My lights.

 

[xsouzie]

I'll share mine. I went with a peacock theme this year...























And I wanted to include the last photo I took of my cat...we take these under the tree pics every year. He passed away a few weeks ago at 18 years old and I'm so sad he won't be spending another Christmas with us. However, I feel so blessed to have had all those years with him. Happy Holidays everyone!!

Ohhh RIP kitty. So beautiful and so sad when we lose them; especially when they've been part of everything in our lives for so long. Hugs.

So sorry about your kitty.

Your decorations are beautiful.

So I don't do much. I quit doing the bigger tree and decorations inside during Covid and just started doing this little tree with my painted eggs from the Christmas markets. And I've kept doing it. That's about it. So it probably looks the same as the last time.

We used to hire people to hang Christmas lights all the way to our rooftops, until about 3 years ago when one of the workers fell off our roof and scared us half to death, since then we have improvised with low hanging things that dh and I can easily put up ourselves. This year we added inflatables which don’t look good during the day when deflated, but they’re easy and we are getting lazy…..

So sorry to hear about your sweet kitty, xsouzie.

You have such beautiful decorations and a stunning house. Would you mind sharing the make/model of your cabinet pulls?

 

[missy]

I don't have photos yet of our decorations but here's a photo of the Rockefeller tree this year

 

[Ally T]

My decorations are the same as last year, only I added tons more baubles to the trees & changed position of the kitchen tree. I have literally decorated the whole house, so here are some little peeks. My beautiful Dark Angel always looks fierce with her golden tinsel against the blue of the Winter Lounge

Thank you! My apologies, I don't know where they're from. I got them through my contractor and didn't even think to ask where they were purchased.

Thank you! The decorations are stored in the basement and garage when not in use.

Ohhh RIP kitty. So beautiful and so sad when we lose them; especially when they've been part of everything in our lives for so long. Hugs.

You are so right and I'm very partial to the quote 'If love could've saved you, you would've lived forever.' *gentle hugs*

So sorry about your kitty.

Your decorations are beautiful.

Thank you!

I’m so sorry for your loss @xsouzie. The picture you posted of him is beautiful.

Can relate. I’m only allowed up a 3 step step ladder because I’m uncoordinated. I’m also not allowed anything inflatable or animatronic so I just coat the entire front garden in lights.
Love a bit of colour.

its Christmas weather here, too hot at night and summer stormy =so weird dream weather
but i was visited by Borris and Sox last night
Borris looked so beautiful, not sick at all
today wt work we talked about who we missed at xmas, you know mum and dad or who ever
i said Tinky, Tibby, Borris and Sox
this is about Bruce's dead band mates (not everyone in the video is passed)
but it came out just after Tibby passed
sometimes at night when im drifting off to sleep i hear Borris or Sox thundering down the hall and sometimes i guess when im asleep i dream they jump on the bed

Oh Daisy, I can so relate! A few days after my cat's passing, I dreamed of him running in a field and he was healthy and whole again. Beautiful song!

So I don't derail the thread, here's another photo under the Christmas tree...that could be considered as decor, right? This was last year's

 

[Calliecake]

Everyone’s decorations are so beautiful!

@MamaBee and @mrs-b, Did you decorate this year? This thread doesn’t seem complete without your beautiful Christmas decorations. I hope all is well you. You are missed here.

@Calliecake , @MamaBee shared a few glorious pictures on the NIRDI thread. And I agree, both those ladies houses are stunning with decorations.

Stunning decorations and house. Spotless!!!!

 

[monarch64]

Love everyone’s decor!!! This year I did a pink “Barbie” tree with bows and those giant (tacky) plastic gemstone ornaments. I absolutely love it. I did use a little more subtle color scheme in the kitchen. I really wanted to hang Barbie dolls all over the tree, but my rational self won and squashed that idea.

(Is the tree leaning? Yes, yes it is. It’s a Balsam Hill and it’s crooked. Last year I tied it to the ceiling or something, I don’t remember, so it was straight. This year I really don’t care. I hope it looks like the Leaning Tree of Pisa to my neighbors. They need a good laugh.)

 

[fussykiki]

My tree and my wreath this year.

I’ve been lazy this year
