Last night I put up the start of our Christmas lights. I put them around the front deck railings, on the trellis ornaments and in various bushes. The main colour is blue but I added pink and purple last year and while they aren’t Christmas colours, they are beautiful soothing colours that I don’t get sick of. They won’t get turned on until the end of November/ beginning of December. I just get them up now before we have too much snow.
My greenhouse gets decorated in pink and purple also but I won’t show any pictures until it’s closer to the Christmas season. The snowfall really makes a difference.
We have an artificial tree we put up each year that has ornaments that I’ve saved for 40 some odd years. Many of them are handmade from dear friends. There are many handcarved ornaments since we are both woodcarvers and have woodcarving friends.
Then I have some cool looking Christmas props I use to make beautiful displays from. I’ve got a silver sleigh that I add comes, berries and evergreen to. They smell heavenly and look so festive.
Closer to Christmas I go all out and make dozens of cookies and sometimes a gingerbread house which I decorate.
I LOVE the season. I love the lights, the food, the candy, the songs and everything about it. Since I don’t have a huge family we never had any huge family obligations. My parents winterized in the States every year, Christmas inclusive so our Christmases are beautifully quiet but that’s why I like them.
Note: I’ll post pics closer to the season.
Great thread.
