Poll: Christmas

1. Real or Fake Tree This year we are going real.
2. Colored or White lights on Tree White lights
3. Colored or White lights on house We aren't doing lights this year.... too much going on with the move and kiddo, but I'm a white light, big bulb on edge of lawn type of girl.
4. Blow up lawn characters? Nope. They look so sad during the day.
5. Wreath on front door? Yes. But this year we have double front doors and we need two wreaths. We only have one. And we'll never find a matching one. So I centered it all ghetto style. Must get two wreaths for next year.
6. Other decorations outside? Red bow on the mailbox. A snowman and santa skating in the lawn.

1 real
2 white
3 white
4 not a chance
5 of course, with a red bow
6 a little fake tree in an urn I bought when we were renting that has white lights and pine cones in it. I might pick iPhone a few poinsettias.

1. Real or Fake Tree-
Artifical. I've went with this the past few years because its much easier with little ones. Plus I'll admit that I love not having needles to sweep up constantly. And I don't have to worry about watering it, which I am terrible at. I'll return to real ones when the kids are a little older and can appreciate it more.

2. Colored or White lights on Tree-
On our big tree, white only. No exceptions. We do have a smaller kids tree, that has colored lights, tinsely garland and all the keepsake and homemade ornaments that Beckett is free to decorate however he wishes.

3. Colored or White lights on house-
White on the house. Then the trunks of 2 tall palms flanking our driveway get wrapped in either all red on one or all green on the other, or both all in white.

4. Blow up lawn characters? God, no. In the daytime, it looks like someone threw an armload of dirty laundry in their front yard.

5. Wreath on front door? For some reason, I haven't had one the past few years. I'd like one this year.

6. Other decorations outside? I prefer to do most of my decorating inside and keep the outside simple. My neighbors have a pretty elaborate set up next door(including a carousel, moving woodland animals and lights set to music) that keeps Beckett happy with out my having to actually put stuff in mine.

Tasha how convenient to have neighbors like that! Amelia loves looking at lights so that would be awesome to have next door, and such a money saver.

So tonight I looked at lights driving home and there weren't too many with colored lights that were done tastefully. I think this is a new challenge for me.

I'm also the only one on this board doing colored on my tree this year. It's mostly because I'm afraid to pit my bulbs and ornaments on because they are all Waterford and I don't want to lose them. Maybe I'll buy some cheap ones for the next couple of years.

1. Real or Fake Tree "Permanent." (My dad used to sell them a million years ago, and was taught to say permanent instead of artificial or fake, so that's our word of choice!)
2. Colored or White lights on Tree Colored
3. Colored or White lights on house I don't have a house to decorate, but if I did it would be white lights with red bows and wreaths on the windows.
4. Blow up lawn characters? Not a chance.
5. Wreath on front door?Absolutely
6. Other decorations outside? Only what I mentioned above!

1. Real or Fake Tree real
2. Colored or White lights on Tree Colored
3. Colored or White lights on house Colored
4. Blow up lawn characters? Not anymore. My dad bought DD a blow up snowman when she was little and it finally died last year. She was mad that I didn't replace it. She has already told her Papa that she needs another one, so I'm sure a snowman will be back soon. :/
5. Wreath on front door? Yes
6. Other decorations outside? Just lights.
