My Christmas tree is up and I've put the lights on it, but I have yet to decorate it! I will likely get that done tomorrow or the next day.
Most of my other decorations are already out though!

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
My big tree is up and so is my little one that has lights on it. Other than that we dont decorate just trees and thats it.

Next year I plan on making my own decorations and Christmas presents next year for the family members will be homemade snowflake decorations.

In the kitchen
DH spent Sunday afternoon outside working on putting up lights while I worked on the living room and the kitchen.

Then last night, we decorated both the living room tree and the Tacky White Tree in the kitchen. We're not putting the Santa tree up in the bedroom this year.

I only have a few more things to put in the living room and then it's finished.

They've been up for about a week; I usually wait until this week to do it, but I just felt as if I needed Christmas a little earlier this year.

Nope, no decorations here - the house is tastefully decorated with cat hair. Last time I put something up, Da Lip was still quite young and I never found anything except the basket it was sitting in until this summer....so nothing goes up.

We're not decorating much for Christmas this year. We did get a wreath that our Church was selling and put it on the front door and a few decorations up inside but we're not going all out and put our Christmas tree up.

We don't decorate out of a combination of not wanting the cats getting into stuff and laziness (might as well be honest, putting up and taking down lights outside is a pain). And honestly, we just go along with family - we're not Christian by any means... though then again, neither are my family.

We have a wreath at the front door and some lights with some garlands along the stairs where Jake can't reach and destroy

No tree though, I can totally imagine Jake going on one of his runs, where he basically goes in circles around the house at his maximum speed, and knocking down the whole tree...

I don't decorate much either, I just put a few things out like little porcelain things. I mostly visit others on the holidays so see no reason to go full out.

We put our Christmas village decorations in the window the day after Halloween each year. We put the tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving each year. This year the tree looks kinda stupid. It's only got lights from the top, to 1/2 way down. No garland, no ornaments, no candy canes. I don't trust Luna and Midnight their still to young.
