We just throw a some poorly placed lights on the three bushes out front.
For the past couple years we've had a fake white tree inside with purple lights on it.
Bah Hum Bug indeed.

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, JM.

Our holiday decorations consist of a fake wreath on the door and stockings on the fire place.  We had a very small real tree last year, that I managed to kill before spring.  Don't think we will bother this year. 

Homemade chili and corn bread for dinner.  Yum.  Cheese cake brownies for desert later when B gets back from school.

dan's comment cracked me up


you are very ambitious JM 

we do a fresh cut tree in our foyer which has a cathedral ceiling.
last years tree was 14 FT! we cut it ourselves, and seek out the tallest thinest tree we can find.
mike likes colored lights and i prefer all white so we alternate years.
this year should be colored lights unless i can confuse him into thinking we did that last year 

outside i do white lights in the creeping junipers that run along the walkway,
they usually get covered over by snow and it looks really pretty.
i also do white lights in a dwarf weeping birch tree.
i very carefully wrap all the major branches, so it accentuates the shape of the tree.

I do have an ormental Magnolia out front, that might be for some pretty decorating.  I like blue lights (not behind me of course ) and have strands of purple, red, green and white.  I think the icicle lights (900 total, blue & white) might do something out front, maybe even the tree.  Some of the lights are dual-color too.  Those went under the eve of the house for a colorful walk up to the front door.  Might add to those then.

My parent's have a 33ft celiing in the living room, so we had lots of very tall trees growing up.  Now, due to age & health they have a 9ft artificial tree that looks nice, but is still small for the room.

Thanks for mentioning what you folks do, that helps me visualize what I want and gives me fresh perspective  

Evenin' dp!

I've never heard that. 

Remember, I haven't told you guys even a small fraction of my adventures thru life.

Oh, do tell.

My Turkey was the best!  Turkey, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, brussel sprouts with shallots, gravy, cranberry relish, and pecan pie.  About half the items for a real Thanksgiving day, but still good.

Even the dishes are all done!  My hands look like prunes. 

I do not like Christmas.  Not even when I was a kid.
