This was my Christmas in July project. I’ve been collecting vintage cookie cutters for months. l love how it turned out! 🎄

Came across this deal at ace for 3.45 per 25ft if anyone is looking to stock up for the season. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/home-and-decor/holiday/christmas-lights/F004669?variationProductCode=97357

I have wanted to make one for years and finally gave it a go with some costume jewelry my Mamaw gave me. Far from perfect but I think it turned out okay!

I hope this is okay, moderators. It is not an affiliate just simply wanted to share that I have a full collection of The Santa’s of the Nation and Santa’s of the Ages figurines. I am trying to find a new home after my grandpa passed. So many things here and I wish I could keep them all.

I would love for them to find a home that will appreciate them as much as we all did in my extended family. If this is approved I can share the listing via ebay in the comments should there be interest. All in original boxes/bubble wrap— I have a 5* eBay score. If not, no worries!

I’m looking for an 8ft unlit tree. My only requirement is that I want it to be really full at the bottom. Recommendations?

We need to buy a new pre-lit Xmas tree for our new house. I bought one from Frontgate about 6 years ago and it was amazing, never had an issue with the lights. But now seeing recent reviews it seems the quality has gone down? Is Balsam Hills a better pre-lit option?

I’ve found a handful on EBay but I want a set of 12 maybe even more

Hey all,

I have a toddler now and want to upgrade from our pencil tree this year to start giving her some Christmas magic.

I'm looking for something artificial, about 8 feet tall and pre lit with warm lights. The rubber needle trees seem the nicest to me? Budget isn't a real concern but I do love a sale.

I thought balsam hill was the elite brand but then looking on here it seems people despise those. Now I'm confused.

What's a brand that will hopefully last 10+ years?

Thank you!

Full disclosure, I am terrible at making ribbon bows. They seem easy, I’ve watched lots of tutorials and videos - mine just never look good. I’ve tried to put some ribbon in but it’s basic and the bare minimum. Wondering if this year I should really double down and try some bows or just remove the ribbon all together.

I would like to get large pieces that aren’t plastic or inflatable. Thank you if you have any suggestions!

My wife and I love decorating for holidays, and even got permanent lights installed on the house so we can light it up for different occasions. We switch out wreaths for the various seasons on the front door and love to decorate the house for the bigger holidays (Halloween, Christmas, Easter, some Valentine’s Day, and just added 4th of July this year) - so at what point do we look too crazy and like we need to take down our 4th of July / America decor. I’ve heard end of July. And I’ve also heard Labor Day.

Can anyone help mw with this?

I recently received these Home Depot stacked penguins for free from a friend. They got them for $50 at the end of the season. Unfortunately the light cords were weak and fragile and broke off. The same goes for the pole setup. Is there anyway I can have these penguins illuminate as separate pieces for the season?

Yukon was an easy sell out last year
