Inside and outside? I am in a new house and there isn't much of the outside that anyone sees. And my tree in the garage is too big for the LR I have now. And I think this community is less willing to decorate outside than my old place did. So, I will have to compromise. Much of the old Christmas stuff will have to go to Good Will for others who need it. Makes me sad.

My guess is Good Will will not take your old Christmas stuff. Over time everyone throws away piles of old Christmas decorations. We got rid of the big old fake tree. Outside decorations and lights were also discarded and replaced by projector displays.

I love Christmas! It is my Favorite time of year
My spouse mumbles and complains EVERY year when I drag the Christmas boxes out LOLOLOL
I drag it all out, decorate by myself and take it all down on New Year's day. I enjoy it and if anyone I love does not like it, they can keep it to themselves. Nobody is dampening my Christmas Cheer

Small, three footer tree on a lamp table with some lights. That's all I've been doing for the past several years.

I have never done any outdoor decorating

Absolutely none. Not even a wreath on the door.

I no longer climb on the roof our carport to hand lights. Never liked to and now Mrs5150 doesn't want me to. Tree, some outside lights and a few Christmas nic naks inside.

Small artificial with lights already in the tree.

And since Trump said I was allowed, I'm going to say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays.

We love to decorate for Christmas. We get a fresh tree the beginning of December and put it up and decorate the inside of the house. My husband will work on the outside decorations and get all the lights up the same weekend. I'm not sure how our young cats will do with the tree this year. I hope they won't try to climb it!

Christmas used to mean something.
America turned it into shopping.
