I don't do anything different or special for " holidays ". I just don't see any holidays I guess . New Year's Eve , if not working or on call , I decorate w a bottle of ballantines or black label ?. And coffee . And music ?

I do the Yule tree with secular ornaments. It's so not about Christianity at this point that I just go with it. In a couple of moves I lost a nice set of decorations. Years ago for reasons I didn't understand, Kmart had a Nativity for which you could buy Roman Legionairs. I understand the animals, and what I presume are wise men, but the legionairs were just odd. It also had a tent for the wise men. I bought the stuff that wasn't Nativity (no stable, Mary, Joseph, or Jesus) and had wise men, animals, and Roman Legionairs in a tent that I told everyone were my Saturnalia decorations.

I stopped decorating 25 yrs ago when I came out as an atheist. I felt it was being hypocritical to do so and continue funding corporations idea of the holiday. Mucho dinero dollars.

I do make gifts for the children in my family. Arugumi styled animals and babies wearing animal costumes. I call them "just for the heck of it" presents.

I also donate several of these toys to foster care programs, which makes me happy.

I do enjoy food served at Thanksgiving.

I hang a red sock over the fireplace mantle,hoping it will be filled with hundred dollar bills. Has yet to happen.

I love to decorate for any holiday! I enjoy a festive house no matter what season or reason. For my family christmas is about Santa Claus and family. It is a secular holiday, no nativity scenes have ever been displayed (or owned, for that matter). I have some lovely crystal trees, and I decorate with evergreen and holly on my mantel. I have a real christmas tree, with a Santa on top, and decorated with hand-tatted (it's similar to knitting, only tiny string, very intricate) snowflakes that Great Grandma made over the years. It's all about Santa and family, and looking welcoming and happy! And I can offer a holiday greeting of Merry christmas without feeling that I have broken an "atheist oath" - or whatever! It is what we make of it!

I haven't decorated for xmas for 10 years, no need, just more junk to clean up. I like to give gifts anytime of year and they have less meaning this time of year because people expect it.

I could not care less about decorating for the holidays. Just more cleaning and dusting.

Pretty normal for decorations but we get a live tree and put it on the front deck outside the living room. After the holidays we plant it.

Very cool. As a minimalist, I do no decorations other than the cards I receive.

First tree in years. Soft blues on a white tree. Had to break tradition.

I don't decorate as the holiday means nothing to me. It has no significance what so ever. It will just be another Tuesday to me. Only thing I do get a kick out of is the food.

How did I decorate for the holidays? I didn't. I'm the only one here.

As per request, here is a photo of the snowflakes made by great grandma Audrey (Audrey Larie, for whom I am partly named: Sandra Larie!). They were "tatted" - which is a technique for handcrafting a particularly durable lace from a series of knots and loops.

I decorate my christmas tree with snowflakes, and mostly they are GG Audrey's snowflakes, so they are extra special to me. At some point I will pass them on to my children and their spouses!

Such a beautiful collection! Thank you for sharing

Greetings. I live alone. I do not celebrate Chtistmas as a religious holiday, but rather as the "rite of winter". I eat the traditional foods, the ones that I like. I do not decorate for it, but I hope for snow.

I loved Christmas trees as a child. The lights and the fragrance. This year I don't have a tree, but I have pine boughs, pine cones, and candles. I have solar light strings up all year on the porch, and in the garden and inside. I simmer orange peels and spices on the stove. My Christmas cactus is in bloom and there is a bank of poinsettias in the window. The sofa is layered in red patterned quilts and plaid blankets. Most of this stuff can stay through the entire winter.

ooook, you asked! (the skeleton is missing its chunk of wood , fell near foot) I wanted a turkey in the lap, not easy to find.
And... festivus tree, or something.

A large wreath symbolizing the cycle of the seasons. Very pagan.

My wife and I don't decorate at all, but do put holiday cards on the mantle.

I don't do any additional decorating for the holidays but there are a few Christmas items that I leave up in my house all year around.

I have been living on my own for 14 yrs. I am a single guy with no visitors. Which I can never figure out why people don't want to stop by. Needless to say, I don't see the need to decorate for any reason. Now if I had company that comes over on a regular basis, I might decorate for the hoildays.

I don't, although I may brush away the fur and spider webs.

Have not been wearing a dress since 64 years ago when my sister Kay played xian mom with me as her "baby sister" she collects dolls and still loves me despite my world famous Atheism since 1981. ...solstice conifer without alleged angelic ornaments for decades until my family cats got sick from pine needle ingestion

I stopped decorating for christmas over 3 years ago and don't care if I ever do it again.

Your dolls are in immaculate shape! What a collection.
