Let’s have a look at your decorations (lights, trees and anything else) please.
I don’t have any up yet, just some holly.

I had such beautiful decorations that took me years to accumulate, then when my nan died I inherited hers which I’d always admired and were all from the 50s.
Lost them in a house move.
It really upsets me, I don’t mind the ones I have now but I feel such a doofus for losing them.
Anyway just the tree up this year so far but as it gets closer to Xmas I’ll buy some mistletoe and a fresh garland with berries and shit.
I like my Mexican lady though, and my suffragette
The Helen Dardik one has a couple of non-white faces in but a bit child like…

Ours is up. Here’s a really shit photo cos I can’t be cba to get up, turn the big light on and do it properly…
white dog under the tree is obviously in fashion this year
Just noticed yours - it’s the exact same one I think haha.
Got a whole bunch of these big paper snowflakes from Wilkinson this year (as well as the 80p version there is a larger £1 variant) and am very pleased with them - they fill up a huge space for very little money but fold down completely flat for storage and also no plastic (other than the packaging - wish they could put stuff like this in wax paper rather than cellophane). Would look especially good on a dark wall I think
I still don’t have any decorations up, it’s the latest I’ve been in many years.
I have a small fake tree at home, but the proper tree at my parents’ house doesn’t go up until the 23rd.
I posted a pic of the tree yesterday. We’ve also got fairy lights up in the window, round the bookcase and above a couple of doorways.
I thought I’d draw your attention to a couple of decorations on our tree. There was a time when everything on our tree was neatly arranged and properly coordinated. This isn’t the time any more! Nevertheless I quite like the hotchpotch. Favourites include:
The Santa and angel that my sister-in-law brought back from Uganda
A cardboard tube angel (probably something that one of them brought back from nursery one year but I can’t remember)
And a “boingy Santa” which we won in a game called The Present Game. It’s seen better days but I think it’s kind of quaint
These are my two favourites…got the polar bear at a craft fair yesterday and the snowboarding bear is from our honeymoon in Canada. We picked up a tree ornament in each place we visited and this is from Whistler.
big fan of the snowboarding bear
