My Christmas decorations probably fall into mainly “traditional” – I like white lights on the tree to not detract from the many ornaments (traditional, new, and some for the grandkids) but outside I want the multi-colored lights.
Our Christmas decor theme can be described as “memories,” as our decorations are heirloom pieces as well as those collected while our son was growing up. My mother-in-law was into the ceramics fad in the 1970s, so we have the large tree, a full nativity scene, Santa’s, stockings, candy trays, etc. my side of the family had the colorful glass bulbs. Every piece sparks memories!
I used to go all out and have some decorations In almost every room of the house – mostly traditional red and green with many snowmen mixed in so they could stay out through the winter. Every year gets more and more minimalist – just a few of my favorite things make it out of the storage room, and many have been donated to area shelters. I do still have a couple of “snow” themed pieces that make us smile from November thru March.
Lately, my Christmas decor has been little to none. My children live far away so, unless they are visiting, I keep it very simple. A tabletop pine-cone tree with lights and a few lighted houses do the trick. Just enough to keep the winter gloom away and welcoming cozy in the windows.
My Christmas decorations are like a book without the ending written yet. Every ornament celebrates major events in the lives of the family members. I have a beautiful white leather glove with babies breath and small red roses that was a gift when I was married from my mother-in-law that is always placed first in the front of the tree. I have one for each of my children and grandchildren, my son-in-law, when my daughter graduated high school. One for the year 2000, it’s a Scooby and Shaggy ornament to celebrate when we got our Great Dane. And another in 2010 to memorialize her when she passed. This year, my youngest daughter read a complete book for the first time in her life (she’s 14) and it was 377 pages! I ordered an ornament of a girl holding books and personalized it with Qaiti Sioux, 377 Page Killer, 2021.
I used “Killer” because it was a true crime book. My eldest daughter and her brood still come over every year to help put the story of our lives on the branches so we can reminisce and feel that amazing joyful connection of what Christmas means to us – Family.
The lights have to be white. The ornaments on the tree all have a meaning, whether they are from my childhood or my husband’s, our daughter’s childhood, and ones with special meaning of events that happened in our lives over the years. I inherited my mother-in-law’s snow village so that is also a focal point of our decorations.
I string lots of multi-colored lights on my Christmas tree and set them to do a set blink routine. It’s a long story why my tree looks like this now.
My husband and I have a different view on Christmas decorations! His are classically beautiful so we use those in the main level of our home. Mine are cheesy and I love them so they are in my basement craft room!! I love them all!
My Christmas decor is all about tradition so my colors are red, green & white lights. I used to decorate every room – I probably over-decorated but it was loads of fun at the time. But since we downsized I have pared it down to a minimalist look but it still looks cozy.
I like to decorate simply. I use a lot of snowflakes on my tree. They are so pretty and sparkly-though I don’t like driving in the real stuff!
We have very eclectic Christmas decorations. I have tried to set a theme each year and only put out those decorations but I usually give up because my husband wants to put up his favorites. We have many vintage ornaments from our parents and grandparents. We have many hallmark ornaments collected over the years. We have many craft projects that family members have made. The list goes on and on.
Thanks for offering this beautiful bundle as a give away! I decorate our tree with angels of all kinds. Lots are handmade and have been collected and gifted by friends over the years. I absolutely love delicately placing each angel on the tree and fondly remembering the angel tree trimming parties held over the years.
Wow thanks for allowing me to be thankful for the friends and family that have helped me acquire such treasured angels.
My children and I go all out on Christmas decorating! Love it! The day after Thanksgiving is the day of transformation. It all comes out and gets put up that day.
My Christmas decorations are elegant and opulent! I used to be s florist and I love decorating for the holidaze. My tree looks like an iridescent wonder with sparkling and twinkling lights and clear iridescent ornaments. Everything is decorated! I collect Nativity sets and they are also prominently featured. I love this stamp and die set because it reminds me of the exquisite ornaments of the past.
Our Christmas decorations are a mix of handmade and some purchased. My mother-in-law gave our children a handmade ornament for many years and those are joyfully hung on the tree every year.
Thanks for this beautiful giveaway Brian.
I love Christmas ornaments of all kinds, but snowflakes are my favorite!
I wish I could leave a picture. We decorate inside and out all in soft white lights. Our ornaments range from glittery poinsettia flowers to a popsicle stick Rudolph. Opening the boxes of ornaments is the best. It is a reminder of a lifetime of love with friends and family.
I love sharing my passion for creation. Being a single mom, every year I have my children choose the theme of the tree. And we’ve had some classics and we’ve had some doozies. From penguins, Santas, superheroes, Legos, snowflakes, anything round, anything blue and white, all things from the sea, and my most favourite of their choices was pictures of family members made into characters!.We usually start right after Halloween and spend a few weekends making our ornaments. We typically put our tree up day after Thanksgiving . There has been one or two years The time has gotten away from us or other activities have consumed us and we’ve decided to dig back into prior items. To describe in one word, I would have to say our Christmas is nostalgic!!
When we will be having family, we do a lot of decorating. But it’s not the same without family so we do more minimal decorating. That’s why sending cards, and zooming or FaceTiming are so important.
Thanks for the chance to win this lovely set! I lean toward mostly red and white ornaments. I also display ornaments my children made as kids and now my grandchildren’s handmade ornaments; these are all extra special.
I also put silver tinsel on my tree…some people may consider it tacky but I love it as it brings back memories of my childhood Christmases.
I love using ornaments my children and grandchildren have made – mixing in some I have made, too!
My decorating style is elegant woodland! I love to mix lots of tiny white lights with pine branches, little woodland animals and LOTS of snowy white owls!
My Christmas decorations are a meaningful mixture. I have ornaments my mother has crocheted, ornaments that belonged to my great-grandmother, ornaments that I have made with meaningful pictures. I also have other Christmas decorations from Germany, where my mom is from. Brian, thank your for your thoughtful generosity in offering this Blog Candy Giveaway and sharing your talents with us daily.
We decorate with soft white lights, red and white ornaments and snowflakes. I also have a Starbucks tree with ornaments purchase from them! Thanks for offering this opportunity.
My decorations are eclectic. Some are farmhouse, some are shiny and elegant, others are silly and fun. It’s just a big mishmash of Christmas.
Over the years my Christmas decorations have gone from child made, to color and nature themed, but always on the traditional side.
I am very traditional in the decorating department. I try to purchase one ornament with meaning each year and all the others are from years gone by – either purchased by me, for me or made by my kids. As for lights on the tree, colored ones all the way and I have ones that you can choose how or if they blink. I always choose the blinking… Thanks for offering the blog candy. This set is wonderful!!!!
My Christmas Decorations are non existent. If I get a card I pin it to the mirror of my antique dresser near the front door. For the past 30 years I have hand painted ornaments for my friends that have trees. This year I am set to make some cards CASed from Brian’s blog!
What a sweet giveaway! My decorations are kind of eclectic….definitely white lights, but many of my ornaments are vintage, having belonged to my grandmother, then passed on my mother, then passed on to me! Of course I have the usual hand-made ones from my daughter, created in school, with pipe cleaners, egg cartons, etc. I LOVE decorating the tree for Christmas, it’s one tradition that never gets old! Thanks again for the change to win!
This bundle makes such beautiful cards! I made one at a Stamp Camp not too long ago. It was quick and easy to make, and looks so elegant.
I love our decorations! Most of them are from Germany and handmade. We have a hand carved nativity scene from Oberammergau. The Passion Play is held there every 10 years. My husband spent several years there with National Guard.
I love Christmas but noted I’ve been decorating less since we moved into our new open concept home. I don’t have the wall for furniture spots to decorate. However, we decorate our tree with white lights, Hallmark ornaments and homemade ornaments!
What a fun giveaway…our Christmas decorations are mostly traditional…white lights, gold ornaments, 50 year collection of different colored christmas symbols, and a made by me small pinecone garland with red beads draped around the whole tree..ties it all together.
My Christmas decorations can only be described as an eclectic collection of my crafting projects throughout the years as well as gifts from my students. It may seem a bit chaotic, but I love them all. Add some white sparkly lights and we’re set!
Our decorations are traditional with the exception of the full size Leg Lamp that is on display in our picture window on the front of the house! White lights, lots of red, and various projects/ornaments our kids have made throughout their elementary school years.
Some years I do a theme tree, like a Snoopy or handmade ornaments…
My tree continuously evolves year after year. But it always has red and green. Some years I change accent colors…white or gold or silver or turquoise. Your cards are always beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talents
I love white lights and all my decorations are metal colors – gold, silver, copper. I love reindeer, Santas, stars everything but snowmen. For some known reason I don’t like snowmen!
I love a vintage look. This year it is handmade angels and stars. I have a very small tree so the small angels are just too stinkin’ cute.
Thanks, Brian, for the chance to win this blog candy.

Our Christmas decorations are a mix of old and new: stuff that I have bought over the years and inherited stuff. Our tree has ornaments from all the places we have traveled which prompts a lot of remember when while we are decorating. Thanks for the giveaway! Love your blog 🙂
I love all kinds of Christmas decorations. My favorite is all my countdowns. We have a real tree with lots of sentimental ornaments and colored lights.
My holiday decor is hodgepodge and a collection of ornaments from many travels and occasions. How and where we decorate the tree has depended on the age of child and dogs – one year just stuck a very small tree on the mantel and hung ornaments from the light fixtures!
We put up the same ornaments every year. My son(27) has to have his teddy bears. I have a set of five faux stained glass ornaments my father made for me almost 40 years ago. My husband likes the store bought ornaments that look like the ones from his childhood. We fill in with ornaments we have collected over the years. It’s quite an eclectic tree, but we love it.
My Christmas decorations are from Christmas’ past…antique, vintage and handmade from family and friends with lots of lights! So many fun memories on the tree and throughout our home. Thank you for the chance for this beautiful stamp/die bundle.
I decorate our tree with white lights and the ornaments I have collected over the years. My favorite ornaments are the ones we purchased the first year we were married when the tree had hardly any ornaments !!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Our Christmas decorations are family treasures passed down from one generation to the next. They keep the memories of family and friends close at heart year after year.
I always have homemade felt embroidered birds and Santas on my tree along with many birds and collected/handmade birds and Santas collected over the years…two of my favorite things..
For the first time in many years, will be able to spend Christmas holidays with my daughter/granddaughters/sister/niece, so I am going BIG. I got rid of many things before I moved, so am looking for new. Hope to get outside and inside festive this year.
Our Christmas tree has white lights and glass/crystal ornaments from my parents tree…as years go by, I have added additional ornaments and as my four boys get married, I gift them with ornaments from my parents tree and ornaments I have added as they grew up. I love the way our tree glows and the lights reflect off the glass ornaments.
Our Christmas decorations are a merry mix. We usually put up 3 Christmas trees. Each tree has a different color scheme. My husband and I love to decorate our home for Christmas.
