Anyone put up their christmas decorations yet? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Des....it all looks beautiful....can't wait to see more!

We never put ours up until the weekend after Thanksgiving and then we keep it out until the week of or after New Years Day.

We "cruised" around about two weeks ago in our 68 Camaro and seen TONS of houses that already had their lights up and even their trees up and lit! Wow! That's early........they must have taken down their Halloween stuff and then put up their Christmas stuff right then!!!

I really only decorate outside with lights, inside is basically the tree and then some minor table things. I won't put anything up till Thanksgiving weekend, though.

Jodie......just noticed your website! That is excellent! I just loved the nightie that you posted about earlier......so cute!!!!

We put our new Mickey Mouse wreaths on the front doors so far but after this weekend we will be all Christmas ready! BY the way I love the kitchen decorating idea And I love your kitchen!!!

That's lovely, I can see why it is your favorite room.

I left my christmas tree up all year, it's in a corner downstairs. Last weekend my grand daughter was over and she loves to help decorate, so we strung lights all around the main room downstairs.

Your pictures have given me some other ideas also.

thank for sharing.

Your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL Des! I'm not sure how much decorating we'll do at our house this year. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures of your house.

Am having guests starting 11/18 and am hosting this year's thanksgiving.

Anyway, thought I might share a section of my favorite room in the house that has some decorations put up. . . . the photos aren't as clear as I wanted it to be but everything hanging from the wreath are all fruits and vegetables from Old World Christmas (anyone familiar with this company?) that I have collected . . . I continue to get more each year as they make new ones. The warehouse is located here in Spokane so I am so lucky to get it at warehouse prices . . . I will try to get a close-up shot for better viewing as these didn't come out as clear . . and will also share more pictures when I am done with my tree.

Anyway, I would love to see pictures of everyone else's christmas decorations . . . .

Decorating?!?! When your kitchen looks like that?!?! I can't imagine what the rest of your house and decorations look like!!! GOREGOUS!!! I say to heck with decorating this year and head over to your house and take pointers for next year!!!

I would love to have you and Sissy over . . . that would really be quite special . . .and you and I can sew side by side while our babies play

Wow Des your kitchen is gorgeous! My Husband said he is going to get into our basement and start putting our Christmas Decorations up. I love putting our tree up. I have alot of handmade ornaments my Daughter and Son have made and ornaments with our yorkies pictures on them.

BubblPopElectrc · 11-15-2006, 08:57 AM

That looks so good.. I was thinking about doing something similar except I am trying not to put up to much since I won't be for most of December.

I love Old World Christmas ornaments. Do you have the yorkie one?

prncssleah · 11-15-2006, 09:06 AM

You're kitchen looks beautiful!

I would start decorating Nov 1 if my hubby would let me, but he's the kind that doesn't like his Christmas spirit to start until the day after Thanksgiving. But I like being decorated for the holidays if people come over for Thanksgiving. Anyway, we just closed on our new house in Canton, OH today and the movers will be here tomorrow! I can't wait! My Christmas decorations will go straight from the truck to being put up on the house. It'll be nice to have them as a filler for my lack of general decorations for a couple of months too

OMG, do they have one? I have not gone to the warehouse this year . . .if they do I am going to get one. Do you have it??????

OMG you should come visit me as the warehouse sells all their OWC really inexpensive compared to the store . . .I have a cousin from MD that asks me to buy every year a couple of boxes at least because she knows what they're worth if she went to a store like Saks Fifth
