How do you decorate for Christmas? Do you decorate both inside and outside? If so do you decorate with yard art or lights?

We decorate inside with the 35 Nativity scenes we've collected--banana leaf figures from Kenya, hand-molded figures from Guatemala, and several from Mexico. We also have a big tree with ornaments from the past and the present, and garland on the mantle. Candles in the windows and garland on the front fences with big red bows are the outside decorations, although the candles are inside and just show outside.
We dearly love Christmas time, and enjoy decorating the house. I even put a swag and big red bow on the barn gate!

Just a tree indoors.

Here's my outside lights a few weeks back when we had a thick fog.

We only decorated the Christmas tree and put two lights up on the inside of our front window. Throughout the house, we have Christmas knick knacks displayed too.

my family does xmas decorations mostly indoors, with everything from the traditional tree and lights to xmas paintings, sculptures, dolls, and more! The house honestly looks like xmas threw up on it, but it is very very festive as well!

I hate Christmas decorations, but we had to invite a few people for a Christmas dinner, so I bought four transparent glass baubles. I'll also light some candles.
We won't have a Christmas tree.

We decorate inside and outside for Christmas. I absolutely love decorating for Christmas and love to see a neighborhood lit up with outdoor lights. One of my cockatiels thinks it is just great flying to the top of my 12 foot Christmas tree and then I can't get her down. I guess she feels like she is free and in the wild!

I did the decorations of our house for Christmas and although it's quite late since I started putting up the lights on December 12, it is still fully appreciated by the caroler. Our frontyard have colored LED lights hanging by the iron grill fence and there are also some lights in the bushes by the planter box. In the interior, we have the Christmas tree with elegant balls and trinkets plus the lights, of course.

My family doesn't celebrate Christmas, so we don't decorate at all. Next year I'll be spending the first Christmas with my husband in our home though, and since he does celebrate it I will definitely decorate :) We will get an artificial Christmas tree, our own decorations...

This time round I managed to make my own Christmas tree. I used led lights to decorate it. It is somehow cheaper than buying a Christmas tree from the stores.

We have lights in our yard, ornaments on a large tree, a wreath, some vintage wooden signs and also our tree is up. It's a little hard with a cat and a baby - the ornaments on our inside tree have ended up on the top of the tree and not the bottom as they have both been pulling those off! But yes - we like getting into the Christmas spirit and having our house looking and feeling festive!
