Hi everyone. I start my Christmas decorating in early November because it takes me so long to get everything done. I was wondering what kinds of things you do to decorate. I realize that some of you don't celebrate Christmas but maybe you celebrate another holiday this season. I'll start.
I collect Santas. I don't know how many I have but there must be around 300, not including tree ornaments. Here are some of the Santas on the built ins in our great room:
I also put up 4 trees because I've been collecting ornaments since I was a young girl. That's about 40 years of ornaments. I have an small alpine tree that is decorated with apples, birds, terra cotta and straw ornaments. In our dining room is a 9.5 ft. tree that is completely decorated in Santas. We have a regular tree on the sun porch that looks out over the water that are the good ornaments and ones I collect when we travel. The last tree is in our bedroom and it is all the ornaments that the kids made and got when they were little - like the ones from McDonalds, pinecones with glitter, etc. I can't bear to get rid of them. Here is the Santa tree:
I really hope I did this right and that the photos show up. I'd really like to hear about your own holiday decorations.
