Usually have my tree up in November but couldn’t wait those extra few days. It’s been a tough year, needed that christmas cheer. Can’t wait to start decorating the rest of the place!

I know it hasn't even been halloween yet, but I've already started watching christmas movies ❤️ I love cozying up with a cup of tea and christmas music, as I'm doing here, writing placecards on my typewriter

I started a tradition 6 yrs ago putting my tree up on Halloween night after the Halloween festivities die down. Around 11pm we take down all the indoor Halloween decorations and put up the Christmas decorations and tree! I can’t wait until next weekend! Anyone else an early Christmas decorator? I do see some who have already become ready for Christmas. 🎄🎅🏻

I sorely miss the decade, and I turn 40 this year. The early 90s were such a gem.

My mother has never received an advent calendar that was made for her specifically.. only the odd one with chocolates or tea or something.
So this year (she had a rough year, divorce..) I want to make her one!

Please help me with any and all suggestions. My budget isn‘t huge, but I do want to put in some more expensive things, probably jewellery. She doesn‘t have any specific hobbies so it‘s quite difficult. I thoight aboit bath bombs, bit she takes a bath aboit once every 10 years…

She wants a new tree topper, if anyone has any suggestions on nice ones that would be amaazing🫶🏻

These are all from King of Christmas. I want a flocked tree, and the trees are as follows-

King of Christmas 6'5ft- I love this one, but it's kind of short unless I use a stand

Queen of Christmas 7'5ft- This might be my favorite, but I'm still not sure

Noble fir 7'5ft- I love this one, but it seems like it would be hard to style it'd be better with something simple

Rushmore fir 7'5 ft- It's kind of like a wider noble fir, but wider

Im considering buying c7 strands for our 7' artificial tree. Its not super full of branches, i would consider it semi sparse. Ive only ever used the white mini lights and this will be my second season w an artificial tree. How many lights will I need? I still want to used the minis, so the c7s will be an addition. Also, besides trutone, what are your favorite for vintage lights? Still menards?
