Yes. I like decorating for Christmas. I wasn't always a great decorator though. When I was working in the oilpatch, I found a 6" plastic tree that I put dyed marshmellows on as ornaments and put it on top of my television. I purchased a matchbox car, truck and bulldozer to go beneath it.
And that was how I decorated for many years.
Until, I had a daughter that asked me, "Why didn't I decorate the outside of the house too?"
I was challenged and inspired. Searching on the internet, I found Chuck Smith, founder of http://www.PlanetChristmas.com
As an engineer, Chuck learned how to create mechanically driven lights. His display was a wonder to see.
So, I joined the forum at Planet Christmas and met many other decoration enthusiasts. If you like decorating for Christmas, this is the worlds greatest assembly of decorators each sharing how to ideas, leads on where to find the least expensive lights, and hints on how to display the plastic blow molds that light up at night, even the kneeling Santa at the manger.

I love most everything about Christmas. The decorations bring me a sense of nostalgia.,happy Christmas memories when our family was all together .It all brings warmth and happiness to a room . I mean dont get me wrong some decorations are tacky but the old fashioned classics are what I really enjoy.Stockings by the fire place , candy canes on the tree , wreath on the door pine cones and candles , ribbons and bows these are a few of my favorite things.

I just love little while lights, but I find most of the rest of christmas decorations very (visually) loud and tacky. I really like most of the music though.

Christmas decorations just make everything cheery and joyful. I love going to see the Festival of Lights, making snowmen and laying near the Christmas tree.
It's the greatest time of year :)

I'm more excited by Halloween decorations, but the sparkling Christmas lights definitely make my day a little brighter. :-)

I absolutely love them. I have hundreds of them. Decorate my whole house and at least 2 trees indoors. I have even have Christmas bed spreads and sheets and shower curtain. If you can't overdo at Christmas, when can you?

I like some christmas decorations.
I hate those new large inflatable yard decorations, they're tacky and ugly.

As long as they're tasteful and understated.
I HATE when people fling lights up on every tree, bush, and house surface.
And anything plastic that lights up is TACKY.
The worst thing I ever saw was a light up plastic scene of Santa Claus kneeling at Jesus' manger......completely awful!

I love them, though there are some I do consider tacky.
