grinch just keeps working

We brought the boys home with us today to stay for a week, and we'll go cut a Christmas tree!!

HEY! Don't those boys go to school!

I know you are so happy to have them with you!

My little lighted wreath is on my porch by the front door. I think that is the only outside decorating we will do. I put the tree up this weekend, so I'm pretty much done.

My outside lights have been up for a few weeks, and last week we put up our new Christmas tree with our new decorations

I also bought a cute LED snowman family (3 snowmen) that are on my three shelves in the living room with garland, and 3 LED little praying angels which are on the mantle with garland. Scott and I need to still buy stockings for ourselves, and one for Layla

They are home schooled this year. They have done so much traveling to churches in preparation to go to Scotland, they had to have something flexible. I have never been a fan of home schooling, but I must admit my opinion has changed! It is so organized now, and the curriculum is great. Rachel does an unbelievable job of teaching them, and it helps that they learn easily.

...and I'm so glad to get to spend so much time with them

gja1000 · 12-08-2009, 06:13 PM

That is really cool, Betsi! I can certainly understand the reason for home schooling! I know you are enjoying having them this time of year!

Judy, if your red candles emote red light - your neighbor might get a different idea

(red light district???)

gja1000 · 12-16-2008, 11:42 AM

I FINALLY have my Christmas tree up! Whooo Hooo! I don't think we are going to get the outdoor lights up this year - oh well, maybe next year!

pope1982 · 11-26-2009, 08:48 PM

First on the street to have Christmas decorations up outside lol

A blowup snowman and a reindeer made of twigs with an animated head that turns from side to side. They both light up at night. I will work on the rest of the decorations after I get my parents moved after the 1st!

Janet · 11-27-2009, 05:50 AM

Okay now...where are the pictures???? I MIGHT start decorating next week...but not sure.

DianaB · 11-27-2009, 08:09 AM

We should start a new poll on this!!

judy · 11-29-2009, 08:00 AM

I never did get those red lights! I got solar lanterns during the summer, which are so pretty in the windows.

I will put my tiny little solar tree up soon. I have a nice wreath to hang, and I think I will buy a small potted tree for the porch. I saw the coolest wreath yestrerday on TV. It's a round wreath with a peace sign in the middle. I can make that so easily, and put yellow ribbons on it for our troops to come home safely. I think I will put that on the door, and put the other wreath on the back, on the deck.
