I am a big holiday decorator, it can honestly take me days to put everything out. I have a Christmas village, several wreaths, smaller decorative table top trees, stockings, wall hangings, etc. Some are homemade and some are store bought. All the store bought stuff is purchased at after-after Christmas sales, except for my annual Lennox snowman. I've been buying these every year for almost 18 years, except for a couple of years where I didn't have the money to splurge on a $30 ornament.
Once I bought a box of 50 giant blue and silver plastic ornaments for about $2. These I put everywhere. I will string them on a bannister, hook on a wreath, fill a basket with them (the cat will usually dive into the basket), or put on a tree.
Something about cut trees make me sneeze a lot, so as long as I've had my own place I've only had artificial. A few year ago I splurged to replace my old artificial tree with a 10.5 ft prelit christmas tree and love it. So easy to put together. When I first bought it, it was a lot larger than my other, so I had a tree trimming party and invited all my friends. Instead of asking people to bring a dish to share, I asked them to bring an ornament for the tree.
Years ago, I stopped buying special occasion wrapping paper. I now only buy solid colors and use ribbon and decorations dress it up for whatever occasion I am wrapping it for.
I can't wait to start decorating this year!
