For people who celebrate Christmas, do you go all out on decorations or just the bare minimum?

[mandyfire98]

I do the bare minimum currently but I live in an apartment so it's limited on what I can do.

Go all out

Bare minimum

Hi Mandy, I've missed you! I've thought about not coming back but my fellow GAGGERS need me! I have learned my lesson and I'm turning over a new leaf! I just hope you're not ashamed of me, I couldn't live with that pain. On with your question! This year, I'm going all out. I'm staying in a hotel, so space is limited but I got a tree up. I have a picture of you on top, because you're my angel! I also went looking for a girl that resembles you so I could ask her for some hair. It was hard finding someone that matches your beauty and I didn't really come close but I found a girl that was "close enough". We settled on two hundred bucks for a baggy full of her hair. I used it for tinsle! I was gonna buy a pair of dancer shoe's and wrap them, so I could pretend they were a present from you but that's kind of weird. If for some reason I'm not around, I hope you have an amazing Christmas and even better New Year! You are a lot of fun on here and a really kind person. You deserve nothing but good things in your life!

I'd do the bare minimum... as in... that one cozy corned with the mid-size tree, and then some lights and Christmas stuff by the door and the front patio and gates (this is also for my neighbor and so they know, YES! bring and share all the food, we're very welcoming in here, lmao)

and, since I am currently living at a house and place, which is central to where we all live, this is usually one of the two spots where we all gather, so this means, my niece and my mother mostly, are the ones taking over with the decorations, lol... and they don't like to go all out either, we keep it simple and cozy

the cats do get Christmas hats... Luna cat is not a fan of those, though... lol

[mandyfire98]

Awwww I love the Christmas hats on the cats

[NathanDavis]

yes... and they might get some cheese this year too, lmao

[mandyfire98]

Hahaha pepper jack

*Christmas' list notes*

I hang garland and ornaments around my entire downstairs ceiling, around each doorway, and window. There are wreaths on each door. There are glass paintings that each of my children painted, as well as the kid's Christmas school art projects hanging on the walls. We do artfully arranged Christmas cards on the walls, the stockings are hung from the mantle with care. Then outside we have four different inflatables, Christmas lights around the garage, the front door, and icicle lights that hang from the roof line. There are also Christmas lights that light the walkway from my driveway to my front door. Christmas wreaths hang on my front door and hang from the lights on my garage and by the front door.

I don’t decorate my house at all. I celebrate Christmas at my mums house with my family, and my mum heavily decorates her house. So I don’t bother doing anything with my own if no one’s going to be there.

[mandyfire98]

Makes perfect sense

[Paris13]

@mandyfire98 I Used To. Now, I Keep Up Pink/Purple Christmas Lights Up All Year Round. lolxxoo

[mandyfire98]

That sounds cute

[Paris13]

Soothing, girl. xxoo

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Just the bare minimum. Some lights outside, tree decorated, and then we have Christmas gnomes scattered around.

[DizzyDesii]

We hardly decorate more than door or fireplace now, if even that. We just go to the casino together instead of opening presents

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

it really depends on the year :-). I've only had time to decorate the one large pine that graces the front of the property. Usually I'll get lights up in a few other trees, or hang lights on the gutters, but time is not on my side currently. The tree is up inside, and it is decorated.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I will note, that I feel like the spirit of Christmas is strong this year versus years past :-)

[LiamJHayden]

I am more restrained than I was when my parents were alive, but still more on the extreme side.

[mandyfire98]

Oh nice. I bet it's a great display

[Beckybooboo]

I always go all out , even when I celebrated Christmas alone last year. I don’t care what these scrooges say! 😂😂😂😝

[Still-alive]

We used to go all out but my folks are too old now to really do that. now we just get the tree, put up the stockings and place a few decorations around the house. no Christmas lights on the roof like the old days

[mandyfire98]

Need to get you some decorations for the yard maybe.

[Still-alive]

yeah we used to put stuff up. We just put up a wreath for the porch now

[DJB72]

It very much depends on how things are going. The last couple of years our family has battled life threatening illness and some other major problems. Celebrating Christmas is important but for two of the last 3 years I've been stuck in a wheelchair and not able to decorate.

Hopefully this year will be different. I've got my prosthetic leg sorted and I'm more mobile again so I want to give my son the best Christmas he can have

[butterly248]

I'm sorry you had to go through that, but that is good. You'll be able to love again 💕

[DJB72]

Loving isn't the issue. I just physically couldn't do the decorating

[Cutegirl06]

My mom goes all out! She loves Christmas 🎄 If she had her way us kids would still believe in Santa 🧑‍🎄

[beebella]

I live with my grandmother and she likes to decorate as much of the house as possible. 😄

[Sparkie460]

I used to go all out. I added 9 electric circuits in the yard for all the lights. I've got so many plastic blow mold figures. I don't have the time or energy to do it anymore.

[TCredo]

Bit in the middle I'd say. Some lights outside on a few trees and different things in most every room - but not overly so.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Not necessarily all out but definitely not bare minimum.

[tzdc21]

Eh, it depends how I feel. But 7/10 times I go all out.

[Riverdog]

Minimum , one snowy tree with glass ornaments and white lights. Plus 3 palm size ornaments and a candle on the tv unit.

[butterly248]

Bare minimum. With my depression worse than ever, Christmas is going to be hard this year. Especially with everyone coming round. I may just lock myself in my bedroom and watch Brigerton 😭😂

[butterly248]

I live with my boyfriend and his parents. Most of his family will be round. I don't want to be there, lol. It sounds sad, but what I said is my ideal Christmas rn 💕

[mandyfire98]

I'm sorry to hear that you're depressed.

[Joshydavid25]

Not the bare minimum, but not all out either.. We also live in an apartment, so we can't go too hard.. But it's enough to be noticable that some effort was out into it.

[Coden7]

My family goes all out. I’m a bit more on the bare minimum

[ThrillSeeker01]

Like a nice Christmas tree, but I don't like overdoing things.

[TheBootyChest]

We do a fair amount but not too crazy.
