Decorations
November 6th, 2009
I love holidays. I love time with family and food and presents. I also love decorations. My house feels dressed up, and I get to be creative. I bought the Indian corn, gourd, and pumpkin at the grocery store for $5.00, and the mini straw bales from a craft store for $10.00. I’m happy with how it turned out 
Do you decorate for holidays? Do you just hang a wreath on the door or do you have an inflatable Santa and 9 reindeer on your roof? How do you decide and why?
I’ve been thinking about this recently, trying to figure out how to decorate for Thanksgiving. I like your idea.
I have a difficult time with decorations, because I have a tendency to go overboard, and then I have to store everything. So I kind of stick to Christmas decor for my commitment.
I’m thinking that seasonal table runners might be the way to go though- a taste of homemade (even if they’re not) and easy to move if you need to.
I like Brandy’s decorations. They’re real.
One thing about thanksgiving – you can get real decorations. Even some you can eat later: squashes, pomegranates, apples, etc. Even decorative popcorn (though getting it off the cob can be a challenge). I don’t go in for decorations much. Partly because of storage issues. We have friends who have a box for each major holiday, though. They think carefully about what goes into each box. Not just decorations, but inspirational stuff, etc. I guess if you can fit it in the box, it’s not too much.
