How do you decorate for the holidays?

1 Answer

Answer :

I go a little nuts indoors. Every room is completely decorated.. it usually looks like Rudolph threw up holiday spirit all over my house. I can plainly see two decorated trees from right where I’m sitting. We used to put more lights up outside than we do now, but my husband has a back injury, so we stick to some basic icicle lights across the roof and garland with lights on the fence.
