We have a fake tree, which really made me sad when my family first got one as a teen, BUT we get to put it up before Thanksgiving and keep it up through Jan 8th, which is something you can't do with a real tree. There's also something really sad about using a real tree for a month and then it gets tossed out. :( Our tree is pre-lit which is awesome, and it has a remote which can change the tree to all multi colored lights, or all white/clear lights, or both. We usually keep it on both.

| With only the white/clear lights on, totally changes it. |

| I would love to have a table full of nutcrackers one day. So far I have two. Santa with the bagpipes is also hanging out on the mantle. |

| My red dining room is perfect at this time of year! |

| I've wanted snowflake curtain lights for a long time. Only Ikea seems to have them, and I am 2 hours from an Ikea. Found them on ebay for $10. LOVE. |
