    Not having electricity means the Christmas ornaments that are up all year round will be just as boring as they are today.

      I put up our tree shortly after Remembrance Day here - we have a half day off for lieu time for parent teacher conferences on the third Friday of November, so I generally spend that afternoon getting the tree up and decorated. We don’t do much more than that, but I really enjoy the extra light at this time of year!

        Here are some photos of our decorations this year. When my mother moved this summer, she gave me a bunch of ornaments, so I added close to 100 more ornaments across two trees this year 😅

        The main tree:

        My view from the bench:

        And yes, for the record, the set up, and the photos, are almost exactly the same as last year.

        It it ain’t broke… 😁

          No ornaments, but seeing the lighted tree in the screen room as I work in the kitchen is nice.

              We have some of those as well (I have two and my mother has one). I think two were made by relatives (and one I think I bought a few years back). There are various iterations of these of course, but Mr WTG's Grandmother's is the perfect kind, to my eye. 🙂

                  @wtg More beautiful trees! Love the wreath with the candle. I remember those little angel candles, I think my Aunt down the road had some. I have a ceramic tree very similar to yours, but mine has a blue star!

                    My decor is very similar to last year's, with a few displays moved to new locations.

                            I’m loving these slender trees! So much less intrusive than the big bushy round ones. We don’t have a lot of room for a tree, and I stopped putting one up when the kids moved out.

                            Here’s my tree this year, same as before but slightly different ornaments. Forgot my sock monkey!

                              @Piano-Dad I love to see those kinds of displays, but I’m not sure I’d want one in my neighborhood! 😅

                              @adagiom I love your display!
