Elegant Christmas Tree Decor at Your House

Do you go all out with Christmas tree decor, gifts and activities at Xmas or keep it low key?

We do a tree and a few Christmas tree decors.I have this magnetic Christmas ball ornaments that DS loves this year.Each year we buy each other 2 hallmark ornaments that represent each other, and that is what is on the tree.

We do few gifts.For the past two years DS and I don't buy each other gifts and just spend the money on house projects or vacations.DS doesn't get much.This year I bought him a new wooden train set and some books.

I would say all out.We usually have 3 trees (all fake though) -- one pretty one with white lights and Christmas ball ornaments, one as tacky as DH wants with every colored light blinking like crazy and insane hodgepodge of ornaments topped by a schwa a friend made him in shop class in high school, and one in between with the ornaments that have special meaning.We also do a wreath and garland, and we spend way too much on gifts.

We aren't doing it this year but did it past years.I like to go all-out with Christmas tree decor because I can do it over time when I have time.The day of the party we keep it low-key and easy.Last year we got a honey baked ham, baked some cookies the night before, and got pre-made sides.We get gifts for all our family but we don't go overboard.I'd say withLO keep it easy the day of the partyand do the "all-out" stuff beforehand so you don't have pressure on Christmas Eve/Day.Have a great time!

We have a tree and some Christmas ball ornaments, but that's it. I love Christmas tree decor, but I have no domestic talents and I'm lazy.I'd like to say low key in terms of gifts, too, but alas, I just love buying presents!And now that I have a LO to buy for, well, it's just ridiculous.

All out with presents, low key with decorations. (Until next year)We are in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment, and are hoping to move this weekend, and that doesn't give a lot of time for Christmas tree decor.Next year will be all out decorations and (probably) low key presents.

But thats just my personality. I love to decorate and buy gifts. We have a big family tree and DD has her own mini tree. We also have wreaths, topiaries,and garland up.
