We have one tree in the window of the living room - tradtion Christmas window scene!
Ant his year one in the family room at the back of the house - i need to buy this tree so might actually wait and get a real one.
We are moving into our new house soon and the excitement is building . i havent a clue what to do yet and will spend from october onwards formulating a plan.
the tree will defo go in the window so the everyone can see it.
i also have nice rope lights to go in the garden . the rest will take careful planning as we are having the family over for xmas day.
Well, this will be the 20th Christmas in my house so things are pretty routine by now! I always start decorating the day after Thanksgiving and finish by the first weekend in December. Usually the outside lights go up first. It's good to get this done because the weather can turn bad at any time. Next, I set up the village. That is very time consuming and takes a full day. People are always amazed by the results. Then I set aside a day for general decorating including the small white tree in the den. I always have to pack away my everyday decorations to make room first. Lastly, I set up the main tree in the living room front window. Can't wait!
I hope to Tink! I just hope to be able to decorate to the extent I always do. My recovery time is long. I will need to be fitted for an orthodic device before I can walk. It takes a month for it to be made, but I can't even be fitted for it until I am totally healed. Hopefully I will be walking again in November!
i just love to decorate my home..and i am trying to decorate throughout the house with Christmas trees of different sizes and colors.

I also have to put away my usual decorations to make room for Christmas. The basic plan is always the same with some variey in the details. The foyer tree is white lights, white crochet snowflakes and crystal icicles; guest room has a small seedling with characters from children's books and movies. The living room tree varies: Some years I use our shiny blown glass ornies, others our country fabric, wood and pottery ones and occasionally our sparkly turquoise, chartreuse and purple ones (not too often though). My trees always have angel-dog tree toppers since brittanies and australian shepherds have been our fur children for many, many years. My Santas perch on almost every flat surface and I have a nativity scene in most rooms.
