Your favorite holiday decoration

What one thing are you most excited to put out for the holidays?  Describe it, or photos.

Oooh... can we do a PIP post in a few weeks where people share their trees?  GR Nestie tree tour?

Re: Your favorite holiday decoration

  • I like the tree tour idea!

    I was excited to put up our garlands on the staircase & between the living room & dinning room. They're so pretty!

  • Well we pretty much only do a tree, so that's my favorite thing to put up!  LOL.  We may accumulate more holiday decor now that we have a little one though.  Here is our tree (last year's pic):

  • I'm going with my tree as well. It's one of the few things we decorate for the season.

    This is our tree this year (crappy phone pic).  H still hasn't put the star on the top.  It's hard to see, but it's decorated with blue, green, silver and white ornaments.

  • I have begun collecting Christmas tree decorations that I place on top of our kitchen cabinets.  That's probably my favorite.

    I feel meh about our tree.  B and I have very different opinions about how a tree should be decorated.  Our tree is kind of a compromise.  As a result, I don't think either of us love it.

    I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but my H has no interest in decorating the tree.  He just sat in his recliner playing on his phone while I did all the decorating.  That makes me sad.  I wish he had an opinion or wanted to help.  :-/  He did however string the lights for me.  That was as far as his interest went.  I'm still waiting for the star to be added to the top...

  • I will join the GR Nestie tree tour once our tree is up!

    My favorite decoration is the lighted garland that we put up inside. I love being surrounded by the light. Second place goes to our stockings. I made them out of felt last year. Mike's is a snowman, mine is a Christmas tree and Henry's is a gingerbread man.  My Christmas tree has sequins for ornaments and gold ribbon for garland. They are silly and not super ornate or impressive, but I love them. 

  • Count me in on the Tree Tour as well.

    I like to put my wooded snowmen on the front porch. It 3 small snowman standing on each other with christmas lights in their "arms".  

  • The Advent calendar with little drawers for every day and then the Mickey Mouse ornament we bought at Disney World.
  • I love them all - but mostly I love outdoor lights.  We have big multi color c9 bulbs that I love putting up, so festive.  We also do white lights on a tree and I wrapped an upside down tomato cage in white lights as a "tree" for our porch.

  • Oooh, I like the tree tour! Count me in!

    I like all the decorations, but the tree and my Christmas village are my favorites.

    Aw, that's a bummer. 

  • I am giggling about the Xmas tree tour.  Yet again, we have a tree that is tilting like the Tower of Pisa.  I should probably get a pic soon before it topples over.
  • I love it all, but especially love our real tree and the smell!
