How all out do you go with holiday decorations?

[LAJ]

I swear half the houses on my street rival the Griswalds with their awesome (and gross) display of lights LOL...

Things are quite minimal here... putting up a tree tomorrow with lights and all for my kid, but that's as far as I care to go.

I have lights up on my house all the way across, and one bush lit up with lights. I also have a rain deer with a turning head, and a blow up Santa and Snowman. And some candy canes, and a chain of six snowman lights.

I think it's rather tacky myself, but my daugther loves it.

The key to it all is to build a collecetion. Every year go out and buy a few new things. Also, the time to buy is the week after Christmas when everything is dirt cheap.

this year we have a tree thats all for xmas decorations .

Going to put up some lights out the front of the house. Not too many, just a few. Im planning on visiting my parents so no tree inside myplace.

Has anyone ever put up a blowup plastic tree?

Christmas displays in our town is a big competition... everyone goes all out with lights.. alot of front yards have displays with large models of santas.. shrek... puss n boots... and all other type of characters and chrissy symbols.. brightens up the streets magically.....
but all i have so far are a few lights.........

I'm really low key for decorations... I got a couple strings of lights and threaded them through the bars on the railing around my loft.

That's it.

No tree or wreath or anything else.

Less to take down later.

I didn't put up a tree. I have a kitten. If the tree and/or the kitten would be in one piece by Christmas, when I'd return from a mini Christmas break, the tree and decorations wouldn't survive the kitten.

People seem pretty tame for the most part around here. When I visit my parents, it'll be different. Some of the neighbors probably have a $1,000 electric bill for the month of December.

I have lights on the front porch and then I have a tree up with lights and all the trimmings and that is it!

some places on our street have put up so many lights and reindeers etc it just looks like a stretch of the vegas strip!

I'll wear my colored socks...and a bow on the door. Thats all

This year I have done nothing, since my son isnt living at home anymore I decided to sit out the Christmas stuff at my house and go over to his instead.
