I don't have any pics to show because I'm a scrooge who doesn't decorate but I'd love to see how you've transformed your house!

We aren't decorating this year either. We are going to my step-daughter's for Christmas so why bother with a tree?

That's how I feel. My mom always sends me ornaments and one year a table top tree but I live alone what am I supposed to decorate for myself? I'd just have to get out all the decorations put them out and then take them down again a couple weeks later  ::)  that's a lot of work for no one else to enjoy.

Did it go along the lines of, "Kwanzaa isn't a real holiday"? ::)

Our gimpy little tree.  We are poor and bought a tiny one, and yes, it is standing on our ottoman.  And yes, the stocking with the paw print on it is for the dog. :D  I'll take a picture of the wreath hanging on my door tomorrow.  It is awesome and colorful and I love it, but I think I'm taking down all the decorations on Friday since we won't be here for Christmas.

lol.... the blue ones are actually in honor of fallen police officers.  The blue light project was started a number of years ago and every year we put up blue lights like many other agencies across the US to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the line of duty....

We wanted to put lights on the outside of our house this year, but we realized that we don't have a ladder big enough!  We really didn't want to go out and buy one.  Maybe next year.

more like a keg of it!  Know where I can get some!

sometimes its my fault too I have to say... once she brought cups to a department meeting and she got these animal cups because she thought they were cute.... I have a problem with 3 letters appearing repeatedly in the same phrase....I feel like people are totally ignorant if they do it on purpose or they do it on purpose because they intend to offend... now I reallize this is totally petty on my part but it really does bug me...

so any way she brought in Krazy Kritter Kups. I went off....

The funny thing is, I used to decorate every year when I lived alone. But with Carlos, we may get a tree every so many years-depending if we are going to be home or not. I think I am going to put in a request to have Christmas here next year.

I think it was the first year Carlos & I spent together (I don't know if I was living with him or not-I don't think so), he went out into the woods and cut down a small tree that was along the road. It looked like a Charlie Brown tree with very few and sparse branches.  :D ;D ;D The funny thing was, the back didn't have any branches which was good-it could be put up against the windows. I wish I had a photo of it to show everyone. It was pretty funny.

a friend of my mom's got a hippo once for some reason and people saw it and thought she collected hippos. 

Suddenly every time there was an occasion for a gift she rec'd a hippo.

not only did she not collect hippos but, she was on the large side so she was actually offended every time someone gave her one

True story....  ;D

My mother in law bought us some salt and pepper shakers that she thought were two kissing pigs but turned out to be two kissing hippos.  We keep them out anyway - they're really cute.

Noooo, don't take em down yet... :\'(

Well, I just want to say you've got a nice tree there. We just got our tree last night and it was $10! Cheapest Christmas tree in town! It was so cheap they didn't even want to keep it in the lot, so they stuck it out near the gas station where they had light up fake trees. Poor thing, how could we resist not getting it when it was shunned from the rest of the trees :0(

I have it all decorated and we've got it in a pot and it's well love :0)  :)

Oh, and I am loving the smell! :0)


Did it go along the lines of, "Kwanzaa isn't a real holiday"? ::)

Our gimpy little tree.  We are poor and bought a tiny one, and yes, it is standing on our ottoman.  And yes, the stocking with the paw print on it is for the dog. :D  I'll take a picture of the wreath hanging on my door tomorrow.  It is awesome and colorful and I love it, but I think I'm taking down all the decorations on Friday since we won't be here for Christmas.

Everyone has such beautiful pics and decorations.
We have put up our outside lights, and I have done the windows inside. The tree is also up, so here is a pic of it:

And the pic of the pj's and Grumpy Bear t-shirt my baby sister bought for me. Simone wanted in the pic too - then she went to sleep! ;D

yeah, but it looses a lot of meaning when you are told your job is to put it up and it seems like no one else really cares.  I know mom had shopping to do.

Could be, but I don't know what I'd do with it right now so it will have to go in my idea journal.  I have 27 ideas I'd like to make happen and I always seem to be getting more ideas.

I seem to be a constant thinker and have to do something with my ideas.  There are lots of times I am somewhere in a thread here and it will take me half an hour just to make a post because I'm constantly thinking.  When I asked BAD about recording he told me he never got so many questions at once.
