  I have that delight yet to come!  Lights put up in the conservatory first and then I have to put up the tree (artificial which we've had for about 20 years but still looks good), put lights onto that and then the missus does the rest of the tree decoration and anything else.

  I just put lights up around my front door. That might be it for me.

  Minimalist???  Even that's over the top for my liking.

  I've been getting into the spirit.  My tree is fake, but I wanted to do more natural decorations this year.  Burlap garland, bittersweet vine garland (if you can't eradicate it, use it!), and orange slices.  I try to do a different theme every year.  My favorites so far have been my Very Star Wars Christmas and the Diva Tree, but I like the simple charm of this year's, too.
  

  

  
  

  Glass ball wreaths on the French doors, multicolored fairy lights wrapped around the stair rails outside.

  

  
  

  My singing sisters, they're my favorites!

  

  
  

  I have little things here and there throughout the house, too.  A wooden boat style dish filled with pine cones and berries, a vintage Santa tree topper, garlands, stockings, candles, and winter themed ornaments I've made.  I love this time of year.

  Way too early for us.  However, we have already bought the tree and sat it in a bucket of water on the grounds that a freshly cut tree does better than one that's sat in a heap on the shop floor for a few weeks.

  Lit cobea. I'm just hoping it doesn't collapse under frost in the next few weeks. Maybe the lights will keep it warmer and flowering.
