Plastic tree but looks super real. I live near a Christmas tree farm that seems to do pretty well but I’ve never been in anyone’s house that actually has a real one.
Most years its no decorations but occasionally my wife wants them so she puts up some lights and a plastic tree. Seems to happen every 3 to 5 years. This year she bought a more high end tree and a bunch of lights so I think the rate of decorative years might be about to increase.
My household celebrates two different winter-related holidays, Christmas included.
I have some connectors there on my ESPHome devices to string up intelligent LED strands. I even got some RGBW LED strands so that I can have more pleasant-looking lights.
I’ve got a fake tree and some other decorations, plus a blob of older LED and incandescent strands.
…and I just haven’t felt any real holiday spirit the past few years so none of it’s been put up.
We had been doing lights, can’t afford it this year.
Have a fake wreath to put on the door though!
No, never. Not against it, but I live alone and my family was never big in holidays after I stopped being a kid. I would just be doing it for myself and I don’t care enough.
If it were up to me, I wouldn’t. But my wife likes Christmas so I do. I’m an atheist, she’s Wiccan, we were raised Catholic and vaguely catholic-ish respectively.
We do a real tree, if I’m gonna go through the trouble I’m gonna do it right. It also means I don’t have to haul the damn thing up and down the ladder to my attic every year, I just strap it back onto my car and haul it over to my friends house for our next bonfire.
We do a string of lights around our porch and put out a garden flag and that’s about all of our exterior decoration.
My wife also puts out a few interior decorations inside the house, stockings by the fireplace, etc.
