    What is your theme for your Christmas tree?

    in 2020

    Posted

    I have gingerbread and candy and candy canes. The last few years it's been transitioning a little more towards red and white and turquoise.

    My entire house is actually in a gingerbread and candy theme.

    Sometimes I do feel like I'm getting tired of it, but then I look at the cute little gingerbread men and smile (and I totally talk to them as I'm placing them on the tree). Also, I'm pretty committed to the theme, and it would be a pain (and expense) to change it. So I try changing it up a little every so often with new solutions in different colors or styles.

     

    Oh gosh!  I love the gingerbread idea!  I'd love to see a picture.  I can imagine how cute that would be!! :)

     

    We put up 9 trees. My husband really loves Christmas

     

    The main one has all the ornaments we have collected over the years. The dining room is Detroit Red Wings. The bathroom is rubber ducks. The kitchen has tractors. The landing has nutcrackers. The rest are generic ornaments.

     

     

    Haha!  Holy Moly!  9 trees?!  Are they all full size or some miniature trees?  I've thought about doing smaller trees in my boys' rooms to match their decor.  We have 4 boys 15,13, 7, and 10 months old.  That last one was a bit of a surprise and I can NOT get myself organized now, lol.  I'll be doing well just to get our one tree up this year  :runaway:

    I'm so ready to change mine up!  I've been rotating a red/gold Mickey Mouse theme or a blue/purple/silver themed for the last 15 years.  I'm thinking about the after Christmas sales on grabbing some new stuff for a different theme next year.  Tell me what you like to do! :)

    Is anyone else getting anxiety waiting for the ads to be released?

    I check in a lot to see who has liked my posts  :sidesplit

     

     

    You need to treat this year -- every Christmas season -- as a shopping event.  Compile a list of stuff you want and the prices you'd be happy to pay.  As you peruse the ads, jump of deals that exceed your expectations.  You can always return/price adjust.  I expect popular items to sell fast as there is almost certainly limited supply and the other stuff to get cheaper going forward as demand is just as certainly limited.

     

     

    Exactly.

     

     

    Buy, price match, return/rebuy.  It's time to get started.

     

     

    I've been feeling like this might be the last year here.  It feels like things may be winding down...

    We aren't winding down at all.  It's just a very weird year for everyone and that includes the retailers.  Once all the dust settles from Covid, I'm sure eventually Black Friday type sales will return.
