Recently my family watched a something on tv about some houses whose owners had gone all out in Christmas decorating. Some of them started setting up 3 months in advance.

In Europe they dont go all out like americans. They simply dont have that much money. They will put up some lights on the porch and the kids would make anything like snowflakes, banners...etc. Their christmas tree is put up for New Years Eve and Day instead of christmas. This is because there are usually other plants or religious plants/trees/objects that would represent a christmas ornament (a tree in america). But I bet you $100 bucks that they spend christmas day better than america because in europe its all about family and not McDonalds.
Too bad.
You lost 100 bucks. Because I live in Paris.

those are stable strategies you have! consistent with risk you need to tie a Christmas bow to the reflect? generally my family members does Christmas adorning through color (ie. gold and silver, blue and silver, crimson and green, and so forth.) Like final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days we did easy blue and silver, so we've been given white and silver adorns for a smaller tree and our old classic adorns for the different tree. a great thought is taking a glass tile, one which you would be able to positioned issues in that's type of like a container formed glass tile element, and you wrap a bow such as you will a contemporary. then you particularly can positioned a candle or Christmas lights furnishings in it. yet another classic: positioned candles in the abode windows.

I recently moved to Europe and they do not decorate as much as Americans. Americans tend to go a little over board with every thing. Don't get me wrong I am an American and I thought all was well until I moved here...
We are a little over indulgent.......

A few lights at the window, and then whatever you can have the children do. And of course the tree. Special christmas table coverings are usually used also.
We don't have miniature railways with santa's sleigh going around our roof, or huge inflatable santas or something tacky like that.

3 months in advance? wow that's too much! I'm from Europe and we do decorate our houses... don't know about other countries in Europe but where I'm from it's not tooo much... it's just enough I guess. Some people over do it obviously.

ummmmm........... no, i have NEVER seen houses in europe as crazy as some of the ones here in the states. they might have a strand of light around the front door or a window, but mostly white for starters, i have never seen all the real colorfull ones like here in the US, NEVER seen any huge yarddecos as over here in the us and definately to the extend as some ppl take it here, like enough lights to light up a whole neighborhood
