Misc Decorating for Christmas - Page 5

When do you do it? Real tree or artificial? Color scheme? Multiple trees/rooms? Outdoor decorating?

I currently live in a studio apartment, so I went out and bought a 4' pre-lit tree. I have a few decorations, but it just a few knick-knacks. I have a strand of lights that I typically wrap around the railing of my balcony, but they decided not to work this year.

Looks like it's another trip to the store for lights and ornament hooks.

Also, do you have any traditions (i.e. family outing to find a tree, children making decorations, etc)?

I put up a tree and a single strand of lights inside our dining room window frame with the wife last night.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

What a joyous season to celebrate the birth of Santa.

As for traditions, my wife and I buy a new Hallmark ornament with the year on it each year. Have done this since we got married. We also play Christmas music and drink White Russians while we decorate.

Me and my wife, and you and your wife, must have been separated at birth.

As a guy that was married a month ago, I'm going to make this suggestion to the wife.

And I'm going to reap all the benefits of being a thoughtful and loving husband, while not telling her I got the idea from CP.

Ah, that's the Christmas-y feeling I was looking for.
