The Christmas decorations thread, 2019!

[soxfan]

Love all of the pictures. This thread is getting me excited about decorating for the holidays. I'm still looking for a nice faux tree but the ones I've seen in stores look a little dingy. The fake tree I bought on Amazon last year had half of the lights go out within the first couple of weeks so now I'm afraid to buy one pre-lit.

So far, I brought out some small decorations around the house and kids put holiday wall decals up in their bedrooms. We also turned our fridge into a snowman.

Fake trees are something you HAVE to see in person set up. This is the one I got and it's amazing. The branches don't have any of that green tinsel or bottle brush bristles. These go all the way to the brown plastic branches and then to the trunk.

Finished the baby one in my bedroom this evening. The gifts underneath are for a party we're having on the 27th; we've bought something small for everyone who's coming and needed to separate them for ease of access.

This tree is my Australian tree. The ornaments are all made in Australia and are hand-painted Australian flora. Very sentimental and special. We put this up each year as a memory of our home and families.

Oooooooh @mrs-b It’s so pretty! Is that a tinsel tree? They’re my favorites!

That tree looks even better close up. Thanks for posting pic of the box. I'll check my local HD.

I love the flowers on the tree! I always tend to gravitate towards wide, squat trees but you ladies are making me want a tall, narrower tree!

Oh my @xsouzie that is stunning! So elegant and pretty!
