This dark time of year can be a real downer and although my wife and I don't celebrate Xmas we do enjoy having a tree in the house and some colourful decorations. Do you decorate at this time of year and if so, pls show us your pics.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Had to do some workplace decorations ..that was plenty for me. Stopped the tree cutting decades ago, have never regretted it ā¦ Iād much rather plant them, and do!
No cards, either; though still have an assortment of Atheist seasonal greeting cards ..which never went over that well 
Looking forward to lengthening daylight and Spring, till then - just another trip around the Sun ..some rest, and more rest

We cut a fresh pine and decorate it with fishing lures. I can't send picts yet because my car is in the shop and the rental has no room for a tree. I should get one next week when I get my vehicle back.

Fishing lures sound really cool, is there a story behind that?
@Surfpirate Hubby and I greatly enjoyed fishing and came up with the idea sitting by the fire on a camping trip. Hooks are built-in (on lures anyway), then you have bobbers, rubber worms, feathered lures... etc. AND you can store your holiday ornaments in a tacklebox! (:
The first couple of years after I moved from my parents house I did but being single it just seemed more sad than helpful. Through the years I just never got into it, I've even stopped doing the card thing. As the secretary on our activity committee here at the apartment complex I got my fix of Christmas giving when the pres and vp of the committee and myself took our fund raising efforts - a nice chunk of change - and bought gifts for the annual Christmas Basket for needy families. This year we had enough to help 2 moms, one with a 6 month little girl and another with an 11 month boy.
We decorate the clubhouse, the tree is not a real one but with all the ornaments and lights it looks really nice. sorry no pics

A job well done. 
Yes, we celebrate solstice with tree, gifts, turkey dinner, symphonic music, & the fireplace.

I think of it as helping to drive back the darkness this time of year so yes it is all about the winter solstice for me too.
I was thinking about doing something this year, as not only dark but the fog has sat in the valley so even at noon it is gloomy.
