Do you decorate for Christmas?

If so, how far do you go? Put a couple of things up or the whole house?
We do more for Christmas than other holidays for the sentimental reasons. We don’t do trees but do have ornaments, figurines, etc that we put up.

We often do. We haven't gotten around to it yet. It's been a busy month and we've both been pretty worn out lately.

Normally I would have put the tree up by now, however, I ended up rescuing a cat back in July. Now, I'm scared to put up a Christmas tree because I don't have a way to keep the cat away from the Christmas tree while my husband and I are away at work.

We put up a tree but we cover it with nature ornaments like bugs, mushrooms, and plants. We're big hikers and nature lovers so it's fun for us.

The teenager also puts a tree up in her room. She decorates it as most people do. She had a purple tree but grew out of it I guess.

We have a bunch of trees in the back yard, we might put battery-operated lights on a few of them even though no one is really going to see them.

We live pretty far out in the country and are surrounded by woods.

We have a tree up and some Christmas lights inside.

Yep the wife does we usually wind up with at least 2 trees and a lot of decorations

Have a big fancy tree with hundreds of ornaments on it. Other little things around the house too.

Yes, I do decorate for Christmas as I love how it feels during this time of year and how much it brightens up the dark nights. I have window lights and some gel stickers in my front window and I also have a Christmas tree decorated in my living room I put some tinsel around the fireplace, door frames, and also fake snow hanging from the fireplace. In the backroom, I again have window lights and stickers with some fake snow. Hanging ceiling decorations and tinsel around the door frames and we have a tree in there decorated as well.

some gel stickers in my front window

Same here, do you save them and re-use them or do you throw them away at the end of each season?

Usually, when I go to take them down they end up ripping in some way so I end up getting rid of them. Each year they cost me about £1 to replace so it's not always a bad thing to replace them each year. The ceiling decorations I do like to try and keep the if I can though for the following year but they just do not make them like they used to anymore.

Yes, decoration is a very big tradition for my family every Christmas.

I only decorate the inside or our home. I always wanted the outside decorated, but my husband doesn't like it. His aunt used to decorate for holidays and someone came and stole her decorations one night so he really won't allow us to decorate outside after that at all. So I do the inside and I like decorating one room fully and then we also have a stairway railing that I make really pretty.
