After being up at the cabin for 4 days  and decorating it for Christmas I was wondering how you all decorate for the holiday? Do you go all out, or is it just simple and cozy? Do you have a real tree or do you have a fake one?
I have a fake tree at the cabin, it is pretty and fit up there real well. I have orniments on there that are all animals like deer,bears,moose,chipmunks, anything you find in the woods. Plus a bunch of bulbs that range from 50+ years old to some that I bought from the dollar store. I have candy canes and garland on it ( I love the tinsel, the stringy stuff that takes forever to put on but that is not pet friendly lol) Then I have stockings hung up and of course I have a santa hat on the deer mount lol. I just got some little stockings (for the kittys) and hung those up on the electric stove. I have a few pics. that I took and I will post them in a bit.
I would love to know how you all decorate.

We put a tree up here. It's an artificial tree, and all of our ornaments are very old. The same stuff we put on when I was little.
My favorite is our poinsetta (I can't spell) lights..They're red lights, with fabric flowers. They are very pretty.

We are headed up to cut our tree this weekend...we usually get a 12 ft tree or so. We are investing in new lights this year..those new lower energy LED lights. We, too, have a wide array of ornaments.
I also make a home-made wreath with the trimming branches from the tree.

Puddl- how pretty!! I love real trees, but I can't have one because of allergies and asthma!
We have a fake one- ought to be real for the cost  decorate it with old bulbs, some over 80 years old, and new ones too.
When the boys were young, I decorated the whole house inside and out. I probably have 15 boxes of Christmas deco in the attic-quit doing alot of decorating after sons got grown- but love Christmas!!..karen
