I do decorate my house a little for Christmas.
 |
| This tabletop fiberoptic tree is the only tree I put up every year. |
 |
| We have a light-up fireplace insert (We've not had the chimney swept, so we have never had a real fire in the fireplace. Besides, fire sort of scares me. I don't like burning candles either.) |
 |
| Because I don't put up a traditional looking tree, I like lit garlands. They make the house feel cozy. |
 |
| Kissing Ball (instead of mistletoe) |
 |
| The candle was a gift from my husband's brother who lives in Denmark. The wreath thingy surrounding the base of it came from my grandparents house. The moose in the snow globe, which was a gift from my parents, is wearing a wreath. The silver reindeer and berry tree are from Target. |
 |
| This is a pre-lit garland that I wired some ornaments onto. |
 |
| Would you expect anything other than a sparkly wreath on my front door? |
 |
| The gargoyles are wearing their Santa hats! |
A story about the fiberoptic tree: The first Christmas my husband and I spent together (9 years ago!), my family was traveling in Europe. I couldn't go with them because I was working in retail and of course couldn't take any time off around the holiday. So, my husband (then boyfriend) and I spent Christmas at his house, just the two of us. He's a guy, so he didn't have any holiday decorations, and I do like having something Christmas-y around on the actual day to make it feel more special than just a regular day. So, I secretly brought over my little fiberoptic tree and surprised him when I whipped it out of the box and put it up. We plugged it in and basked in its glow the rest of the day. It's a story he still likes to tell (as in "hey remember our first Christmas together when you brought over that tree?") every time I pull it out of the box.
Do you decorate for the holidays?
