I’ve just decorated a plain fresh wreath and hung it on the front door, and…

Yes, takes ages for my DH to notice any changes in and around the house or garden.
If I buy something new to wear he will say onabout the 3rd or 4th time of wearing ‘Oh, is that new ?’
Please before anyone says that I’m luck y still have him, I know. I’m just stating a fact.

Lovely table wreath.

No.

My husband is, by occupation and personality, very observant. He's quick to notice and comment anything different to normal.

Here's my Advent decoration. I found the plate in the box and thought I'd use it for a centrepiece. As I've said before, I'm totally cack- handed so it doesn't bear looking at too closely.

My Advent wreath for the dining room table is slightly better.

I roped mine in as I made a rather ambitious door-hanging. I always make one with fairy lights and the cable goes over the top of the door and the switch is on the inside. He is the one who usually switches it off on his way up to bed.

He has never not noticed it. But there are other things he doesn't notice, so I do sympathise.

Orlin is the same, just as well he’s not a fruit machine the time it takes for the penny to drop.

Well MrA would notice eventually - possibly about the same time as we were taking the decorations down 😁 He would comment when he saw it, though. I once changed all the pictures around in the house and it was 6 months before he noticed his favourite picture had moved.

I'm avoiding Christmas for now ,my OH on the other hand was out yesterday hanging thousands of lights on the front of the house and draped over trees and bushes .
When he'd finished he went into the attic and brought down loads of Christmas stuff .Though he swears he left a lot up there .We now have lights and decorations including a tree in the living room ,but in almost every window and most surfaces throughout the house.Including the kitchen and bathrooms.
He has actually made a very good job of it ,its the first time he's done it in 49 Christmases .

My DH just embraces what I do decoration wise different upbringing religion etc. He is happy to go along with what I want so it pleases the GC and me the biggest kid of all!

Sounds familiar!!

No, mine not only notices but would take over if I let him is actively involved in Christmas preparations.

Oh yes exactly the same here!

Yup!

Exactly the same here witzend!
