Like the snowflakes. And the green tinsel. (Garland.) Like the contrasting lights too.
Like the little fake present string; reminds me of some tree ornaments we had when I was a kid.
Wow! An oil train! That's SO awesome! It's gonna look really cool with all the village and all
Odd plug light things, they're cool. Good idea with the suction cups; much neater than sticky-tack or tape.
Your lack of language is something everyone suffers from, especially when it's gonna be public it's endearing though.
Your geranium flower looks like the neck of a snail in shape

As an adult (not living with a parent) I've NEVER had any form of Christmas decorations or tree. We were either in temporary accommodation, too low/broke/busy for the whole thing or whatever. I never really wanted loads of stuff, but I've never really felt "Christmassy" since leaving home, even Christmas Day itself was a bit weird.
We got a little black tree though, this year. It's only a foot and a half tall, but I really like it. We managed to get some silver/black decorations, and some white lights for it and it all cost about £6 all together. I'm not allowed it up until the 12th because Mik has some stupid superstition about it but I threaded all the baubles in preparation last night, and we've decided it'll adorn the desk. And that'll be enough for me, I'm really looking forward to my first little tree. I'll post a picture when it's up

Bubbles!!!

I also rember lights up via tape

I love the snowman banner and the stockings.I think they look cute.I also like the stars.

Everything looks great. Very beautiful.
Great job decorating.

Why there is no window security bars?

Oh and I don't think it is dorkey either.I think it is great.

In Oregon, Tamil? I've no doubt there are areas there that require them. Most places in the US look like what's in that vid. No security bars anywhere.

I noticed it in many videos.

I like that little train that is around the tree. It's pretty cool!

We need a new word to describe this...

adorkable

Different parts of the US have different looks for houses and building. All have different styles and colors.

I think that is one reason some people like taking road trips in the US, as they seem many different styles

After Christmas sales rock. I wish I had more patience for them. They usually start in January here, and my birthday's on December 30th, so I get too impatient and buy stuff at higher price
Just having this tree so far undecorated has buoyed me a lot. Over time we will get more than just a tree, but it'll do for this year
I know what you mean about the videos. I've made... 3? And all of them were a terrifying endeavour.

Perfect design and composition.
you sound B.E-utiful

I'll watch it again properly when I'm at home. .

Looks lovely! And I hope you get a really cold Christmas so you guys can use that cool fireplace!

Around here if we put decorations up outside some wanker would go past and either steal 'em, or rip 'em down because their wankerism would force them to indulge in a random act of vandelism.

Dee put the tree up on the 1st, but we haven't decorated anything yet. We have, however, sorted the decorations into different boxes by colour! At this rate, we should have everything decorated by the 24th!

Dee's had to take it easy because her arm dropped off after an horrific prawn-related stabbing (she was moving bags of frozen prawns and one of the dead leapt up and jabbed her in the finger with its pointy-nosery-feelery-things).

Those little suction cups sound cool. Never use thumb tacks. If you get a pice of hardwood behind them, the top of the tack will push down to the wall, but the tack part will stay behind and lodge in your thumb (as I found out one Christmas).
