Christmas decorations

[Logan]

These last couple of days i've been putting up Christmas decorations.
Had a new taller artificial christmas tree that's 6ft.
Has anyone else been putting theirs up?

And after

Had a lot of new ornaments the snow flake is covered in silver glitter.

Penguin got 6 of those.

The garland is new had it free with the tree.
The decs are old had them on the tree a few years ago but wanted something different for the tree. They've been in a box wondering what to do with them, didn't want to throw them away.

Polar bears are from last year, the father christmas on the right is new, he's about 15 inches tall and stands by himself.love him.

that is so pretty. I don't do much inside the house. have something new for lights outside, to set up this weekend. and the front window gets a pretty star.

 

[Logan]

Thank you Esther, your star is pretty as well I put lights inside the front windows,on the window ledge but all the other houses have them outside.

Very nice decorations, Logan and Esther! Love the white feature along the staircase.

We don't do a lot with decorations, apart from the hall. Neither do we bother with a Christmas tree, just string up all the cards.

As most of the houses in our road have similar front doors several of our neighbours have lights like ours.

That plant pot you can see in "mid air" is one of two we have hanging on chains from the ceiling above the staircase

But my wife increases the number of candle she has around the house both scented and those like these, battery powered and remote controlled. (We've had that gas fire for sixteen years, it only gets turned on for testing when we have the combi in the kitchen checked).
My wife insisted on having it when we had the new central heating which replaced a gas fire with a back boiler in the same position, "in case it broke down."
She designed the Art Deco fire surround.

Then there's our lights on the pergolas in the garden. The red berry lights are on every night all year round.

"Sparkly" reflections from our koi pool.

Not much in the way of decorations this year. We are heading to Florida for a couple of days so we are going to forgo decorating.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

Ah! Those were the days of "real trees" when the kids were small. Still finding in August, the occasional pine needles in odd corners of the carpet.

Trouble is with real trees they won't take the weight of the baubles and lights.

I always did a Christmas Tree Esther, then the hubby said what's the point there's only we and a few nights back he changed his mind to bad as i'm not buying again
