Just the tree up inside at the moment(half of the lights burned out after a week - I think Santa can still find it?).

Just a couple of things outside.

I stopped decorating after getting divorced an living alone, mostly due to my job. I delivered mail for 25 years. In Nov we started working 10 hour days 6 days a week. In Dec it went to 12 hours a day 6 days a week. It sucked the holiday spirit right out of you. Now that I'm gone an arbitrator ruled they can't force anyone to work over 12 hours a day or 60 hours a week. I worked 12.5 A LOT an 70 a week most weeks.

I may decorate a little now. I got a lot of Christmas themed coffee mugs an stuff as gifts an I'd just put those out lol. Now that I live in a 120 year old farm house I'm thinking about gutting an old garden tractor an parking it out front, covering it in christmas lights an putting a santa on the drivers seat an my only decoration.

Yea, but the boss lady out ranks me.;)
? Don't tell her and send it to your neighbors house. Then on Christmas Eve wrap in and leave it under the tree with a tag from Santa.?

Tried that once and the question my wife asked was "is that from your girlfriend "? while I was tearing a new tool open. They somehow know when you're trying to pull one over on them.

Starting to get into the holiday spirit now. My wife put out the nativity set she made in ceramics class 42 years ago. I made the stable from a branch of a giant elm tree that was hit by lightning and flattened the roof of our first home.

Best Christmas trees come with age. A proper Christmas tree is minimum of 150+ years old, which you cut down and chop the 2-4 meters from the top. Due to slowing of growth, this will give you excellent thick & bushy tree with free decoration cones in the tree.

Too bad the neighbors forest is not yet 150 years old.

Yeah I always look for one with some spotted owls living in it. Makes it authentic
