Christmas 2008

[PumpkinJack81]

The majority of the decorations are outside. My husband loves National Lampoons Christmas vacation and tries each year to get closer and closer to it
We have spiral trees, reigndeer, a sleigh, nets, icicles, white and multi colored, projector, lit balls in the trees and large plastic lawn bulbs. If there is more, I can't remember right now, lol
Inside, my favorite part is the fireplace. We put garland with lights around the mantel and down the sides. This year, I'm going to try to do a small Christmas village on a table with some "snow"

I love it! Please take pics of your DH's work this year and let us see!

I bet that it will be gorgeous. I would love to invest in a village. I hear walmart has several great pieces. This year.

I have two crystal nativity scenes somewhere here but I can't find them this year. both we given to me.

I started a Christmas village for my Dad a few Christmases ago after buying the pieces 50% off at Kohl's end of Christmas sale.

Anyone have any new decorations this year that you can't wait to put up/out? What do you decorate the most - indoors, outdoors or both? Tell us about your decorations for Christmas 2008 here!

I have just bought something I didn't expect I could find : a half christmas tree. It's very useful if you want to save space and put it against a wall for example.

we decorate inside and outside and probably do overkill but we both love Christmas. Last year we put an extra 35amp outlet to help with the outdoor lighting. I decorate every room of the house - the joke around the family is 'if it stays still for 5 mins it gets decorated' nobody sits still very long when they visit

Take a look at www.drop.io/ilovechristmas.

It's a quick web page I made up as an example that was free and fairly simple to do. You can easily make your own and after you upload your pics you and your friends can view them using the cool slideshow effect. It accepts up to 100MB of picture files, and that's a lot. The instructions are there.

Enjoy.
