abentley Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 My favorite is "gingerbread". Men, houses and flavor!! Ok, I love candy canes, and decorating with red & white too.
Firemansgal311 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Our tree is mostly disney we even have a Mickey topper. I want to split the kids ornaments up on individual trees and have a traditional white and gold tree in the living area. But that'll wait at least another year til we move.
lennon2004 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Old. Well, not really, but since we don't really have a "theme", we use a bunch of different ornaments, and some are pretty old.
Great Dane Mom Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I'm beginning to feel like the Kranks. I like the idea of skipping Christmas and going to Bermuda or someplace tropical.
mrn8 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Our tree is mostly disney we even have a Mickey topper. I want to split the kids ornaments up on individual trees and have a traditional white and gold tree in the living area. But that'll wait at least another year til we move.Ours is, too. We've got a Tinkerbell topper and a few of the Disney ornament sets (Peter Pan, Incredibles, Toy Story).
nubeedeallover Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Snowmen!! I used to have my bedroom decorated with snowmen all year round when I was younger. Now they just come out at Christmas-time and they are everywhere!
sherril Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Our tree os Looney Toons. But I like the snowmen theme. I have the whole snowmen set for the bathroom.
Steakgoddess Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I don't have a theme. The upstairs tree is done by color (changes every year) This year the tree (and house) will be decorated in green, red, and white. The downstairs tree is a small, sad little thing I picked up on clearance at Target one year. That is where all of our "memories" and funky ornaments sit.
becca0884 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Our ornaments were mostly made by my mom, dad, and grandma in the early-mid 80s. lol They are all ceramic & painted. It has memories to them, but I just think they look tacky now. lol
JazzMama Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I guess mine is more of a color theme. We have alot of jewel-tone blown glass ornaments and tabletop pieces. We also have lots of pine sprigs/berries and crystal candleholders on all of the tables, entertainment center, etc. My main thing, though, is having lots of holiday-scented candles lit nearly every evening. Last year it was the pine tree scent from Bath&Body Works, but who knows for this year.
Gator Pam Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 hanukah. I hang dreidels off the Xmas tree at work :)Ditto. I don't hang dreidels on the tree at work, but my theme at home is dreidels, menorahs, blue and white, etc. Now at FIL's, who is Wisconsin Lutheran born and raised and whom we visit for Chr-stmas Day, the theme is eccletic with inherited ornaments and decorations.
ccarson1972 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 We don't have a certain theme. I have all kinds of ornaments including character ones. I use a multi-color, multi-function light set and also hang candy canes on the tree.
mitchandalisha Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I decorate my tree with gold and silver ornaments and white lights. I think it's beautiful! Talking about it makes me want to put it up!!
tyler99199 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 My wife and I have the same birthstone,Amethyst,so mostly our tree is decorated in purple
Gloey Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I've become quite bah humbug and not decorated the past couple of years since I don't have any children at home anymore. I don't mind putting up but I sure hate taking down. Last year though, I bought a set of those skinny forest trees on sale after Christmas and may stick them up. Easy!
bayhaysay Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I don't have a theme. Whatever ornaments the kids have made and all the others are just all thrown on the tree with some candy canes, ribbon, and lights.
Shortness Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I have a precious moments angel topper. My aunt bought me glass ornaments (variety), so I decorate with those. I really love some folk art santas and snowmen I have. I'd do the whole things that way if I had enough.
Steakgoddess Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 We have airplanes all over our tree... Dh would be ecstatic with that.
codeblue Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 The tree is mostly hallmark keepsake ornaments and everything else is snowmen.
fulfam Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 No theme here. We have white lights on the tree with ornaments from our childhoods, and some new for our children, I have made ones with their names on them. Then we hang all other ornaments and icicles on the tree with a snowman for a tree topper. The icicles are great I love how they glow, and they are just cheap ones I got at the dollar store.
rabx5 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 We have airplanes all over our tree...Cool- i would like to see that. I really don't have a theme either. 99% of my ornaments are hand made though. Every year growing up my mom would buy a special ornament for me and my sis. When we moved out, we got to take them-a nice start.Well, she did the same for my kids and now they each will have their own box of their ornies when they leave too. It's awesome because everytime we go to hang one up, one of the kids will say "remember that year? ect...." We started buying an ornie from when we vacation. Last year when we went to Epcot in Disney we bought one from each country in the World Showcase, and if they didn't have one, we bought a lil flag and just tuck them in the tree here and there. This year at Disney, I bought Mickey Mouse lights I will wrap them in my evergreen swags and hang them in the doorway. Geeze, I really had a lot to say about this-sorry. I just enjoy decorating for the holidays I guess
