Lets see your Christmas decor

Admittedly it is early but since England is in another national lockdown and everyone is miserable, I decided that christmas starts early this year.

2020 has been pretty terrible so I thought sharing our Christmas stuff would cheer everybody up. I know I love to see decorations so let's see all your Christmas related stuff!



Darth got his gingerbread latte





My 2 year old decorated the tree and according to her I'm not allowed to fine tune it so this is what I've got this year lol

 

We are 3 days past Thanksgiving now...that's some serious slackin'!

I just got home last night. Only been slackin today.....lol

Since when is travelling an excuse!!?!!!

 

I just got my tree set up more house decor coming soon

 

All your trees are HUGE lol

 

 

I won't bring any Christmas decor down from the attic until after Thanksgiving. It seems advertisers are bringing out their Christmas ads earlier every year. Before long they will start running them the day after Easter. They started long before Halloween this year

I am thrilled to see Christ hasn't been taken out of Christmas on this thread. I guess if I had a pet peeve it would be Christ being replaced with an X.

BTW: Your little 2 year old done good I am sure s/he is very proud of it.

Actually, the "X" in Xmas comes from the Greek for Christ, Xristos. Sorry I don't know how to do the greek characters on this laptop, but anyways, in Greek 'Christ' sounds like 'Kreestoes' and it is spelled with an X

I always had real trees when I lived in the states, but they aren't a thing over here. I finally got a really decent 'fake' though.

Edit: the New Testament was written in Greek, hence the Xristos

 

If I'm not christian, I'm still allowed to celebrate Christmas right?

 

Even my loaf agrees it’s too early

Edit: it doesnt actually look that good because my toddler keeps taking all the decorations off the tree...

My youngest is finally old enough where we can put the ornaments on the bottom of the tree. She and her sister are BIG Christmas fans

Not yet...he hasn't knocked it down! He likes to hide in it and try to steal my Runza though

Runza!? Haha, fellow Nebraskan. I thought I had seen somebody's bio say Nebraska. Where do you live? My folks are still in York.

SIDENOTE: I don't actually care weather or not anyone tells me I can or can't, I'm going to celebrate anyway

Haha yes just just means something different to you vs the Christian

Your porch is amazing! I love it and the decorations!
I have 2 larger trees, but I did not feel like putting them up. too much wok, lol

I have a small tree from wallmart that I am using it's maybe 3-4 feet tall. I also have 2 one foot tall trees.

I went Nordic - lots of white & green this year. I redid my wreath over mantel , removed brown ornaments & added a light green pick to it. I love it now.

 

I will probably put mine up next week. I know, I know it's late. I will share pics then.

Is that blocking a door?

It's a closet door.

Ok. I’m just picturing myself being crushed by a tree while trying to get to the bathroom late at night.

 

Putting some lights up at work tomorrow i think. Maybe i will remember pictures!

Lol! I wouldn't put it near the door. It's safer in the corner. Biggest hazard is the cat

Ok. I’m just picturing myself being crushed by a tree while trying to get to the bathroom late at night.

Lol! Nope never near the door. My dog enthusiastically runs through while playing. It's safer in the corner. The biggest hazard is the cat occasionally batting an ornament. I have a bunch of really heavy glass balls that won't break if she plays with them towards the bottom. My bird ornaments with feathers stay near the top, along with anything super fragile.

 

I put our tree up quite early this year, around November 15 if I remember correctly. I usually wait till after Thanksgiving, but with work playing Christmas music and already bringing out the decorations I couldn't wait any longer. Plus, it never lasts very long if you wait till December, time flies these days.

I normally decorate around my tanks a bit, such as put colored paper up in between the betta tanks, but being that I don't have any of my tanks anymore I really don't have much to decorate.

 

Just got a tree. Going to put ornaments on tomorrow. Will post pictures then.

 

I’ll try to remember to get some close-up shots of my Santa’s and Reindeer collections tomorrow.

My guard shack.

 

I decorated at work too, it’s one of my favourite things about this job. I get paid to do things I like to do anyway

 

I got my tree a few days ago, just been to lazy to post a pic


We always put an owl on top. Don’t ask why, I don’t know.

You have an owl on top of your tree, i have a living cat on the top of mine. Maybe we just have the coolest traditions ever?

Aren’t cats great. Surprisingly, my cats haven’t started nesting in the tree this year. That, or they’ve gotten smart enough to do it when I’m not around. It’s probably the latter.

My cats aren't smart enough for that. Pretty sure if my furry boys were human children, they would be in some special needs class with lifetime disability....just like our human boys!

 

As promised, my Santas and reindeer collections.
