Christmas Decor 2024 (Have we done this yet?)

I forgot to share outside. This is more of a low key year for my decorations, not that I've ever done anything remotely big enough to win the neighborhood contests. I lost several pieces in the last year due to age, but I still love looking up my block and seeing my lights. We live at the entrance to a really festive cul de sac, so it's about 10 houses altogether that are lit up.

Love the handprint ornament! I'm suddenly sad that my kids never did these.

Santa collection (or rather half of it - last year I finally split some of the decorations into "odd year" and "even year" bins because it was just too much) -



And on shelves near the tree, nutcrackers & misc. stuff and a nativity set we bought when we had our first apartment (plus angels people gave us later) -



(These aren't everything, but easy stuff to grab of pic of right now.)

Aww, thanks! - We actually made those for the grandparents one year.

I tried to watch your video, but it wouldn't load. Will try later on a different device.

Possibly the device. I am able to see it on my computer and phone, but it wouldn't be the first time that tech didn't want to play nice.

When does everyone take down their decorations/tree?

usually within days of new years. this year likely the following weekend. that said-i have about 7 battery operated electric candles that are on timers. they are placed around the living room during the holidays and I leave them all in place until their batteries die out (tends to last a few months). I like the warm glow during the winter months and the side benefit is I don't have to wonder which ones need new batteries when I put them back out the following holiday season.

OK, it's driving me nuts...I just noticed that my bar scene picture is before we decorated those two trees. I was supposed to share what it looked like after tree trimming night.




Not really a big deal, but it was bugging me!

This is the "junior varsity" village on my work form home desk. Dollar Tree + battery powered lights.

I Love Dollar Tree!

We have a large glass front to our house so our indoor lights double up as external lights, from a lit up tree to stars etc.
