I'd love to hear how you decorate for the holidays, if different from the snowy areas.
I have teens and for the last 16 years we have gone to a local Christmas Tree Farm. We call it the annual Christmas Tree Hunt. It is always a good day when we get our tree.
If we did not have kids, I am not sure how much decorating I would do. I work such long hours that I do not really get to enjoy Christmas.
We decorate the living room and dining room. The tree has a blend of homemade and bought decorations. We use lots of lights in both rooms. Some years dh paints the huge living room window.
We have white lights up outside year round in a hug cherry tree in the middle of our front yard. DH starts to add the decorations (huge balls and ornaments) right after Halloween. I have met complete strangers who know our house for the Fairy Tree.
