AW- show off your holiday decorations!!

Squirtgun · December 2016

I'm slowly getting into the Christmas spirit! We aren't huge decorators, but I love seeing what everyone does this time of year! What are the rest of you doing? Any beautiful menorahs? trees? Spectacular light displays? I'd love to see!!

Squirtgun · December 2016

My first ever attempt at making a fancy bow!

nda_roxybabe · December 2016

YES! Was hoping we'd get to do this

nda_roxybabe · December 2016

I do a new theme every year and this year is "Scandinavian" with the goal being lots of cozy whites and greys with bits of red fair isle and green. I don't feel I've quite achieved it, but I'm too lazy to put more effort in haha.

The tree:

The entry table (need to get new red ribbons for it and I hate the exposed cord. H will fix that):

My dad made the wooden nativity set and it is the only thing I have left of him. I have loved it ever since I was a little girl.

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

Fun!! We did ours early ish so I've gotten to enjoy them!

Plus us we did a wine and canvas kinda deal last week and I'm super happy with how it turned out! I'm SO not artistic so I was worried.

RainyDays86 · December 2016

@ShadeofGreen816 I love your living room! Can I be a weirdo and ask what the wall color is?

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

@RainyDays86 Thanks!! And not weird at all! However I can't take credit because they wall was painted that color when we moved in... if I think of it when I get home I'll peek at the paint cans we still have to see if they're there!

I suck and only have a half decorated tree (Toddlers

) but I have this gem on the refrigerator.

diann21 · December 2016

Okay guys, I don't want to brag, but check out this amazing decor*

*disclaimer: our house is under major construction. No room is being left untouched, with the exception of the master bedroom (which has become storage.) With such a big project, total chaos in my home, and minimal energy, I told husband I wouldn't do any decorating this year. Because he's so busy with the project he couldn't even put up our outdoor lights, so I surprised him this weekend and put out his nerdy Star Wars holiday figures. It makes me laugh.

hp_momma · December 2016

@chickyclg YES. My favorite part of Christmas decorations this year was pulling out our Santa picture from last year

chickyclg · December 2016

@h&pmomma something about the scared shitless of Santa look gets me every time. Where do I submit my application for MOTY,

hp_momma · December 2016

@chickyclg Hahah seriously. I mean this year she wasn't scared so they are both smiling. How bad is it that I want to leave last years picture up and never replace it?!

RainyDays86 · December 2016

@ShadeofGreen816 don't worry about it if it's a hassle. I'm just constantly looking for warm, neutral colors.

Butting in! We did our bedrooms in Sherwin Williams Dorian Grey and wish we'd done the whole house in it, it's so lovely. We did the main parts of our house in "Grayish" by SW because it looked like a nice cool grey, unfortunately it picked up a lot of blue in our home. We've grown to love it, but it's not quite what we'd hoped.

mamatowildones · December 2016

These look so great!!!! It's my favorite time of the year!!

BeachMommy2B · December 2016

Omg I love the horrified toddlers with santa!

here is our tree this year:

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot · December 2016

@diann21 But your cat really pulls the whole thing together.

rkstro2 · December 2016

love the crying children with Santa pics!!

@ShadeofGreen816 your painting turned out amazing! I love it!

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

@RainyDays86 don't worry I barely do anything that's a hassle these days! I'll peek tomorrow to see if I see it!!

pshaortao · December 2016

Our tree. We have tons of these colorful stuffed animal ornaments. She loved them last year so we got a bunch more on clearance. I can't wait til next year when we have stair rails and a mantel to decorate!

kns1988 · December 2016

@rkstro2, wow, how tall is your tree?! Love it and love the santa hat on top.

@pshaortao, I love the lighting of your picture. It looks like a sweet moment.

JonesBaby0624 · December 2016

I got my mantle done tonight but that's it. I need to change my old ugly clock but not until we get moved.

KMD1106 · December 2016

Here are a few crafts we did for decor this year. DD and I obviously did 2 out of 3.

sweaterboots · December 2016

I love retro + farmhouse décor!

rkstro2 · December 2016

@kns1988 thanks! We couldn't find anything that matched the majority of our ornaments for a topper so we went with the Santa hat. The tree is 12 ft. We had to get a bigger ladder to decorate it...not a lot of foresight went into buying it obviously

bacorrea · December 2016

I make wreaths, this is my Christmas wreath from last year.

*live wreath purchased from Lowes

chickyclg · December 2016

@bacorrea I totally thought your wreath was real!

Oh sorry, it is! I buy fresh ones from Lowes and decorate them every year for Christmas. Ha sorry it does seem that I said I made the whole wreath.

Here's some of our decorations. We have more that I'll try to post later

the mountain looking thing in the first picture is the back drop for Rudolph! Our tree always has a new theme each year and this year my mom decided to do ombré white to pink to blue since we are doing the reveal Christmas Eve

inomniaparatus2 · December 2016

Haven't taken any good pictures with the tree decorated. We waited a few days this year because a friend with her toddler came over. I love Christmas and I love all the lights and the garland. Makes me house feel so cozy. Tried a 12' long needle this year, will stick with a short needle fir. Hard to see the ornaments with them

nda_roxybabe · December 2016

@SWE2 Oh my gosh, I LOVE your house, its so my style. Are you in Texas? AZ houses (at least the ones in our price range annoy me. I like details and charm!). Your decorations are perfect too.

inomniaparatus2 · December 2016

@nda_roxybabe Thanks! I am very traditional with our house and the holidays. I live outside Chicago so not AZ. We have lots of snow and last night it was 4 degrees outside so very cold. ❄️
