| I did not decorate this year. I did not do any entertaining at home this year and the time just got away from me. I can't believe 2006 is almost over! I'd love to see how others decorated though! Teresa |

| Okay, Teresa--just for you, here are three--I have more, but don't want to overload you with pics. of our indoor decorations--I go nuts and do the whole house, including what we laughingly refer to as our "butler's pantry", since our remodel!!! Here's a day-shot of our tree:
Here's another one of a view of our family room before the "carnage" began:
And the night-time version:
Let me know if your "BORED"--I've got add'tl. to fill your time! LOL janice |

| Very nice! Looks like the tree barely fit. It looks like it's pressing against the ceiling. More photos please! |
|
| WONDERFUL!!! It looks like a Christmas Card. I also decorate the entire house. Will put some pictures together tomorrow. |
|
| Oh goody, McT--I'd love to see yours! Yes, Teresa, the tree just barely fits. We have always purchased cut trees till two years ago and the problem had been we could never find a fake tree that looks like what we'd buy "cut"! We'd always get one too tall and cut it back to touch the ceiling. Well, my solution was to buy a fake one two feet taller and cut it back, which we did. I have about two feet worth of unused brances bound together in the box and have to "work out" the placement minus the benefit of the color codes since I like to do "my own thing" in creating hopefully a real look. It seems to work but took me 2 1/2 hours to put it together and that didn't count lights (not prelit) or ornaments etc. Here are a few more of the "house" decorating efforts! Looking from kitchen eating area into dining area:
Looking toward front door and entry to family room, from kitchen eating area:
The little "cafe" table and chairs usually sit in an area of my "secret garden" outside amongst the hosta but in the winter serves as a place for two grand-boys to sit, at family feasts, while the "adults" sit at a larger table (not seen) to the left of them in this pic.! Molly, our Lab, has to be in all photos, as per her self-designated "job assignment" or nearly all of them, anyhow! LOL |

| aewsome janice.... and teresa....you are not the lone ranger....no decorations indoors here either.... jill |
|
| I accidentally posted my "Christmas Trees" on a separate thread. Here are some of the other decorations. I don't understand why some are turning out small and some too big. I will figure it out eventually I suppose.

| I enjoyed all the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to share. I'm sorry to say that all I put up this year were 2 trees, one upstairs one downstairs and the nativity inside. Out side we have 3 lighted wreaths. What a cutback from other years when the whole house was decorated. Connie |
|
| Oh my goodness!!!!! How wonderful "McT"!!! What a fun place to visit and I bet it takes you forever to get it all out and up and then packed away again. I don't know about you, but mine is staying up for a couple more weeks to make it more Hubby is taking some more pics. of our kitchen and "butler's pantry" and perhaps I'll get them Great to see the pics.!!!! More---anyone??? janice P.S. I also really love the out-door scenery, "Mc"--we didn't have any snow for Christmas this year!!! |
|
| Okay here are the results of hubby's fun with his new camera, tonight! The first is of our kitchen bay window:
Here's the same shot further back:
Then from the opposite side of the room, to the left of those views, the eat-in area:
There's a couple more shots he should have taken to get the "full picture", but I think |

|
| Actually, I do have an artificial "hosta" in our bedroom at the foot of a trunk where a Christmas tree is sitting! Let me see if it is viewable in the photo hubby took last night! Naw--not so well, and I don't know if it would count as "bric-a-brac", anyhow! Do you have any, ken?? :O)Where are your Christmas pics.? I think it's fun to see how we do other things, janice |
