We have a memory tree, no color theme. White lights though. Husband prefers it.

The few cards we sent have gone out.

Sort of, yeah on the party. We are having a small open house/poker game/shindig in a couple weeks.

We have red and white lights on our tree but ornaments are mostly hallmark of mine growing up and now the kids' yearly pics too. I like it that way as most have a memory attached. Some day I'll have a themed fancy and this one but I only have room for one so crazy varied tree it is.

Cards go out tomorrow... Or at least by the end of the week.

No party hosting. I'll be lucky to get myself to all our regular and christmas obligations - no need to add extra chaos and cleaning.

We used to have the tree in our front room be our fancy tree. White lights and ornaments were blue, metallics, and glass / Crystal. Then our second tree in the family room was a white tree with colored lights and all the other ornaments. But now our family room is too crowded for a tree so alllll the things go on the big tree in the fancy room.

I mailed cards on Black Friday. I was feeling productive that week.

We host my moms family on Christmas Eve. It's only like 10 people. We do appetizers and desserts, not a big meal. Pretty laid back.

Our tree has white lights. It has some country/rustic ornaments mixed with Emma's hallmark and gifted ornaments.

I have not sent Christmas cards I should probably order some and send them out by the end of the week.

I am not having any holiday parties nor have we really been invited to any. We go to a family friends house for a party every year on Christmas eve.

Here's both sides of our card. Ran out of envelopes so I guess they aren't a going out tomorrow. Fail on my part.

I'm just going to take this opportunity to AW a pic of my tree, cause I think it's pretty (nevermind the baby gate) and our fireplace and stockings, full of st Nick loot, because even though it's nothing special, why not.

I'm changing up decorations next year. Right now it is bright reds and greens and very playful. I'm looking to get a little more traditional and elegant. We are possibly moving into our house being built dec 22 . We are in dh's grandmas house. Great house but we are living out of boxes and it's been a little nuts. I got out as much decor as I could.
My cards are ready at walgreens and I'm picking up tomorrow.
I always host our friends holiday get together. We are doing it mid January so I have time to get moved in.

Our tree has white lights but red and green is the main theme. Although we have so many orniments. Especially hand made ones that any theme flew out the window years ago.

Most of our Christmas cards are sent out. Still waiting on a few addresses.

Not hosting address party but going to one next weekend.

Our tree has colored lights this year, which was not my wish. I prefer white lights but DH and DS1 mostly did the tree this year. All random ornaments on it, no theme. Big, pretty gold bow on top.

Christmas cards went out 12/1. I still have a few left for addresses I'm still waiting on for people. Also didn't have quite enough cards for people I wanted to send to so I'm waiting on a few to see if they send us cards. If they don't send, I won't. I should have ordered more but I miscounted :-/

I don't host any parties or anything. Some friends and I talked about a cookie exchange, but there are too many of us that are moving and we couldn't get it together fast enough. 2 of my fellow navy friends get packed out next week. 2 others leave early January. I'm so bummed
