My dad makes us all outdoor wreaths which I will be taking mine back home this weekend and putting it outside my front door. I have a few decorations I hang inside my house and I clear off my dining table and cover that with all different decorations. At work we decorate a lot, I will have three Christmas trees and a wreath in all the front windows and last year they bought a six foot wreath and hung it at the peak of the building. I'm hoping that they don't do that again or at least don't ask me to hang it!

Ours are up as well both in the front and backyard. We like the one's in the backyard best because we can see them from inside:

I put a few lights on our new Colorado Blue Spruce and that is about it. Monday we start decorating work. That includes 8 - 60" wreaths 20' in the air, a 12' tree and countless feet of pine roping. I am sure glad I just supervise!

Don't you just love tree lights from China. Tossed out 5 strings today. At $5/set it isn't worth trying to change the bulbs. If someone has found some that last over a couple years, let me know. Wife usually buys GE but I don't think they are any better than any other.

That's what I thought too....but I didn't "Plug-it-In"... The lights are on their own separate 20amp circuits..( two of them )
We like to see our meter spin as in 6th gear overdrive ...

I put lights on my eves for the first time last year, after living alone in my house for 7 years. I'll most likely put them on again along with some outdoor ornaments on my fascia boards.
