Kanyon71 Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 So let’s see everyone’s Christmas decoration inside and out. We only have the inside mostly done. Had out of town guests all last week and then it got cold so we didn’t get to the outside yet. Will probably do that this Saturday.
wittenlover Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 I'm not done yet (looking forward to the expected warmup tomorrow here in SE MI) but I have my new inflatable Rudolph up in my front yard, along with my Peanuts ice skating path lights along my sidewalk. Still have multiple outdoor items to go up (wreaths/ribbon/lights) and need to get my tree and Christmas window clings up inside. Will post pics of my progress tomorrow 1
wittenlover Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 As promised… Just my tree to go as far as decorations to go up. Maybe some lights around the front windows inside… Otherwise, pretty happy with how this turned out for my first Christmas in my house. 4 3

bluebear Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 We had nice weather Thanksgiving weekend, so we got the outside all done. I'm glad, because this weekend is yucky! Our porch geese are Henry and Liza. 2 3

wittenlover Posted December 2, 2023 Posted December 2, 2023 Tree’s up! Will decorate it either later tonight or tomorrow. 1 1

We have 3 tress right now (well 5 but two are tiny and in bedrooms). Inside is mostly decorated. We just about finished it today so tomorrow will be outside. I just the coach lights red and green and the big outdoor ribbons on the 3 garage ones. Tomorrow I need to get all the lights out and the inflatables all up.
Hubbalance Posted December 3, 2023 Posted December 3, 2023 Going away for Thanksgiving took us out of our routine! We are slowly decorating the tree, inside and outside too.
Kanyon71 Posted December 3, 2023 Author Posted December 3, 2023 I do t have any pictures yet. Outside is mostly done though. We need a couple more sets of net lights, something to go on the porch (would like to find some of those holiday light posts but they are so expensive) and one more inflatable (wife loves those things). I also would like to find a few big outdoor wreaths to put around the lights on the garage but bows may just do. 1

My friends have FOUR 20ft tall inflatables in their yard this year. They get a lot of attention for sure!

Bopeep Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) I shared by bathroom in this thread: Here is the rest of the living room/kitchen Got a new tree for the living room this year, but I still love my old tree, so I put it up in my office: I don't do much outside, but I did a little on the porch. And this Santa Claus, my mama made when I first bought my home almost 25 years ago. He's long since lost the metal pole that stands him in the yard, but he still looks good for his age Edited December 4, 2023 by Bopeep resized photos 6
rwking75 Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Here is our "Grinchmas Tree" and as I posted on a previous thread, my Lego Xmas decor 2 5

Do you rebuild your Lego pieces every year? Or did you do them once and then put them away completed?

rwking75 Posted December 6, 2023 Posted December 6, 2023 For the Home Alone house, we separate the levels into large storage bags. There are 5 separate sections which includes the "basement/Kitchen" that's in the back of the house and the Treehouse and Van. There is always some breakage but usually easy to fix. The Xmas Tree easily comes apart in 2 pieces. Most of the brickheads stay in 1 piece. The "Santa's Visit" blue house is new to us this year and it is NOT in sections. This will be a challenge to store without it being a total disaster next Xmas. 1

This will be a challenge to store without it being a total disaster next Xmas. I wrapped the Santa House in several layers of paper and taped it tightly. I removed the tree and maybe the top of the chimney. I then set it inside a box, and put that in a tote. It is very oddly shaped, so it's a challenge for sure. The only thing I think I had to repair was the center floor and dining table section. Just snapped right back.
