I usually do oversized bells or a large stocking. We'll also do the tree -- a really TALL one since we moved and have really, really high ceilings. And we'll do stockings, and then some type of Christmas-y thing for the table.</p> <p>The other day we were dropping off my son's friend and passed a house that was COMPLETELY decked out for Christmas. This was on October 25th! I guess they just wanted to make sure they got to really enjoy them!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456147 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:34:43 +0000 Lillindy 456147@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>For sure we will be having a tree, especially since it's the first Christmas in our first house :)&nbsp; And we'll hand some stockings over the fireplace.&nbsp; The hubby wants to hang Christmas lights outside, but it scares me a little because it's like saying to crooks, "Hey we have tons of presents in here, come take a look!"&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456146 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:31:11 +0000 crebre80 456146@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my mom totally buys after christmas decor. i think M would have a heart attack.&nbsp; he is already fainting by the amount i got last year lol....</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456119 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:03:39 +0000 catlady 456119@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>It's not Christmas until Santa throws up all over the house.&nbsp; There's an annual contest for the best decorated house in our area and for the past four years, we've finished in the top three.&nbsp; We have no plans to end that streak!</p> <p>I'm so obsessed with winning that we go so far as picking up discounted decorations after Christmas and storing them for the following year.&nbsp; Last year I walked away with 3 lit reindeer, a box of ornaments, and a faux christmas tree all at 75% off.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456102 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:53:04 +0000 crebre80 456102@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I definitely need to start wrapping gifts and clean my house etc! picks are little decorated bunches with a stick in them that you can stick in a wreath or on a tree....</p> <p><img src="http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/7027500/2/istockphoto_7027500-christmas-deco-pick.jpg" /></p> <p>m is totally not into christmas so i will have to sneak my christmas decorations... lol dude i cannot wait to watch griswold's christmas vacation!!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456099 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:48:53 +0000 Boston Bee 456099@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I wish I could go all out!&nbsp; I LOVE Christmas!&nbsp; My bf and roommate were out camping this weekend, so I went shopping hoping to surprise them with a decorated house, but oh my! Decorations are so expensive!&nbsp; I'm living off of student loans, so I'm on a really tight budget.&nbsp; I got some christmas lights, got some stalkings and decorated them, got a little tree/plant thing for our coffee table, but that's all I could afford.&nbsp; My bf said he'd pick up a small christmas tree, which makes me happy!&nbsp; I wrapped some presents yesterday and put them downstairs, so that makes it a little more christmas-y.&nbsp; Sigh, I hate having no money. haha</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/decorating-for-christmas#post-456054 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:49:40 +0000 EAQ219 456054@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>:( Ths thread makes me sad. We have such a small and poorly laid out apartment that we can't really decorate. We have no room (and believe me when I say NO room) for a tree. We don't have a mantel to decorate. The most we're doing is putting up this cute ceramic, light-up xmas tree as a centerpiece on our dining room table. We have a balcony, too, so I think we'll string some lights along that. Hopefully next year we'll be in a better place and can properly do Christmas decorations. Ooh maybe later this month or early Dec. some one can start a thread for people to post pics of their decorations!!</p>
