One of my favorite things about this forum is looking at everyone's decorations

I don't have anywhere near the talent that many of you have, but I thought I would share some photos of my house. I still can't stand up for very long, so please ignore all the wires that are showing.

I love the way this BFF tree turned out. We always have our little black Christmas dog in honor of our flat-coated retreiver Bandit, and the little handmade nativity from 1935.

I to love seeing people's decorations. The different variety in styles. I usually decorate big time for Christmas. This year I'll be hanging a wreath and a bow on the two outdoor light fixtures. I'm just worn down right now with my mom breaking her hip and having Dementia. But I'll enjoy riding and seeing everyone else's decorations and whom ever post theirs on here.

@JYWilliams

My mother broke her hip a few years ago and she was miserable and made all the rest of us miserable too.

Then I broke my hip this summer ... and I know why she was so miserable.

I wish you and your mother the best ... and tons of patience and empathy.

Very beautiful. I had a flat-coated retriever for 20 years, her name was Brandy, my dear sister named her. I have the same black Christmas dog, my Brandy was black.

@juanitalinda Your decorations are beautiful. I do not know how you managed not being able to stand very long at one time. You should be proud of the results.

Thank you. Yes it is hard. And her having Dementia wears you down. It's physically and mentally draining. She loves doing yard work and one day while outside tending to her plants she tripped and fell. That broke her hip. But I do the best I can to keep her happy, comfortable, and safe.

@juanitalinda. Your house looks lovely and very festive. I especially like your display of little houses. I know how hard it is to decorate when you can't stand long as I have the same problem. You're to be commended for your efforts.

Thanks for sharing with us.

@juanitalinda i happen t thimk you are very talented and do have an eye for balance and beauty. I adore your antique handmade cresche too. I have something humble like that which was made by my grandfather in the 1930s also. My mom finally had to buy new figurines as the old ones became soft, broken, fallen apart.

Your staircase is breathtaking! Dont know how you luscle through. I broke my T12 vertabrae a year ago, unable to get therapy and had to have a toe amputated and still dealing with another sick toe and cant stand longer than about 5-10 min at a time myself. For you to be able to drag out, plan and get this done even with help is amazing...inspires me to try. Thank you for sharing.

How beautiful! That really puts me in the holiday mood - I would have to have a chair nearby so I could sit and gaze at everything (and maybe hum a Christmas carol LOL)

Love all of your decorations. So sweet that you have a Christmas dog decoration in memory of your fur baby.

Your home looks so inviting, warm and cozy. Now I hope you can relax and enjoy your work.

You did very well considering you're still in recovery mode. Hope the NY finds you back to normal activities and maybe even, dance a little :-). You deserve it.
