YAY DECORATING! (Holiday thread)

[KiaKat]

*nods*

I love the subtle decorating. Only external decorations I do is candles in the windows, and the inside decor tends to be on the restrained side - garland and lights over the large arch between kitchen and living room, tree, and maybe some Christmas candles on a couple tables, plus a bowl of cinnamon-scented pinecones on the sofa table. Though that usually ends up becoming a cat-nomming station.

This year I think I'll put the pinecones on the kitchen table and do a dried eucalyptus arrangement in the living room.

And *NEVER* any inflatables. EVER.

What I hate are those giant inflatable lawn things. And there is a house I pass on my way to work that's got 6 or 7 of them...but when I pass in the morning they are deflated and just laying on the grass. Last year there were 2 houses that I passed, which had 4 and 6 of them, respectively, and they both had them just laying out there until March.

If you weren't in NJ, I'd swear you lived right down the street from me. It's....mind boggling. I need to get a photo sometime. And they do it for Halloween and Thanksgiving too!

Oh, there's another house I pass that has two of the biggest ones I've seen...problem is, their "yard" is about 3 feet from the house to the sidewalk.

My parents' neighbors across the street have a jack-o-lantern and a turkey, and a Christmas one (snowglobe or something? Charlie Brown and Snoopy decorating the doghouse). At least they only put up the one, and they don't go overboard with the rest of the lights and stuff. There's a house near me that has the yard practically filled with lights and figurines and stuff. I swear people use Christmas as an excuse to see how much crap they can fit in their yard, regardless of how it looks. I've seen plenty of elaborate displays that are really impressive (though they make me glad I don't live across the street from them), but for the most part, I think that less is more when it comes to decorating.

And with that said, I'll leave this here.
