Question What is your christmas colour scheme?

for me the main decs are red/gold I love other colours and an always tempted to try something new but when I have tried switching it up previous years it never felt right so sticking with the traditional colours again.

DD has gone with the blush pink with light golds that seem popular this year I must admit it is pretty but it hasn't really wow'd me

the boys have mini trees in their rooms and are sticking with sliver & blue / gold & green from previous years

We have a choice..

We can do silver and blue with white lighting.

We can do red and gold with red lighting.

Most of our baubles are clear glass so can be used either way.

This year, we have bought a load of M Mouse baubles from Primark, Blue ones, Red ones and the Advent calendar. Our options remain open!

I can even light the Lego Disney Castle in my lounge in any colour!

I have been green and purple for a couple of years in the living room and blush in the kitchen/diner. We don’t decorate anywhere else.

All of the colours and all of the things. We've probably been putting some of the same stuff on the tree for about 20 years. I don't do tree fashion - occasionally buy things that I like, but no flamingos or llamas or christmas trees on vehicles etc. I need stuff to last for another 20 years!

Because I have no idea of tree fashion and popular culture I've just googled 'buffalo checkmin' to see what it is. It is, dear reader, a typo - I'm sure it should be 'buffalo check in red and black' as all that I found for buffalo checkmin was some rather dull research articles.

You're welcome

I have the usual red, green and gold tree, garlands in the mantel piece etc. But I have 3 ‘themes’ that I like to add to every year.

I have a collection of nutcracker soldiers in different sizes and colours which I arrange on the porch sideboard.

My small collection of snowmen (metal, wood, glass etc) sit on the living room bookshelves.

My reindeer collection is my pride & joy. They spend Christmas in the bay window and I love to see them glitter from nearby fairy lights.
