We usually start decorating on the last week of November. So we have at least one month to enjoy the Christmas decorations.

There is something about opening up that door every evening and coming in to the fresh scent of a Christmas tree. That feeling just cant be replaced. We do plan to add a few little trees next year when we have some more room in the new home.

We usually cut our own so it's very fresh and lasts until we take it down. As far as decorating, as much as I'd like to change the theme every year, my family likes things to remain predictable :) I've got everything on my tree.. even the little kid/hand-made ornaments.<br /><br />xx<br />leslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280782743483018226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-40306818802987875172012-11-15T10:47:46.098-05:002012-11-15T10:47:46.098-05:00Elizabeth you really go all out; your home should ...Elizabeth you really go all out; your home should be on a Holiday Tour! <br /><br />I am in a small condo so I will do a table top tree with a lot of copper, gold, and cream .

I am struggling with moving on to the holidays after the storm (somehow missing Halloween makes me think it's still mid-October). Your holiday cheer is putting me into the spirit. <br /><br />I keep trying to get an artificial tree, but my family won't stand for it. They insist on a real tree every year especially my husband, which is funny because he is Jewish!! I do two trees - a big one and a small one in my kids' play rooom (even though they aren't kids any more!).<br /><br />xoxoxoxSandy at You May Be Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108555245405638530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-9615138866313959722012-11-15T08:10:28.941-05:002012-11-15T08:10:28.941-05:00I do love a real tree and had one last year, but n...I do love a real tree and had one last year, but never again. Too messy for me and I got tired of watering it and then it was very brittle by Christmas anyway. I am going much smaller this year with an artificial tree on a table instead of climbing up and down a ladder for the tall one. I just don't want to do that anymore. I will have small trees scattered like you.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-65014226713723005072012-11-15T07:08:08.462-05:002012-11-15T07:08:08.462-05:00Hi Elizabeth,

We buy a 3ft potted tree that will sit on our chart table in the pilot house. There are windows all around so it can be seen by all. Then when Christmas is done we gift the tree to a friends garden. I am a Chistmas nut so no doubt, decoration will commence soon :-)<br /><br />Happy Thursday dear friend.<br />Di<br />xxxxYONKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659751063643621817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-53090339120736037962012-11-15T06:49:22.503-05:002012-11-15T06:49:22.503-05:00Good morning gorgeous!

However, I love the organic element about the house and last year I purchased some awesome curly willow that I branch out onto a tree form. I LOVE IT. I put lights and hang my glittered birds and there you have it. Instant charm. <br /><br />I WANT TO SEE PHOTOS OF YOUR TREE! I will see what I can do around here after this art show is over; I haven't had a chance to decorate or clean!!!!

I don't like plastic trees unless they are done with wit, but am partial to the vintage aluminium ones. (Yes, no consistency in my logic I know.) Love trees made from anything other than what is expected - and of course love all living trees. Glamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.com
