What Holidays do you decorate

[j's m]

When my DS was little, we decorated for every holiday. By the time he was in middle school, it was just Christmas and Easter. His 2nd year away at college, he told me he would like to keep his Christmas tree in his room up all year for when he came home on breaks. So I kept the tree up and started decorating it for every holiday that he was home. I did Easter, July 4th, fall/football season, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I also have a lot of all-purpose red white & blue stuff for Memorial Day and Independence Day. Christmas and Halloween are the craziest, but there's always something seasonal as a centerpiece and I have both sets of those Lillian Vernon holiday blocks.

Although we never did get the Easter stuff up this year, come to think of it. We still have shamrocks all over the place.

DH decorated for the opening of baseball season this week. He has an MLB team garden flag at the end of our driveway, a red, white & blue ribbon on the door, and large red, white, & blue banners for our deck railing.

I decorate for New Years, Winter, Valentines' Day, St. Pat's, Easter, Spring, Memorial/Flag Day/July 4th, Summer, Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas with door hangings/wreaths. I have a lot of garden flags and I like to change them out every 2-3 weeks. I am currently looking for an Olaf summer flag.

I switch out flowers in our flower pots every season. I decorate outside quite a bit at Christmas and Halloween with lights. I bought red, white, and blue lights to hang out on our deck for July 4th this year.

Every room is decorated at Christmas. We have small trees in every room and 2 (sometimes 3) large trees. I have a small amount of inside decorations for each holiday with a little more at Halloween. I love to put out some of the kids' old Easter basket bunnies in the chair in my entry way. I always miss them when I put them away. My favorite is a Mickey Mouse dressed like a bunny.

I guess I actually did decorate for April Fool's Day this year since I put out crime scene tape and drew a body on the driveway. I've got to get me a Ground Hog Day garden flag and a Cinco de Mayo garden flag!!!

Christmas - takes me 2 weekends to put all my stuff up (I love our house at Christmas)
Easter - normally a decent amount, but this year I barely decorated. It was hard to put out Easter stuff when there's still snow on the ground
Halloween - a pretty decent amount of decorations for this
Thanksgiving - minimal (1/2 my Christmas stuff is out at this point)

I go a bit overboard on the Christmas decorations, but that's about it. I'll do an appropriate holiday table centerpiece if were having guests for dinner. I used to decorate the front porch for a lot of things like thanksgiving, Easter, etc, but I limit that to Christmas now and just change out the urns seasonally.

I do the most for Christmas, quite a bit for fall (between Halloween, Thanksgiving, and just general stuff) and sometimes a fair amount for Easter (though, as a PP said, I kept it simpler this year). I have a few things for St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and July 4th as well.

Besides Xmas and Halloween.

Any of the ones my dd 11 wants too.

Christmas

 

[Wendy31]

I have the most decorations for Christmas, of course, but I put out décor for the following holidays & seasons as well:

Fall (Sept) - just general fallish décor
Halloween (Oct) - the fallish décor morphs into Halloween specific decor
Thanksgiving (Nov) - the Halloween décor is taken down & some Thanksgiving specific décor comes out
Winter (January)
Valentines Day (February)
Easter/Spring (late March into April)
Summer (mid-to-late May through August)
Fourth of July (July)

Next to Christmas, our next most decorated holiday/season is the Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving trio & then Easter/Spring.

Halloween and Christmas are top dog in our house.

We will change the table runner for Valentine's Day, Easter, and 4th of July though...

I really like your Easter decorations!!!

We have a ridiculous amount of Halloween and Christmas decorations but not too much else.

When the kids were younger I used to really go all out, but as they've gotten older--and I have gotten older--I find that I'm decorating less and less. I decorate in a harvest theme Oct 1, which takes me through Thanksgiving. Our tree goes up on Thanksgiving afternoon and stays up until Jan 1. If DD22 gets the bug to decorate, she'll put lights on the front porch and bushes, otherwise it's a simple wreath. The only other holidays that I even make an effort at is Memorial Day, July 4, and Sept 11, when I put out my flag and go with our traditional patriotic themed meal (hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, devilled eggs, fruit, and cupcakes.)

We do celebrate Mardi Gras, since we're from the Gulf coast, but that consists of wearing our Mardi Gras beads and going to Copeland's for some gumbo and bread pudding.
