Last week I asked how you decorate for Christmas. My wife and I decorated for Christmas this year for the first time in a very long time, and we were excited to have the chance to do it again. Some people decide to decorate a little, others go over the top, and a lot of folks fall in between. So I asked … how do you decorate?
I received several emails from readers, and comments on the blog – thanks for sending your pictures along! Here are some of the highlights:
- Jason wrote … "Well
I didn't get around to it this year because I just didn't have time,
but I usually put up any where from 20,000 to 30,000 lights on my
parents house. I have all the parts to make it a computer controlled display, just
have to find time to solder and wire up the controllers and sync it all
to music. I plan on having it all ready to go for next Christmas though." Wow. 30000 lights? That's Griswald. Katy wrote … "We used to move constantly, so I
painted my own Christmas ornaments on circles of heavy watercolor
paper. All my decorations fit in one little margerine tub. We're still
using them even though our nomadic lifestyle ended when I retired and
we moved to Radford, the beautiful New River City!"- Darla sent some pictures from her daughter's home in New Jersey:

I know, the tree is pointing the wrong way. I promise … it's still upright. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
