Christmas Decorations

Looks like my Christmas decorations are nearly done ^^;
Apart from the figma Christmas kits, I've done the lights in front of the house and all thats left is the tree inside the living room. Will try to do that today.
Does your household celebrate Christmas with decorations?

Not doing much this year except for a tree, due to it being too much of a pain in the ass. A tree is all I need to show off my christmas cheer.

When we live with hubs parents there was thus large tree we had to lug out from storage and decorate... kinda made me feel a bit sick of doing it lol Now we keep it minimal :) we found a tiny light thingie for a 2 dollar tree tho lol so other than that and some cards gotten from friends probably nothing fussy :)

I need to decorate my cubicle with some decorations! I think the family and I are going to put up Christmas lights and the tree tomorrow. Tonight, I'll start on Christmas cards so I can start sending them either tomorrow or next week...at least some time before finals.

Used to put them on for the store and such, but for the apartment/house is such a pain. They get all dirty so it's gross when you put them on or out; waste of electricity...
Kudos for people who celebrate for religious reasons, but as for the rest is just a marketing move to make you spend a lot of money (and make you look like an ass in front of your kids if you don't deliver).

Cute! =w='' Celebrate Christmas for sure. Not extreme with all the lights/mistletoe etc hung everywhere, but a simple christmas tree, ornaments, and lights make it a nice time to celebrate. =w=''

I usually decorate but there's been a few years I hadn't. I'd like to decorate my figure shelf/figures but I haven't had the chance to go to the print shop to get that free figma tree printed, wish the xmas clothes were available online by themselves in a package of some sort as well. thought about making clothes for them but I really suck at sewing especially things that small.

Hmm, those Figma hats look a bit too clunky and hard.
The cape is good though.

My family and I always got celebrate Christmas day. I do put up the tress and decorate it with beautiful ornaments. It's always nice to look at night when we switch on the lights around the tree.

Loving the Christmas get up on the girls... have a few minor decorations and a Christmas tree that's actually perfect size for figmas...

Seems everyone is noticing Saber Lily in the background. ^^
For my family, they usually put up all the decorations. By the time I actually notice, the decorations and the tree have already been done. They're so quick when they do it, and quiet too.

saber lily needs a santa hat too. ^^; finished decorating the house a while back. home must be festive for the baby. ^^ I suspect we will be decorating the house every year now for the next 15 years. ^^;

I used to decorate around the house with my sister. The tree felt like a hassle after a few years. It was big (6.5ft) and we had to stretch out the branches every year since it gets squashed in the box. This year, I went and bought a $2 tree at Daiso and decorated that instead. It's small (less than 2ft) but hey, it's just about the holiday spirit. :P

I helped put up tree number 1 yesterday, just need to put some finishing touches to the decorations. Then next weekend, when term finishes at university, we shall buy a real christmas tree (tree number 2) for the conservatory, then finally i need to decorate the mini tree (tree number 3) in my room. ^_^ I love christmas!

my family puts up a small tree since we usually go out anyway and spend time with more family but when i was really young i used to decorate and all that fun stuff last 5 years Christmas has been bland for me. small tree no presents. just money $100 from my mom $50 from my aunt and uncle, a hug from my sister, a card from my other uncle in prison, a Phone call from my cousin in Florida, $10 to $20 from the girls where i stay, after Family dinner i go home look at the small pre-decorated Christmas tree smile and go to sleep. sadly this year my sister moved far away i don't get my hug <.<

I see Santa dropped by Danny's house early this year. You must have been such a good boy! Saber Figma only, or did she come with the game too?
We usually put up our tannenbaum with accompanying decor early in November, and take it down late in January.

When I was younger I remember my family used to put up a large Christmas tree but the past years almost everyone seems to have switched to smaller synthetic trees with integrated lights, easier to store, set up and can be used for many years on end.
Here it's mostly just some lighting decorations, nothing excessive.

Me and my family just put up our Christmas tree. We don't bother with the other decorations since we think it's waste of time; putting it up then putting it back down after the season. This year, we also didn't put Christmas lights on our tree. It saves us electricity and we're pretty safe from Christmas light-related fires. Those things happen a lot here x_x

Yeah I remember something like that. A teenager died of a fire due to Christmas lights. She was a batchmate of a friend of mine.

That's so nice. Sadly, I wouldn't be able to get the santa figmas.
My family don't celebrate Christmas. But we treat it as a family occassion to get together. It's going towards end of the year and nothing better than celebrating with your family.

It's kind of a family tradition. Xmas on my mom's relatives, New Years Eve at my father's relatives.
I remember we did some decorations sometimes when I was a kid though.

My Dad always decorate the house with alfs (not the correct translation but the closet i can get without effort :)) everywhere, on the walls, from the ceilling and outside our house looks totally cool when its chrismas.

Help my family put decorations up. Personally I would just prefer one of those mini Xmas trees you can get in stores, LOL.

We don't do the outside, but we'll do the inside. Light fittings, door frames, picture frames, and other places are always done, and the table is given a Christmasey place setting, but the centrepiece is always the tree.
This year sees a major revision in proceedings. A new colour scheme is being applied housewide, and the tree is in a new location. I'm about 45% through the build - I might throw some pics up on my blog when I'm done.

At my parent's house, we put up 1 big tree (with all of the lights and ornaments), lights in the windows, lights outside, and some decorations around the house like candles and Christmas-y figurines. We have a smaller tree that we put up in the basement, since we spend most of our time down there (watching movies, family computer).
At my apartment, I do almost the same thing, but with a much smaller tree. All of my ornaments look like candy or they are from Star Wars. All of the lights really make it feel like Christmas

Awesome decorations, I only have some lights:P

I don't really care about christmas either (not in a bad way) nor do I feel the same way as most people when I hear "it's xmas!". Saying that, there's no decoration around my house except the gundams in my room xD.
