Thank you and all our best wishes from Edmond too, my younger twin daughter´s French Bull ..

Truly a total Gentleman !!! They are visiting !!

We have bought a (pot grown) Christmas tree but it will stay in the garden until next Monday.

Ours don't go up earlier than the 18th, down before Twelfth Night. But it's lovely to look at other people's.

At last, got all the Christmassy bits up and the house looks festive and cosy.We don’t put anything outside as it would get nicked in about five seconds.

Put the lights up out the front - just lots of twinkling starry lights through the hedge and trees. It's quite mesmerizing watching them fading in and out. Like a starry, starry night right outside the window.

We noticed this morning that a reindeer that is up on someone's roof had lost his head in the recent winds. Quite sad, I should imagine it was a bit of work getting it up there.

Apparently my husband wanted a gorgeous stag, doe and fawn, covered in white lights. They were delivered to the garden today and set up. Very lovely - look as if they belong right here, sparkling!

Ikiesgranma thinking of you and wishing you a gentle Christmas Christmas making happy, lasting memories for your loved ones.

Lovely tree Wizend. I am getting mine tommorow.

Gdcs put the decorations and lametta on our tree on Friday.

Nope. I don’t usually put them up until just before Christmas & as I’ve just been in hospital, I can’t get the enthusiasm this year. All the Christmas decs are in the attic and may well stay there. I have to go for an op after Christmas and can’t bear the thought of coming home in February to find all the decs still up 🤣. I have a poinsettia and a mini Norwegian Santa on the dining table, that’ll have to do…..

All week our eldest granddaughter continued decorating our playroom - she's been 'making your playroom Christmassy' -- she's her own family reasons, we can and do oblige whatever is asked of us. (If not for her I'd rather we wait another week, this is way too early for me)

We’ve put the decorations up in the living room and hall but we’re away this weekend so we’ll do the garden when we get home. Two Christmas trees outside and and a polar bear, reindeer, snowman and a dog. Unfortunately this may be my last Christmas according to my oncologist so I want the decorations to be memorable for my grandchildren.

Just hung a wreath on the front door.

Nope up on 22nd down on the 29th

Has anyone got a solution for bird seed table swimming in rain water?

Part of your Christmas decorations?
Unusual!

Absolutely beautiful. My husband died over 9 years ago and since then I have not trimmed up the house or put up a tree because I go to one son on Christmas day one year and our other son the year after. They don't come to my house so there is no point in putting up a tree etc. Our home used to be like Fairyland from the day we married until my husband died (50 plus years together) and I no longer have the heart or the inclination to even want to think about Christmas.

I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a wonderful and healthy new year.

Just a tree in our house, which my daughter, granddaughter and grandson decorated on Thursday.

The tree is up in our living room, the outside lights were hung yesterday by DH. I've still got the hall and dining room to decorate, but we are halfway there.

Even if the original thread was made up - and l agree that the fireplace picture looks as if it is from a magazine as it is too "perfect" for the average home - it is still a nice, chatty thread.
