My family celebrates Christmas so we have a Christmas tree and advent wreath inside the house and lights on the outside of our house. We also have all of the items our daughter has been making at school such as paper bells, a manger scene, paper Christmas tree with glitter, etc. We normally have a small manger scene in the house but it's lost in storage because of the move.

Bob and I don't have many decorations yet as this is only our 3rd Christmas together. It took us 2 years to finally buy a tree and this year will be the first we can put presents under it!

We've had a rough start in our relationship with money, health and just bad luck, but what didn't kill us just made us super duper strong and this is going to be the bestest Christmas ever. love

So far as traditions, we're still trying to work out the details. We have our precious tree with coordinated blues and sparkles and we have a handmade ice crystal wreath for our front door. We both agree that window lights can be very tacky if not done properly (ie: every house on our street, lol) so we haven't purchased any until we find the right ones, instead we do the candle thing in our front windows.

We tack our Christmas cards from our loved ones around the doorway that leads to our family room and I put out all the Christmas candles that I've collected from gifts I've received over the years from my Aunts. We have one Aunt that hand makes an artificial floral arrangement for all her nieces every year, and I have those put out around the house on display. This year she made them in a sleigh and it's so huge I had to put it on the floor, and it looks awesome.

When the babies come all this won't mean anything and I'll be lucky if the gifts get wrapped.

I have a bunch of Annalee dolls that my grandmother, mother and I have been collecting for years that I set out, as well as lights, some christmas candles and things.

Hubby was kind of worried the first year we set them up, but now he loves them, and asks if it's time to get the box out of the closet yet.

You're ahead of me, I'm not even touching the tree until the weekend, lol.

Everything else is packed though. (it wasn't hard ripping cards down and throwing them away)
