I chuckled at this post, Helen, thinking of the people in the community where I live. Some put up decorations in order to please their children, some put them up out of habit but are really quite reserved unless towards people they grew up with and, as for me, I resist decorations altogether, only giving in to a tree at the last possible moment! What does that say about me?! ;)

Helen

Hi, Caro. Nice to hear from you. Christmas lights in the States seem to be such a major enterprise, perhaps the message is less complicated. As for your last minute approach - sounds completely normal to me!

I used to put up a couple of strands of outdoor lights which welcomed me home when I walked back from the station. Now I work at home, they don't seem quite as important. So we make do with one of the strands placed round the door in the porch area between the front and inner doors, plus a string of jolly snowmen in the front window. A much warmer proposition to put up and still with a satisfying welcoming glow on when I venture outside.

Thanks for the link love - that wreath was such fun to make and I hope my post will help me remember what to do next year :)

Helen

No problem, Michelle. I thought your wreath was lovely. Caro's made me think more about my neighbours and I realise that most of them are probably doing it for children/grandchildren. There's something that feels just right about warmly coloured lights in the depths of winter, though.
