OP
Who's decorated for Christmas this year 2022?
- Thread starter Wildman
- Start date
We decorate the outside right after Halloween (b/c we don't want to get snowed/iced over and be unable to)... we wrap up the inside the evening of Thanksgiving. The inside of the house looks like a Pier One catalog for most of the year - the Mrs. does a fantastic job of keeping us festive and in "the season" (whatever season that happens to be 
)
)
OR More than 1....how about 4
Jurassic Park for the kids
Grilles painted in Anvil for our 2014 and Magnetic grey metallic for our 2020

I somehow managed to get married, raise a family, & see them all off one by one until I’m the last man standing in the house without once, ever, putting a single Christmas decoration up outside. Actually there may have been a wreath one year, but I digress. The ex rather detested me for this, among 1000 other infractions I came to learn the ugly way , but again I digress. The inside of our house was always decorated well, I’d come home from work about a month before Christmas & it would look like Christmas, actually China, puked all over everything. All that shit is loooong gone & I’m quite content being the grumpy fuck that I am.
This is the sole remaining vestige I kept of a time when I was an ever so slightly less grumpy fuck

Nice looking wiener mobile you got there.
Decorated the jeep for the local Christmas parade last weekend. Had 23 Jeeps from the club in the parade.
Now have the AC/DC song in me head.
I forgot to add...
We started a tradition when my daughter was young of putting up the "Christmas" tree in October, then decorating it for Halloween and then Thanksgiving. We haven't done it this year, mainly b/c I've been busy with home projects and we didn't want the tree in the way, but I'm sure we'll get back into the swing of things next year...
Nightmare Before Christmas Tree:
Turns into Thanksgiving Tree... We have a "thankful jar" out for the majority of the year. We would write down little notes - happy or sad - and would also write down at least one thing we were thankful for on the same note. At the end of the year, we would transpose those onto the cutout leaves...

I feel like such an under achiever now....
When I was single in the Army we'd throw one string of lights over a wall locker and call it good. Holidays were just another day most of the time.
My first wife had to always decorate the day after her birthday which was Nov 25. It was a tradition in her family. I did it but I could do without it too.
Now I use to decorate when my daughter was little but then around the time she was 15 she lost interest in decorating. So I'd only decorate a little since she really wasn't onto it. So seeing her get excited this year made me happy.
I’m more likely to hang a body from a tree for Halloween than I am lights for Christmas
My wife goes a bit nuts on her decorating, but I don't mind. We host her whole family of about 20 people each year on Christmas Eve, so we like to make it look festive.
I tend to do mainly the outside. A few lights in the front yard, but I like to focus on the backyard. We all spend way more time out there. With some propane heaters and a fire pit, our Christmas get togethers tend to spill out into the back more often than not.
Merry Christmas everyone!

i'm coming over i gotta dial in my new putter
Like @DuncLJ said, my wife also goes crazy decorating at Christmas. We're now up to four Christmas trees in the house. Just putting ornaments on them is exhausting. I made the mistake of saying that out loud and her response was..."you can work in the garage on your Jeep for hours, but you can't put ornaments on a tree?" I never made that mistake again!

You F'd around and found out!
My wife made the house look like an HGTV special, so I had to flex my decorating muscles
