Decorating for Christmas

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)?

Don't lean against the railing after a hot date.

Sometime during the thanksgiving weekend we drive around and find a tree to cut down. Takes a while to find the perfect one and they're mostly in people's yards. People get pissed when you're in the process of cutting down the tree in their front yard, maybe we should go into the woods this year.

I shot my own turkey for Thanksgiving a few years ago, but now they don't let me shop at the Hy-vee anymore.

I guess we have a tradition of children making our decorations, but China handles that end of it.

I used to put a bunch lights up outside and the Mrs would put up the full size tree and decorate the railings in the entry and all that crap. Now we just put up a 2' tree on our coffee table and call it good.

Christmas used to make me want to hang myself. Now I just force myself to watch a bunch of youtube video's of fat black african kids with fly's stuck to the whites of their eyes and a smidge of thankfulness comes over me that I am not them.

Christmas is the best. I even decorate my hunting cabin. Sirius Holly is on all day when im near my sat radio. People who embrace the season are good happy people. I love the cooking, the music, enjoying time with friends and family. It is a joyous time to celebrate the birth of Christ.

I got rope red and clear rope lights. Wrapped them around the railing. Got a couple of big bows and a couple of red Christmas bells, and zip tied them. It's not going to win any contests, but it's simple and cute. I checked it out, and there's no way to hang anything from the ceiling out there. I'm on the top floor, so there are no boards to screw any rings into. If I could, I'd hang some over sized ornaments. I still have some ways I can dress it up if I want.

just make sure the drapes match the carpet. Thats all you need to know about decorating.
