Holiday Cheer!
I really DO have my Christmas tree up and decorated already!
Last year after Christmas, I went down to Evil-ville (aka Wal-Mart) and bought all kinds of glittery ornaments for about .25 each and now my tree is a red and gold Victorian extravaganza! This year they had glittery dragonfly ornaments and all kinds of tempting scrolly things - and I'm trying to abstain. Really. Trying. Tell me about your cheer! |
OOOOO! Glittery dragonflies? I dont think I could resist those!
Well, I"m having to obstain from putting up a tree yet. We always do it the day after Thanksgiving. I need to get shopping for new ornaments. Sadly, Doc doesnt want a themed tree this year..:( |
HOLIDAY CHEER... YIPPPEEE!
Yep, I've already got my cheer going on, although no tree up as of yet. I'm thinking that I'm gonna do my best to abstain until at least Thanksgiving Day. But that night, I'm all over it! I went to Hobby Lobby on Saturday to oooohhh and awwwww in Christmas wonderment! Of course, I bought 3 new ornaments for the Diva tree ~ 2 different black high heel shoes with rhinestones and a fabulous little red, sparkly purse ornament. I didn't go crazy, because they didn't have them marked 50% off yet... hopefully in the next few weeks they will. Medusa, they had some FABULOUS red dragonfly ornaments... just sayin'. I might have to make a return trip just for you!!! I looked for Hello Kitty for you ~ but alas, nothing! I might have to break out the hot glue gun and make you a lil' something something! My boo did get a few sports themed ornaments for her tree, too! See, this two tree things works out pretty well ;) |
I still haven't put away my Halloween decorations and the Christmas stuff is locked in storage until I have time to look at it. I've been makin' ornaments already, though! :)

* Waves to all the pretty, cool ladies who posted in here *
Walking through the forums and checking out the sights, and of course I see Dusa's already got her Xmas tree up :eek: I thought I was bad with tearing down all my Halloween shit the next morning at 7 AM and thinking about putting the Thanksgiving flag outside. But, figured I'd give it a week or so to hang the flag out. Now here's someone's office/spare room that looks like Vegas with all my red neon stuff in here. Dusa you've seen it <via webcam and pics> You should see it now, we changed the room around and it's awesome. It actually looks like the Hard Rock Cafe' with my stratocaster's hanging on the wall. It's awesome and I love spending my time in here amongst the neon. It's all guitar themed now, etc. So, this is my holiday cheer and my tree will be decorated with guitar gadget ornaments ;) :cool: |
No! No! No!

Uh...Scratch what I JUST wrote in your intro thread, Selenay. :eek:
*hands you a mugga hot cocoa and heads to bed* XO! |
Did someone say holiday cheer?????
Now those who know Me in R/T know that I am one of the BIGGEST kids at xmas time! I will spend hours at the mall (yes I said it) during this time of year just to admire the decorations and such. Since I'm working now and have My own cubicle there, I am planning on decorating it with some xmas things like abit of garland and ornaments etc. I would love to have a tree up right now but I live at home and My mom just does not have time to even think about that right now so I will just live vicariously for now through those of you who already have the tree up :D |
You have ur tree up already?! Oh my gosh that is so awesome!! I just took down the Halloween decorations and am getting ready to find some turkey-ish (lol) decorations to put up for Thanksgiving. My son won't let me put up any Christmas decorations until the day after Thanksgiving because it's always been a tradition in my family. He won't even let me hum Christmas songs til then. *pout*
|
And I thought *I* was bad for wanting to put O/ours up on the 1st of December! LOL...
LOVE the sound of yours Medusa. I always do a very traditional (i.e., Victorian style) tree with plenty of red, green and gold (only problem being that O/our 6 foot tree takes up most of the living room). I have to say though that you (the collective you) have the best decorations. I remember visiting some kind of hobby center in California last year and being totally overwhelmed by the choice and the quality (and don't even get me started on the Christmas shops I once visited in Maine). Yep, definitely much better than what's available here in the UK. Words |

U B S C R I B I N G!!!! *huuuge beaming grin* Ohhhhhhhhhhh I am so glad to see this thread. *beam* I think, had I seen dragonfly ornaments, my entire grocery budget would be ALL shot to hell. I think when Nick and Gryph go out to celebrate Gryph's birthday I shall request being dropped off at Hobby Lobby so that I have time enough to peruse the Christmas aisles. I think Big Lots might be in my future too, I think I wait All Year Long for the winter holidays. I think *squeeeeeeeeeeeee* oh I am so excited!!!! *bounces, beaming* My Halloween decs were vastly understated this year, one punkin and a wreath with a few autumn leaves on it, three candleholders--one of which I noticed later might very WELL be shaped like a cute lil black cauldron, but has PINE TREES as the cut out for the candle-light to shine through, lol.... anyhow, they stay up until Thanksgiving, maybe longer, because Autumn is my season. Heck, y'all been color draped? Autumn is my color, too--and Gryph's, which is convenient, because it means my colors are never going to give him a headache. Our first tree here in Wichita was decorated with paper and I found dragonflies printed on tissue paper; cut them out in heart shapes, glued them to thicker paper, and hung them on the tree. The problem was that it was a live tree and needed a lot of misting to combat the dry air of the apartment, and the decs didn't last past that first season. Dragonfly is one of my favorites, though, as are humbirds, and I think it would be amazing and wonderful to decorate a tree with them! So, one of the advantages of being an Autumn is that Christmas plaids, the kind in the deep jewel tones, appeal to me enormously... and since they are plaid, they're unfussy enough to please the Butch. *grins* *wiggles with sudden happiness* Ohhhhh I am SO going to love decorating this year!!! *beams* |
Hopefully reading posts by others may help to bring me holiday cheer. Somehow though, I just don't see it happening. I will, however, leave this thread with an open mind.

If I set my ringtone as a Christmas carol does that make me cheery?
|
Yes, I confess that I too am a whore for holiday crap. I am way more down with the Halloween tchatchke scene, though I am surprisingly seduced by vintage style flockery, not fuckery.
I'm a cheapskate though, and like our snakey-headed hostess, I tend to buy after the money shot day has blown its load and is begging for a clean-up on aisle seven. xoxo, Queen Krampus |
We watched Fred Claus today. It was kinda cute. I'm ready to start watching the Grinch (Jim Carey version AND the original version).
|
Would it be wrong to make dough ornaments that have been kneaded with brown food coloring and dried corn and peanuts into little turd-shaped wonders to hang on the tree?
I'll spray them with glitter if it makes them more festive :D |
dusa-that would be gross but i know you would make it work. :) i saw the new animated version of the christmas carol today. it was alright. also the mall stores were playing xmas music.
|
Just realized that this Christmas will be my first as a single person in several years. Usually when I'm single I don't do the tree or anything like that. I will either volunteer or more often take a trip.
But this year, with the house coming together so nicely it seems almost a shame not have a tree. I'll have to struggle with that one a bit. But the day after Christmas I know exactly what I'll be doing - I'll be looking for bargains at the annual Room & Board Clearance event. In the mean time I'll get my holiday cheer on with bringing together the company party. |
oooo ... the Holiday Markets start in Prague end of NOV ... and I cannot wait.
The Christmas Season is my favorite. I am heading to the Nuremberg Christkindl Market in Germany mid DEC .... ~wooottt~ Angelika |
This year, I will have 2 trees. I'm very excited.....
I love the holidays!!! This year...I will have to buy a few (10) strings of lights as I blew a bunch of them last year....oh darn. :D |

The holidays always bring fond memories of dysfunctional family gatherings past.
What brings the holiday cheer better than inebriated relatives and passive aggressive barbs? |
Humbug....

Did I hear "Christmas"?
Yanno, I was going to start a Christmas thread, and then I remembered that Medusa was here. Helloooooooo! ;)
Good news for all urban-dwellers south of the border! (no, not the Mexican border silly! :confused:) The christmas trees and wreaths are on their way soon! I see the trucks bringing them to the loading stations now every day! Good news! Huh? :antler: |
We may be putting our Christmas tree up tomorrow ... only because Mare's work schedule is that pressed and we have a pre-holiday party we need to prep for. I don't think I have EVER had a tree up this early, but I am :freak:excited about it!
|
I am SOOOOO looking forward to Christmas and Hanukkah this year!
We went to Dollar General and got a whole lot of stuff for our Christmas party we are having (an Ugly Christmas Sweater party)!!!! Daddy says we have to wait until black Friday to put the tree up but I WANNA DO IT NOW!!! so excited. usually I am such a Grinch but this year is going to be perfect. I never celebrated Hanukkah so this will be my time to learn about that also!!! :) |
OMG you guys musta got this one :chainsaw: for Jack..... how cool is that??? I love them all! Oh yeah, and by the way, etc..... this is my favorite thread..... cause I'm a SERIOUS Christmas Ho..... totally CRAZED. When we lived in Redding {northern california} I put up so many lights that I blew EVERY breaker all down the street {ok ok maybe not THAT many but a LOT} and lit up the entire western hemisphere!!! My ex told me it looked like Santa's Sleigh had crashed into a Mexican restaurant!!!! I knew then, that I'd achieved the look I was going for SO THERE {snap to you ol meanie ex who was and still is a SCROOGE}
This year, in order that we might celebrate in true Over The Top Suzi Style.... we're gonna put up EVERY SINGLE Christmas tree we have. One in each room. Pics WILL be forthcoming but don't blame me if I burn your retinas out!!! :p |

I'm sending Medusa a christmas sweater with lots of sequins and holiday fuckery on it.
I started playing all chistmas music last week. Can't wait to get the tree up and outside lights up! It's the most won-der-ful time of the year... |
No. Holiday. Sweaters.
And because I work with a bunch of nerdy folks who have a smmmaaalllll percentage of soccer-mom-techies mixed in, there will be a new rule. NO. CHRISTMAS. SOCKS. No socks with bells, glittery snowmen, or googly-eyed Santas. I feel like every time I see that shit peeking out from under a professional trouser that I have been flashed by a crotch with very active crabs. NO CHRISTMAS SOCKS! In other news: I ordered a present for Jack from eBay and if she rips it open before I get home today Im going to kick her ass. |
My students gave me musical Christmas socks one year. There was a glitch in our computer system that 6 weeks and they all failed. There was nothing I could do.
;) In brighter news.....the red and green rubbermaid containers are calling to me....... :cuttree: |
Well, the Christmas tree did not go up on the day we expected it to - but it will be up before Sunday. Mare decided She wanted to get a new tree, so ... a-shopping we will go.
:smileyXmasTree: |
My holiday cheer consists of: A giant bottle of Patron and EggNog with SoCo. Oh and please suppy a straw.

*bounces in singing a Thanksgiving song*
:musicnote: Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go! The horse knows the way To carry the sleigh O'er the white and drifting snoo-ooow! :musicnote: :musicnote: Over the river and through the woods Oh, how the wind does blow! It bites the nose and chills the toes As over the ground we go! :musicnote: *bounces in her chair* Tomorrow is the Big Day---lots of Autumn food, and me and my sweetie together all day!! *just beams* Thanksgiving to me is a celebration of the harvest and of being rooted firmly in Autumn, in the turning tides of the Seasons. We eat foods that are native to this continent--turkey, sweet taters, white taters, cranberries, corn--in celebration of the bounty of the land and in memory of the First Farmers of the land. We celebrate our bond as a family, two-legged and four-footed. We share with those in need. :thanksgiving: :thanksgiving: :thanksgiving: And THEN *heh heh heh* we start on December and the Winter holidays!!! *dances, beaming* This is my time of year. :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: |

I. LOVE. HOLIDAY. SOCKS. :sock::sock::sock: That is all. |
I bought a small tree this year already. Yes, I like artificial ones. The lights are already on the tree. Clear ones. And the day after Thansgiving I will be avoiding even pulling my car out of the driveway during Black Friday and decorating my humble little tree.:cc:
