If I could, I would...Christmas!!! {Part 2}

I'm still stuck on how I would decorate for Christmas. What theme, what colors, how much or less is more? What kind of tree or garland......It's almost like planning a wedding! And I love Planning Weddings!!!!

So first I think decided on what Tree is the beginning of it all....

Upside Down -vs- Right side Up

For me this is a no-brainer...I'm just not that into the Upside Down tree.

Next is REAL -vs- ARTIFICIAL TREES

I see the joy in going to pick out a Real Tree and how it feels the house with Christmas Scents. However I grew up with Artificial trees and I am too much of a practical girl. So I invest once in a "on-sale" tree that is PRE-LITE! I remember every year putting those crazy lights on, taking them off and then trying to untangle the next year. The PRE-LIT os so worth the MONEY!

TO FLOCK or NOT TO FLOCK?

I have grown fond of this look. I know its fake snow but I gave this ago this year on my $15 4ft tree from BIG LOTS and I love it. I have nothing on my tree but the Flocking from a can and I really enjoy it.

COLORED LIGHTS -vs- WHITE LIGHTS

Again I grew up with White Lights but I am torn on this one. I love the fun playfulness of the colored but I lOVE the glow a room gets from the white lights.

THEME

This is endless so I just picked out a couple that I thought were neat/pretty! Take a look below!

{Family Tree with Pictures of multiple Generations on it}

{Turquoise & Silver}

This makes me think of my Sister and my Mom! We all love Turquoise!

{White & Gold}

So clean looking and elegant at the same time

{Just Flocking & Lights}

This is what I have right now but only a 4ft tree. it's still pretty!

{White & Rustic}

{Traditional}

{Gold & Red}

{CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS TREE}

My family loves Charlie Brown Christmas so I had to include this tree you can get at Target!

So what is your Taste......

Real or Artificial?

Flocking or Not?

Colored lights or White?

Themes?

If I could, I would...Christmas!!!

I would decorate to my hearts content with Christmas lights, Christmas Trees in every room, Christmas scents, Christmas Greenery, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!

I love this holiday for so many reasons, but this post is mostly just the fact of decorating for the Holiday Spirit. What's Holding be back?

A couple of things. For one we don't have the place to store the stuff when it's not Christmas, 2 we wouldn't be home to enjoy it. I decorated some our first year of marriage and we were home to plug in the lights only twice the whole month. The other is I am still figuring out what my Christmas Decor style would be to begin with.

Which brings me to my "If I could, I would"....what would be my style and how would I decorate if I had the space and time to enjoy it!

I love these pictures!

This "Upside Down Tree" is unique but NOT Me.

Here is a Martha Stewart Tree that I would put in the Entry Way!

I love this for the Front Door! I might add something like some RED and/or Lights!

The Pictures for Lights on the Outside. One has lights you can hang from trees and the driveway lined with lights! It's so invited even before your guests get in the door!

I enjoy the Precious Moment Nativity Scene just because my mom has one and puts it out every year. Hers isn't this big but still just as precious.

I love these Picture Stocking Holders (These are from Pottery Barn)! It helps remind you to take at least one good annual picture a year and then you can scrapbook the photo after the holiday. Another way to make great memories.
