Okay, so we know that the holiday season is definitely upon us now. Heck, where I am, more and more people are putting their decorations on display. Mom and I will too (even though I'm currently not in the holiday spirit yet). We decorate each room in the house (sometimes even our own bedrooms, and I can't remeber if we get the bathroom).

So, this has got me thinking, and I thought of this.

Why don't we (the members of this guild, I mean), post pics of our decorations in real life? You know, as in actual pictures (inside or outside or both). I think it would be pretty cool, and who knows, maybe the pics would give others ideas that they wouldn't have come up with on their own. Plus, since it's just decorations (food included, since this is the time of year in which people get creative with food - decorating and such), you wouldn't have to post your face or anything.

What do you think? surprised

*EDIT*

Once we decorate stuff over here, I'll take pictures with my digital camera, and post them here! Oh, guess what else? When I was leaving the grocery store, I saw blue and purple poinsettas, decorated with gold and silver glitter! We're definitely getting some of them! surprised

I don't know if I'll be decking the halls. I'm in the process of moving back to school and I'll be living with my Aunt. I don't know if her family decorates or not. Plus there are minor religious differences between us.

gingerbread houses are difficult to make from scratch. i tried each year for 5 years to make one and it always fell apart on me. i gave up last year.

I guess I'll be the first to post pictures. whee
This is the extent of the decorating my housemates and I have done. Actually, it was really all my instigation. sweatdrop

Thanks! I got them (the flake poinsettias) at the local thrift store for something like 50 cents. xd

@ AuraLyn: Nice job! I love the draping of the garlands! biggrin

last year I put up Christmas stockings in our shop(workspace) on the ship. My chiefs a built up bald Harley riding badass, and he told me that even though they (being the upper chain of command) were supposed to encourage us showing Christmas cheer, that if I showed anymore I'd get a jolly boot in the arse. Well late one night, I snuck up to the shop, covered the door with wrapping paper, add3ed a few red white and blue bows, then did some photoshop. Needless to say, he about choked me the next morning. As soon as I can get the picture to transfer without distortion, I'll psot it. What I did was put his face over a santa picture, hung a beard, added a hat, and rosied his cheeks. I added two elves (the two who made chief last year) and put "Spreading Christmas cheer, happy holidays."
