i am taking the night off from blogging. well, actually, the whole weekend off because i don’t think you can really call my second giveaway of christmas a legit post.
it’s been a busy (and super fun) weekend, and i just want to relax with the pups and enjoy the holiday decorations we just put up today.
yes. we have a green bay cheese head on our mantle. the things i do for love.
angel mable <3
good night!
Qs~
1. real or artificial tree? real for me.
2. white or colored lights? clearly, mine are white.
p.s. my google reader is at 634. i am marking all as read.. don’t be offended.
We have a real tree and colored lights:)
Now that’s a tree! love it. Love all the personal ornaments as well!
White lights all the way.
artificial…i can’t deal with the needles everywhere! and white lights all the way, i feel like they’re so much more festive and elegant :)
i feel ya on the reader thing…rest up!
I love the decorations and I am all about real trees, even though my parents get a fake one:( I love white lights!
I used to have that same smores ornament, but I can’t find it! :(
Your tree is gorgeous. I’m personally a big fan of colored lights, although growing up we mostly had white and red lights.
I’m a jew, so we dont do trees, although as much as I’d like a real one, the whole chopping down a tree only to throw it away later bugs me. I know I should drive a prius too but I drive an SUV, i am well aware of my hypocrisy.
And white light are always pleasing on the eye, so I’m with ya.
I’m not offended but I’m tooting my own horn and mentioning that my last post was hilarious.
so festive!
1. we have a small artificial tree. it is really the only practical option in our small apartment. I am rather torn on the ethics of real v. artificial trees anyhow.
2. our small artificial tree has built-in white lights. we keep it classy like that.
enjoy your sunday night :)
Real. All the way through.
Real.
i love the glass vase, with the tree on it, it’s beautiful.
That’s weird. My comment posted a second time but not all of it. Oh well.
I love the Pier1 table decorations! :) They have a fluffy owl ornament there that you HAVE to go check out (if you haven’t seen it already). It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I am going to buy like 8 of them….I’m working there if you can’t tell. Have a good night off!
My Google Reader can get overwhelming at times too! No worries!
Awww your first christmas as a married couple! that is so exciting :)
we have a fake tree :( my dad is allergic! so sad!
I’ve never bought a real tree. I would love the smell, but I just worry about having to keep the cat out of it and all the needles left behind afterwards.
I only like white lights on my tree….classic!
Your tree is beautiful! LOVE the s’mores snowman ornament!
Real tree.
Love the angel Mabel ornament.
Love the bell wreath.
Love the penguin.
Love Janetha.
Real and colored! Although my husband and I have actually yet to have our own tree yet!
I noticed the cheesehead & Packer ornament on your tree–is your husband from Wisconsin?
Haha no he’s just obsessed with the packers. Even has a tattoo.
Haha ohhh.. I am from Wisconsin so I was just curious!
Love your decorations! Tree=real.. always! Light= historically colored, but I actually dig white.
Definitely real with white. Love the decor x x
I like that you took the night off from blogging, by…blogging ;)
Your decorations look great!
I’ve never had a real tree, but I’d like to get one some year.
I love your tree!!! :)
Ever since we got married, we’ve been getting real trees and now its a tradition. I can’t see us going back to an artificial now. Something about having the seem of fresh Christmas is just so inviting. :)
you read fast… 634 all done? haha. JK! Hit that MARK ALL READ button girl! By the way, the penguin is too stinkin cute.

I CAN’T WAIT TO GET HOME TO MY TREE!! We have a real tree. Smells so good!! And we used colored lights (the BIG bulbs) until about two years ago when my mom said it was tacky. I always loved the colors though!
your house looks great!
i LOVE real trees… but this year we have a fake because we are travelling so much & have a little kitten who we didn’t know how would react to the tree. [she’s played with it 143689136times. we got it yesterday.]
white lights!
xoxo
I love real trees, but my allergies dont. Clear lights on mine, it’s prelit. I used to string them myself on my grandmother’s tree I inherited but Dan insisted I get a new tree, so I handed it down to my sister and got a prelit 2 years ago. It’s taller and skinner than the old one (it was HUGELY wide). I like it.
I have that same snowman smores ornament! I also have a smores angel and a smores cowboy
I am all about the real tree!! I love going with the family to pick out the perfect tree every year and then coming home, putting it up and decorating it. I love coming into my house after work to the smell of a real tree in my living room..mmmm…
I totally love the white lights but with having little kids I go with the colored lights. It’s all about the kids these days..someday, I’ll go back to my all white grownup tree..lol
Real tree- white lights!
Your tree is gorgeous! Nice and full. We are real tree people and definitely white lights :)
how did you score mom’s hand painted reindeer??!! isn’t there another around somewhere? i need me one of those!!
It’s not mom’s….its a different one I got. With no neck.
real and colored. it’s the only way to go :)
love that cheesehead on the mantle, FYI. and there is no shame in hitting all as read. i’ve been doing the exact same thing – life is crazy, and sometimes there just ain’t time for blog reading!!!
real tree/ white lights! i hate crazy looking trees haha. keep it simple i say :)
Real Tree.
White Lights (if it were up to me).
I love classy decorations, but there is definitely a place for the colorful homemade type too.
i grew up with real trees. i love real trees. but since it’s really just me enjoying it (my husband’s a jew and we’ve got no kids) i stick to the fake for now. too much work!
marking all as read, a beautiful thing
no tree, no lights
between the traveling we do in dec, the fact we are a half jewish household, and the fact that i dont want to BOTHER with the hassle of a tree…we omit trees, real or otherwise :)
The tree looks beautiful! Our the last few years has been fake…just easier to deal with. When I have a family and kids around then I’ll go back to real for sure!!!
love that jingle bell wreath! so adorable. and antique-like!
i’ll take a real over fake anyday…although fake are EASIER.
Omg I love your decorations, they’re too cute. :)
Your decorations are awesome!
We have a fake tree and white lights, but I’m more of a colored fan myself. I’ve long since accepted the fake tree, especially since one year we had a real one there was a spider nest on it!
pretty decorations!
1) I don’t have a tree because I don’t celebrate xmas
2) I dont have lights because I don’t decorate because I don’t celebrate xmas
xox
I’d prefer a real tree if it weren’t for the mess of needles and having to dispose of it after Christmas. Hence the reason why I bought a fake tree this year.
White lights inside and colored lights outside : )
im getting you as many NFL ornaments as i can find this holiday season. :)
1. Real usually, but I bought an artificial one for my apartment this year, as I will be heading home to Bama on the 10th.
2. Always WHITE lights!
I love the wedge of cheese!
I never set up a tree b.c my birthday is in Dec and I go away for that and to see my parents so its kind of a waste of time and money. But I love real trees and colored lights!
real tree, colored lights, although i really am a fan of white lights too!
I forgot about the volcom ornaments! My craftiness is about out.
HAHA love the cheese head… perfect Christmas decoration I think ;)
Love all the decorations, you are hired to come decorate my place I have yet to do it!
