so many of us will be thinking of decorating ion the next 3 weeks or so - so have any of you any tips to help the rest of us|?
What do you put on first, second, third etc Does your tree have a colour theme or is it multi coloured Do you decorate your main living room window (if so with what) Do you only have a tree or do you have garlands as well Do the garlands go corner to middle of room or from one wall to the other Any hanging decorations? Have you a favourite decoration? Are you traditionalist (same way every year ) or change the way every year OR Cant be bothered with the whole thing! |

Have you a favourite decoration? Are you traditionalist (same way every year ) or change the way every year OR Cant be bothered with the whole thing! I will just drape my rather lovely new ice-silver coloured tinsel around my pictures, and in one corner of the room I have just been given a giant 3 foot Santa (Wilko's for £30). In the opposite corner I have a new white twig tree,pre-lit and on a few branches I will hang baubles. On the shelving unit between my two sofas I will have a wooden snowman that has twenty white lights attached. Finally, my white tree. A six foot white tree that has snow on the branches too, and the colours will be white, blue and silver baubles with around 500 white and blue twinkling led lights. That's it! With icicle lights in the passageway (hallway) that will conclude my decorations! I don't have anything on the ceiling and I have hardly anything compared to a decade ago!. |

Well this thread gets more popular every year, this years has already reached 99 pages.
That's more than last years. It won't be long before it reaches for the 1st time in it's history 100 pages. ![]() Finally for now it is in my opinion a good idea for each year to have it's own separate Christmas countdown thread. |
