I can't wait to see what you guys are doing! W is in the Christmas spirit big time this year and he's got me excited.
It's my MIL's last year in this house so she is doing the decor one last time. I'm sure the tree will be massive and gorgeous once it's up (I think next week sometime). After this Christmas I am going to buy a ton of clearance decorations for next year. I'm really super excited to run shit.

We have zero decorations up but I’ll be back! Our neighborhood is crazy about outside lights so we succumbed to peer pressure and spent $200+ on lights yesterday. Nice work danib!

Ohhh I'm jealous of outside lights. Our house is semi-detached and really tall. Its super awkward and hard to try to put lights up so we don't bother. I hang a wreath on the door and put some ribbons/signs/etc around the door.

I’ll share a picture of the crazy over the top house in our neighborhood too. It’s insane.

We don't have any outlets outside so no lights or blow ups for us. M has requested a big wreath and red bow outside on her window, so we ordered a wreath last night. I need to find a bow. It may be cheaper for me to make one though.
We haven't finished putting up decorations in the house yet.

I still have all my Thanksgiving shit up right now. I'll switch everything out this weekend after DS2's party. We'll get our tree on Sunday. I used to be all about the outdoor lights for Christmas, but every year half the lights are dead and I spend hours trying to figure out which light needs replacing only to get frustrated and throw everything out and go buy all new ones. I was super bummed last year because we needed new twinkling icicle lights, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Only solid ones. I like cool white for outside and I just couldn't find what I was looking for. We'll likely only have the lights on the roof line and that's it. I got rid of all my reindeer a few years ago because 3/4 of them wouldn't light. waitwhat, I love the ornaments! I am for sure stealing that idea!

In my neighborhood, anyone with reindeers on their lawn can expect to wake up at least a few times during the season to find one reindeer has been moved and is mounting another.
This has been going on since I was in HS, and in fact I dated a guy who did this at the time. Seems the next generation has taken up the mantle of plastic reindeer porn.

Thankfully when I had reindeer no one ever made them do dirty things to each other!

I don't think we're going to be able to do much outside this year for logistics reasons. Our yard is mud right now so trying to get a ladder steady to do the roofline will be impossible. And no inflatables or anything cute because again it'll just get covered in mud. I'm planning to at least do a wreath and maybe something cute on the porch and in the windows. I just don't want our new neighbors to think we're grinches.

For wreaths, we always get ours from Costco. They are big and pretty and only like $20. Or maybe $25, I can't remember. But they're a really great price for the size. The ones at my grocery store are $25 for the small ones.

Thanks to my back we didn't finish decorating yet, everything is in a half done state. Hoping to fimish this weekend and I'll for sure share my pics once we do.
Loving everyone else's decorations. So many great ideas.

This happens in every neighborhood, no? Last year I had to tell M that they were giving each other piggy back rides.

The boy across the street from me growing up used to do that to his own reindeer because his mom would come out for work every morning and lose her mind. It was hilarious.

I’ll be back. I have some more garland to do.
I think I need to do some ornaments in the windows now! And immediately start calling my sunroom the morning room.
