    Question Do you have Christmas ornaments outside in your yard?

    We don't and never have. I love going to see them though at others homes.

    You?

    No, never got into that whole hoopla. We do, however, take the kids to see other peoples' lit up houses.

    I would love too, but we live at an intersection with a slow traffic light. They would have long enough to jump out of the car and steal all of my stuff. Bad enough people throw trash on my lawn all the time....

    I don't but I would love to have some of the cute inflatable decorations. I am afraid with our high winds that I would be chasing mine all the way to the next state, LOL.

    Yes. We put lights around the deck and house and the fencing. We have lighted animated reindeer, several blow up items ( snowman, toy soldier and santa) a wooden sled and reindeer, a lighted nativity set with a home made manger and candy canes.
    I love it. We had to buy the nativity set one piece at a time and we added 1 item every christmas season. It really adds up

    Not yet, but I hope to get dh out there this weekend to put the icicle lights on the porch roof, and the BIG lighted wreath on the front of the house. We also have a fir tree in our front yard that we put BIG lights on.
    As for inflatables or things that can be stolen..nope. Just yesterday I saw a couple of young boys ripping up candy canes stuck along the walkway of someone's house and running off with them

    No ornaments outside for us. We put up lights on 3 evergreen trees and wind colored lights through the rose bushes. We have lighted candles in all of our front windows.

    I put garland with lights around my front door and window, a big wreath with lights also on my front window. Icicle lights on the front and side of house.

    And few of those skinny primitive country trees on the front porch.
