On your tree or your house?

We do both and each year our outside light display gets bigger and bigger!!!! This year we've already bought a massive inflatable Santa for the front yard :giggle:

We dont put any outside - we do use lights on the two trees in the house tho. Strictly small, white none blinking! :giggle:

The only thing that goes outside are two door wreaths, one on the front and one on the back.

Nope, no outside decorations for us!
Just one set on the Christmas tree!

I just don't like them outside myself. But that's just me.

We have lights on the tree.We had a net of lights up inside the window last yr but dh has chucked them! He's a right scrooge and hates christmas! I like outside lights provided they are understated like the icicle ones or on trees etc.Not keen on lots of multicoloured ones/inflatables etc.

We have white lights on our indoor tree & on our tree in the front garden. Other than that it's just a wreath on the front door. We don't have the outdoor lights on for huge amounts of time though - a couple of hours once dark until the boys go to bed, unless we have visitors and we do leave them on later on Christmas Eve / Day too :D

We have lights on the tree and one window set in the frontroom, then a light up wreath by the main door ( inside), daren't put anything outside, some scummy smack head will have off with them. The lights only go on in the afternoon apart from Xmas eve/ day when they are on constantly.
