Let's show pictures of how we decorate for the holidays! Inside and out...
(I'll be honest...I'm looking to steal ideas)
Mom to Madison and Katelyn
I always have a theamed color. It has been blue for the last two years so again this year it will be blue maybe next year ill go with Red and gold
I don't have any pics :(
But I usually put lights in all my windows and spray the window frost stuff. I also have cute little cutouts that I hang up in the parts of the windows that aren't frosted. I put lights up anywhere else I can..doorways, mantle, etc. I do my tree with a Christmas train around the bottom. I like to have holiday scented candles out and maybe a nice deep red table cloth on the kitchen table.
I am looking for creative ideas too.
I have to down load my pictures to the computer. But the pictures i have don't show everything. Last year we added about 1000 lights to the 3800 we already had. We already have plans for more. Home depot seems to be the place to go this year for lights. They are taking peoples old lights whether they work or not and giving 3 off coupons for LEDs 5 sets for person a day. Our goal is to have a total of 5500 lights this year. We are determined to get on our local tacky light tour although it will be pretty rather then tacky. I prefer the white lights over the colored but we have some mixed in so it looks nice. We are going to get this box that we can plug the lights into that will make the lights dance to Christmas Music. We also got some things on clearance last year and have seen several snowmen and what not that we want to add to the yard.
Inside i hang little stockings on our wall mounted coat rack. I put Mistletoe in the hall door ways. I place several santa figures and snowmen around the living room. I found a table clothe i want to get and a christmas kitchen rug i want. There are candles in all the windows with greenery hanging on the outside of the windows. This year i ham going to put some light up snow flakes on the windows. I need to add a few more indoor decorations. I saw a really cute sleigh that i am going to put ball ornaments in a place that on my kitchen table. I also put out a fake but realistic looking poinsetta out. I can't have real ones since i have cats.
I just bought all new ornaments and am doing a snowman themed tree in blues and silver. I am also doing a tree just with things the kids have made over the years.

Wow...I'm coming over to your place for Christmas!!
We always have a huge outdoor display,Last year was the first time in 30 years that we had trouble with Vandals, We haven't completely figured out what we're going to do this year. My idea was to hang lights around the top of the house and windows and place all Lawn ornaments in the back yard Just for OUR enjoyment. I have a few pictures from last year,these pictures were taken before we had completely finished with decorating, we have 4 large inflatable (Santa,Snowman,Globe with carousel inside,and a train)
Also not in picture is the Lollipops that line the driveway, The Candy canes that line the sidewalk and two other reindeers and the blue lights on the ground used to look like water for the deers to drink from, we have 3 spiral Christmas trees that wasn't in this picture either..If I remember right we had an earlier than usual snow and wasn't able to finish until the next night..I'm going to go back and search my pictures for a finished picture of the yard..Certainly I must have one?!?!
OK I did find a few more, again I doubt we had finished or this was after they had destroyed it. Looking again at the picture above I noticed this is a picture from another year, heres a few from last year:
MEMORIAL DAY!!!
