After reading everyone’s comments yesterday about meal traditions we were getting VERY VERY hungry! I love how some of you create meals for different countries every year!
Today we want to know if you are like the griswold’s? Meaning…do you light up the outside of your house? Decorate with lots of decorations?
Love the glitter!! Beautiful colors!
We decorate just a little…some white icicle lights and green/red large Christmas ornaments hanging in the entry…
Ooh day 10 already. No I don’t decorate the outside but I put the tree by the window so it can be seen from the outside!
no outdoor lights…I’d like to have them, i just don’t feel like putting them up or taking them down. I stick to decorating the inside only…for now!
Lovin’ that glitter!!
I keep the outside of the house very simple. I put up a lighted nativity on one side of the lawn. After Christmas, I put out a lighted snowman and snowflakes hand in all the front windows. This helps me to be a little happier in January to fight the winter blues.
Wow this keeps getting better and better! We love lights at our house but especially blow UPS! We aren’t as advanced as the griswolds but we try our best!
It just keeps getting better!!!
If I had one of those machines which fired the lights up onto the house, I’d consider having them. Sadly, I don’t think our house is pretty enough (it’s quite square with a flat roof), even if it were adorned with Christmas lights.
P.S.What fantastic prizes! I’ve got everything crossed
Oh, I forgot! We don’t decorate the outside of our house at all and haven’t decorated inside since our oldest daughter was killed…just too many memories. I do photograph and scrapbook Christmas at grandma’s house, though.
Oh yeah we are a Griswold house! My hubby starts decorating the day after Thanksgiving! We love lots of bling!
Bring on the bling! We start decorating the day after Thanksgiving!
Yes, lots of twinkle lights on our house! Reindeer in the front yard, lots of lights on the Christmas tree, and wreaths everywhere!
Those glitters are perfect for the collection! YUMMY!
Here in the Philippines, we start decorating as early as October. I am one of those who loves decorations and I have plaenty of it outside than inside my house
Love the bling!
We decorate, but not over the top like the Griswalds, try to save a little energy!
Love the stixs!!! In the past we have put up lights, but this year we skipped it.
My two year old is all about Christmas this year so I have put up some lights and a wreath on our front door. Focused more on the inside this year. Next year will do more outside. What a fan-tabulous prize pack! Good luck everyone!
Stacy
Fun! Sinnce our dog has tried to chew the wires, we stopped the lights outside, and just put candles in the windows.
We decorate our family room. No outside lights…but our kiddos keep begging for them….maybe next year!
I love that movie, we’re not quite that extreme but we do have lights up along the front of the house and this year we added two lighted little deer. They are so cute.
we wrap our balcony inside with white lights to banish the dark days.
Oh yes. I tried to fight the outside lights. I tried to hide them, he found them. I tried to stall, he doesn’t buy my shenanigans. We have a santa and reindeer and trees and lights and jeeeeez…I have to wear my sunglasses at night. AND this year, we upgraded to LED lights…Oh My Heck…those boogers are bright!!
I love to decorate the outside of the house, but I like to do it simply and with beautiful decorations. I also put lights around shelfs and bookcases with lots of little wreaths and pine on the inside. It helps to make such a festive and fun atmosphere.
Our house is kept pretty simple. A few trees decorated, a little on our porch and some light up santas. No Griswolds here.
Glitter?! I’m in love!
As for outdoor lights, we don’t have any. If I was brave enough to get up on a ladder, I’d do it myself. Still not sure why I can’t get the DSO to put some up…
I do love to decorate on the outside, but only in one colour. This year we’ve just got icicle lights, but I would love some wreaths as well.
Yes… my sweet husband went outside in 14 degree weather yesterday to hang the outside lights! How wonderful is he?!
We light up our house, and we make sure to have Frosty the Snowman on our porch too, my little girls adore seeing them all lit up at night. It makes there Daddy smile every time he hears them say “Wow!”. We then tackle the lighting inside the house, which makes the girls gasp out another “Wow!”. What a gift to have our little ones remind us of the simple things in life.
Hugs and Happy 10th day,
Tanya
no outdoor lights for us – - had a scare a few years back when the lights we put up almost caused a fire.
i’m interested in the pixie stix. haven’t seen one in our lss,so i do hope i’ll get lucky on the 10th day of christmas!
We do not have any lights this year, but usually have some. Our neighbors, have a Griswold thing going on. 10,000 lights synced to music, our street has been very popular this year.
No Griswold’s here, I’m too busy crafting to decorate
. I’m a glitter-a-holic so I’m really really crossing my fingers.
love that movie! We don’t decorate a lot, but we have wreaths and “candles” in the windows. That’s about it.
We put up white lights around the porch and roof…festive but not too Griswold-ish.
We are Totally the Griswold’s!! My friend even teases me about it! LOL
We are pretty low key with decorating this year – got last year’s Christmas lights taken down in September and haven’t had the energy to put them up again! I love to decorate indoors though – this year our rule was only handmade ornaments on the tree, and it’s still fully decorated!
We put a wreath on the front door and that’s it. Electricity costs too much as there’s rarely a month in Louisiana that we don’t use the air conditioning at least part of the time!
This is our first year in a house, and the first thing that got lots this year… the garage! That’s it.
We’ve strung lights around the garage door. But we do have lights in every livingroom window. The kids love it. It’s fun to watch Christmas movies with just the Christmas lights on. Really calms everyone down!
PS: TEN TUBES OF GLITTER… AMAZING!!
The Griswolds have nothing on us!! My husband is the Tim Taylor of the neighborhood. Lights everywhere, inflatables on the lawn and statues on the roof. He wants our house to be seen from space!!
Love everything…wants everything. It’s my Christmas wish!!
10 Pixee Sticks!! Oh the possibilities.. No lights outside, our house is so old it doesn’t have an electrical outlet outdoors..crazy I know! But, the inside is fully decorated!! I try to make a new Christmas craft each year..this year, Christmas countdown blocks with the Tinsel Town and Enchanting lines!!
mmmmm glitter!!!!! no decorations outside yet! but i still have hope
WOW PIXIESTIX… LOVE LOVE LOVE!
We dont do lots of outdoorligthing, we do some light decorations in the windows, and the christmastree, and lots of candles indoors instead.
//Katarina
We don’t decorate the outside, but we do go to town on the inside, we have 2 trees and tons of lights.
Definitely not a griswold. I am a light purist…I love love love white lights…and no inflatable santas or reindeer for me! Happy Happy!
OMG!!! That is an amazing package!! I should be so lucky to have a prize like that.
Decorations? What’s that? LOL We put up icicle lights outside and a tree inside. That’s about it. We keep it pretty simple.
Oooh, Pixee Stix! Love those fabulous tubes of glittery fun!! This package of goodies is so awesome!! Thanks for another chance to win!!
Oh, and as for your question – no Griswald action here. We just decorate the inside. I do love to look at the houses all done up though. CHristmas lights are beautiful!!
Love all the goodies!
We docorate the front yard and front of our house. I always put greenery around the porch with white lights and red bows. I have two lighted reindeer and this year I add a few more lighted ornamanets and a lighted memorial tree in memory of my son.
I don’t decorate the outside of my house, because I live in an appartement. Just a wreath on my front door. And sadly this year I don’t even have room for a tree in my house (my livingroom is too small). But I have some little Christmas decoratings in the livingroom.
I’m all about the classic look. We have white icicle lights, wreaths in the windows and on the door and white lights on the bushes.
So not a Griswald house, just lighted swags and bows here. This package of goodies just gets better everyday, I can hardly believe my eyes!
Hard to decorate the outside of my place living in an apt.
my parents put up some lights… but not a whole lot…
love the glittery goodness!
We don’t decorate the outside very much. Just some red lights around a post by my red front door. But we love driving around and admiring everyone else’s homes that are all decked out.
my husband goes outside to hang lights – it scares me to death so I hide inside the house until they are done.
No, I’m not Clark….I’m lucky to get a few decorations up before Christmas!
Melinda Davies – My husband and I have only been married for a year so we don’t have a lot of stuff. We inherited a Christmas tree from his great uncle and it looks quite funny because there is no top for it. We put all of the branches in the middle pole and found out that it looks more like a trapezoid than a triangle. There is no place for us to put a star at the top! It was really funny for us. We have a little nativity scene and some wooden blocks that say Merry Christmas. Hopefully we will be more festive next year.
unfortunately my husband is rather scroogish and I am afraid of heights so we don’t deck the house out with lights everywhere. I do however decorate my front porch and evergreen trees with lights (the places I can reach without a ladder! lol)
We just do a few things like icicle lights, wreaths and snowball luminaries.
My version is all on the inside of the house. Lots of ornaments and lights, snowmen and Santas everywhere. And of course a wreath on the door.
No, we don’t light up the outside of our house. I like looking at other people’s lights though.
OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo glitter sticks! Yummy!!!!
We love the Griswold’s – a tradition movie for my hubby and me! So funny! We light up the outside of our home but we don’t go overboard – we leave that to our friendly neighbors down the street! But we love to decorate inside, a lot!
Love me some glitter!! ; )
How funny…no, we don’t over due it but we do have on colorful strand of lights on the outside of the house. Now inside, that’s another story! LOL
No Griswold’s here. I’ve barely had time to put up the tree!
We’re definitely like the Griswold’s! LOL We have about 30,000 lights this year with 120 channels of computer automation…..Which means the lights “dance” to the music while viewers listen to the music on their car radio.
OK, we live by the Griswold’s. They take most of the power for our street up but we do our part. I suspect we have about 10,000 lights strung, some flickering candlesticks on either side of the walkway.
But the Griswolds now have added Mannheim Steamroller music animated their millions of lights so we go outside and dance in the street under the stars. Our granddaughters stand in the cul de sac and twirl, entranced by the show.
And I am entranced by this giveaway and ho-ho-hoping you pick me!
Thanks for the fun!
Glitter is GOOD!!!
We haven’t put up lights outside in a couple of years. I love clear icicle lights though.
We decorate quite a bit inside and out, but not too crazy or gawdy. The best part is my husband does it all, even my Dept 56 village – he says I don’t do it right which is true – he does a much better job!
10 tubes!?!? You’re killing me here!!
I guess we don’t go nutsy like that, but we do put up the lights (in November) and I have 4 Christmas trees…. ok, maybe a little nutsy!
Just something simple at the main door, like a wreath. The main decor is a decorated tree in the living room with two cute reindeers beneath it, and a couple of trims by the windows.
we have white stucco on our house so we use the “old school” big lights in clear and they make our house so bright and beautiful. It’s tasteful though, nothing over the top for us. Just simple and pretty.
I love chtistmas it looks like tinsel town here im crazy about decortaions!!!
did someone say “glitter”? Ooooohhhh! So pretty! Gimme, Gimme, Gimme! Make my pages SPARKLE!
This year we didn’t do outside this year but the inside is becoming quite pretty as we do/make something everyday
We do not decorate the outside with lights or anything. I just hang a wreath on the door. Inside we have a tree up and we decorate the fireplace and mantle with Christmas decorations.
Oh Wow! We are getting closer to the 12th day and the winners!!! You know what, we live in an apartment in LA and we are all the way in the back so there’s isn’t a way for us to decorate
but I deck out the inside of our home with lights and decorations.
Definitely not like the Griswold’s…I like things more minimal. 10 tubes of glitter…AWESOME!
My husband likes to light up the whole neighborhood. If I could only get him to be as enthusiastic about taking them down!!
I love that glitter!
Yes – I’m definitely a member of the Griswold family! I don’t do too much outside – I wrap my porch railings with garland and have wreaths and three little trees lit up on the side and do garland around my front door with little trees on each side – all lit up of course!
But inside – I just go crazy. I have a total of 7 trees decorated inside my house – anywhere from my 9′ tall “real” tree decorated with angels and gold to my little 2 1/2′ gingerbread tree in the kitchen. Plus, I have a village that I have collected for about 20 years – each “house” is about 8-9″ tall and I have a total of 44 houses plus all the assorted people, gazebo’s, bridges, etc. I even have a riverboat. My village stays out all year in a built-in cabinet in my dining room but I have a special scene that I do on the buffet table in the dining room.
I also collect tree toppers and have about 15 of those on top of the piano.
I LOVE the Holidays!
Oh yes I would like to decorate the outdoor of my house but infortunately it is not possible because I live in an appartment snif snif
We light up the neighborhood at Halloween so we let our neighbors do the honors at Christmas. Inside is a whole different story!
We are not the Griswald’s. One tasteful tree and one tasteful lit up outdoor item. One stocking for each resident and that is about it.
Love the glitter. Nice addition.
Well, we’re not like the Griswolds. LOL!!!! But we do like decorating for Christmas. We have minimal lights outside, but I LOVE decorating inside. We have a large, open foyer with a banister all along the upstairs and down the stairs, we decorate this with garland and ribbon, and then we have a 9 ft. tree. I LOVE it!
I use to go all out for Christmas with lights and decorations. I’ve grown up and kinda lost the magic a little I think.
With a small family and no children, the spirit of Christmas is kinda boring. lol. I do decorate and put up a tree. I just don’t go overboard with the lights anymore.
We have so much snow here that it’s difficult to have lots of lights and decorations on the ground. It’s usually a few lights, a wreath and a little reindeer. If I had more stirage space, I might have more decorations but I’m limited to a few boxes for Christmas decorations. Thanks for the awesome chance to win.
At our last house we used to put lights along the roofline and in all the trees. But last year we moved to a new home on a dead-end street . . . it’s funny how that has taken off the “pressure” to put up lots of lights. LOL! Now we just have lighted garland on our door & railing and then 6 lit topiary-type pine trees around our garage and entryway. I do LOOOOOVE homes with lots of lighting and we often take long drives around town to enjoy them all.
Just a few lights outside…along the roof line of the house…and that is only if dh gets around to it!
No Christmas Lights : (
He has no Christmas spirit and he wouldn’t put it up.
Maybe, this weekend I am going to try to put up the Christmas lights on by myself.
I have already decorated our Christmas tree and baking goodies!
oooh glitter!!!! love it! i normally dont do the outside of the house but the inside is all decked out!
we don’t use to put many light outside here in Italy; just some light on a tree in the garden .
we dont decorate outside much
We haven’t had a tree the last few years (space issues) so I do a wall of wreaths. Very festive.
We don’t have plugs outside of our house – so we do wreaths with big red bows on our windows and door.
We always decorate our house on christmas. In Germany that’s not so popular, but my family and I love it!!
We don’t put lights outside the house, because our house is mostly hidden by trees, so no one would see them. We do love to decorate inside though!
We hang red and green lights with clear icesicle lights outside and decorate inside…you can see on my blog…alenahoneycutt.blogspot.com.
We just put a few lights at the back of our house (no outlet at the front). And fairly moderate decorations inside-the tree and a few decorations. My husband is not as much of a Christmas fan as I am. Of course if we put our 4 year old in charge of decisions about decorations our house would look exactly like the Griswolds-he loves lights.
Oh, this is getting better and better. Last year we did the Griswold’s. This year we only decorated the inside. Too busy this year! -Alisa
I don’t put any lights up on the outside of the house because I am lazy. No, seriously, I am a single parent and between trying to get the house decorated on the inside, the christmas shopping, the baking, crafting and other “stuff”, decorating the outside just isn’t terribly important to me. I do have a bit of decoration hanging on my front door, and a super tacky neon green lighted wreath from Ikea on the bathroom window, but that’s it.
We usually do, but we’re in Turkey now and the house is concrete- not really good for hanging lights! =)
Wow that is a awesome 12 days of christmas.
We have 2 strands of lights up in our BBQ area and around 10 decorations there too.Summer christmas in New Zealand.
WOW! I’ve been without internet access for a few days and lookie what you’ve all added!! Amazing!! No, we are not like the Griswalds… however, when I am able to decorate (unfortnately not this year) I have tons of stuff for the inside!! I love this holiday season!!
It is an ongoing battle every year – my husband would “Griswold” it up all over the yard if I didn’t reign him in – I like a few lights/decorations. ‘Tis the season! Thanks in advance…
Oh I was hoping the glitter would make an appearance!! Wishing, hoping that this one comes to me
we live in an apartment, and at most we’d put a string of lights around our window (on the inside).
No we are not Griswalds… I do the inside up but nothing outside. I have enough on plate to worry about that but I do enjoy all my neighbors lights!
You guys are sooooo awesome!!! No we don’t light up the outside of the house, too much work lol. I can barely get hubby to go get a Christmas Tree each year! But I do appreciate those who put lights up outside, it looks gorgeous all decked out! There’s a house in the neighborhood that is gorgeous each year, And I’m bummed that this year, they didn’t decorate!
I LOVE GLITTER!!! LAST RETREAT I WENT TO EVERYTHING I BOUGHT WAS GLITTER!!!!
We still live in an apartment, so we’re not decorating outside…YET. I definately love to see lights on other people homes. So festive. Can’t wait to be able to do it one day!
just the basics outside, nothing crazy. my neighbors have to outdo each other every year:)
no Griswold decorating here…we like simple and pretty. Thanks for another chance to WIN!
Love EVERYTHING. No decorations outside but decorations in almost every room in side the house. Is it wrong to put a little tree in the bathroom ? : )
Outside icicle lights on house, seasonal flag, wreaths on the windows and door….simple decorations. Our neighbors have a billion lights.
Would love some glitter! Linda C
we don’t ‘light up the outside’… BUT we sure lOve to gO see Others that light up outside! what holiday fun it is! so… come on ‘griswalds’… do it so we can go see!
I grew up with decorating the outside of the house being a BIG deal – you always went all out. I’ve been married now 3 1/2 years and this is the first time we’ve lived in the same place for two Christmas’s in a row (even though last year we spent 2 weeks of Christmas visiting his out-of-state parents). We would totally decorate the outside, but decorating an apartment balcony just isn’t as fun!
all that glitters is yummi
Oh yes!!!! My husband go crazy with lights, signs, all kinds of fixtures in the yard! My girls just love it and I think it a WONDERFUL that he does it for the kids
THANKS for the chance… just LOVE your products !!!! MY FAV
We used to deck our house up but not iwth lights which is a surprise. Now that I have my own family we think that it is just best to keep it simple and focus more on the blessing of the year.
Thanks!!!
I am not in a decorating spree. Not at all. I think living away from our family makes these little things less important… Dunno. Thanks for the super exciting prize!!!!
We used to line the roof lines with lights but my husband fell this fall and is in a sling from having rotator cuff surgery…. no lights this year.
We have our token string of lights on our house, which to me, almost looks worse then no lights at all, but I have no Clark Griswold for a husband, LOL!
Yes, I love Christmas lights–but we still have to put ours up. Hopefully we’ll find time to take care of it this weekend.
The inside of my house is decorated to the hilt. But I can’t get dh out on the ladder to do the outside. sigh
Yeah for Pixee Stixs!
And I don’t consider us to be like the Griswolds…in fact we haven’t even put lights up outside for two years in a row. 
I do love Christmas and I decorate inside the house, but I don’t think we quite go overboard like the Griswolds.
YaY! Pixee stix!!!
I love to decorate our home inside and out! For the outside we have a wrought iron nativity arch with lights which my mother’s friend made a few years ago. And I *loooove* putting pineboughs in the window boxes! I’ve bought some big, inexpensive plastic ornament balls and I put those in there. As for the inside; I have some lovely garlands that I put up in a couple of rooms and I hang some red berry wreaths by the windows. Haven’t put too much up yet so far, to be honest.
Nope! Not at all! I keep it simple and we are in an apartment so there is nothing outside (although…even when we lived in a house I didn’t do stuff outside). I like it to be simple and pretty!
How exciting the pile is getting
We have decorated the outside but not all the time. Now the inside of our house we go all our!! I love decorating and have sooo much fun doing it. I just hate taking it down and putting it away lol.
We just keep it simple, small lights outside, and candles. That and the snow we are expecting makes the perfect picture for us.
This year was the first year for outside lights. Just hung the icicle lights, snow on windows and ribbon around poles. My neighbors yard is lite up!
We usually put some white icles lights up outside with some reindeer but this year it didn’t happen! Work and weather have put a damper on this season so far!
We typically do, but this year time & schedules got away from us, so all I have outside with lights right now is 2 of our house lights are blue & green & I have 3 small Primitive trees that are lit up.
Now, my grandma can pretty much keep her local electric company in business for the year!! There ain’t an inch of yard, house, tree, window…you name it that’s not covered in lights or has a lighted figure on it. I think the rest of the neighborhood goes dim when she turns her lights on. LOL!
P.S. 10 PIXIE STIX too???? (drool…)
We decorate along the porch and front window. No Griswalds here
Love the glitter! We decorate our house with a few wreaths and put lights on a few bushes.
Nope, we’re the people that drive by to gawk at the Griswalds. We never seem to have the time, maybe one day when we retire… (ha ha like that will happen before old age and senility hit) We do love to get in the car and go look at the lights.
Oh, I love your glitter!
So we’re not quite Griswaldian in our decor but we do enjoy it!
Yep, we decorate here! The hubby just finished the outside lights and we’re getting the tree up today. A little late but with a very very very active eight month old we finally decided that a large live tree wouldn’t cut it so we borrowed my folks four foot faux tree.
I only hang a few icicle lights up!
Season’s greetings from the Grinch’s wife–how many outdoor lights and decos I have is all up to me! Since I’m scared of anything other than a short stepladder, it’s never come close to the biggest show in town. (But I’m always rather proud that of it anyway.)
Do we put up outside lights……..Can’t you see them from where you are!!! He who has the most lights wins ya know
OMG, glitter, glitter and more glitter!!!!!!!!!!! No, we are not the Griswolds, more like the Kranks, we hardly have any decorations up at all. Maybe we’ll hang some liights on the palm trees (we’re in FL)
YUP we are to a limit. We have icicle lights around the whole house and a scene of santa clause on a sleigh and four reinders and cannot forget about Rudolph he leads the sleigh with the others. He has a special red bulb on his nose to light up the way lol. We also got two 6 1/2 foot santa’s one at the front door and one in the middle of the yard waving. I made these all myself and my grandkids love them.
Woooohooooooo !! Glitter glitter glitter !!! ME ME ME PICK MEEEEEEEE !!
We don’t decorate the outside of the house, and with 55mph winds yesterday, I was glad! We put up our tree and some garland and a wreath and a few little decorations here and there, and that’s about it! I did put up a smaller tree in the kids’ playroom for them this year too.
The hubby puts up some lights, but not as obnoxious as the Griswolds.
I love that movie!! But sadly, no lights outside…just a wreath and simple tree by the front door! Thanks again for another great giveaway!!
totally perfect !what can i say more ?
We seem to alternate every-other year. One year we don’t want to do anything, and the next we do a lot. Even so, we still keep the outdoors to a minimum – I subscribe to the philosophy that more is NOT better. We have a few white lights in trees, along the fence, on a cross, and along the front of the garage.
We have only started putting up lights on the outside of the house over the past couple of years. The kids love it however haven’t done it yet as its been too wet at the weekends.
We LOVE Christmas lights! And DH loves to buy more every year!
I suppose I’m a Martha Wanna Be, but nowhere close in reality. Just some garland with the old fashioned colorful lights around the front door, colorful mini lights around the bushes along the front, Santa, and two old fashioned candles on either side of the door. Oh, and a spotlight shining on the door. Pretty simple, but colorful!
We normally just put icicle lights up around the edge of the roof of the front porch.
No, not too much. Just simple lights outside but inside every room has a tree. Got to love my Christmas trees!
*drool* ohhhhhh pixee stix are so beautiful!! I like just looking at them , lol!
no, we do not decorate outside, just our tree with lights inside! we have a puppy that wants to inspect everything so the tree was enought this year!
ohhhh yummy glitter….
unfortunately we don’t do outside much… hubby doesn’t like getting on the roof.. I actually did it last year, but this year we waited too long and now theres snow, so it’s too late.. but I decorate LOTS inside
We don’t decorate the outside of the house much….although if I had my way we would be like the Griswolds……but, I am not the one that does the decorations outside. My job is inside, and it takes me over 3 hours just to put my tree up with lights, and then another hour or so to do the rest of the decorations……
Ho, Ho, Ho, This would make a verrrrry, merrrry, Christmas!
Glitter! Sparkly, scrumptious, beautiful and yummy!
We have a Christmas lantern in the Philippines called a “parol”. It’s a star-shaped Christmas lantern that reminds us of the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus. =)
And, after the first one we bought for our little family got destroyed because of the wind, we finally got a new one this year and it’s lighting up the outside of our very own little condo.
Happy holidays! Can’t imagine what esle you can add to that already amazing, luscious giveaway! Yum!
You bet we do ! Our house looks like a lighted candy land. Lollipops, candy canes, gum drops…lots of colored lights. We love it and so do the kids.
Winning a pink paislee prize would be like winning a game of candy land
LOL Happy Holidays all.
Hey, what a great giveaway!
We don’t actually celebrate x-mas here, in Israel, but i’m sure that if we would, i would probably decorate my housr, from inside and outside!
(and i muxt mention again – i will happily pay for the shipping of the prize if i’ll be the winner
)
Love and the wonderful goodness you are giving away!!! We decorate outside and in.
I would love to do more inside of course with stuff I make but its hard to make time!!! I have ideas but not time. Thanks for chance to win!
If it were up to my children, we would decorate like the Griswolds x 10!
Hoooly Moly, that prize is really getting goood:D
No, we do not light up outside the house at all actually. It’s not really common in Norway, where I come from, or in Denmark, where I live now. I prefer lightening lots of candles inside our house
i live in an apartment so we decorate the inside like crazy but always seem to misplace the decorations the next year.Would love the glitter to decorate a banner!
love the glitter!!!!!
we don’t have lights on the ouside of the house but we put lights in the chrismastree and lots of candles here in belgium
with the exception of this year because we’re travelling – we do decorate and go all out! my dh refers to the inside as “santa sneeze”. so many santas!
and the outside lights get better every year – next year I’m adding a moose!
Ha, the griswolds are our neighbors so we are a bit conservative with our lighting! Love the pixie stix, glad to see them included!
I am more of a simple girl I nice big wreath on the door and an urn full of christmas greens on the porch will do the trick
This is the first year we have had a Griswold house, we even have a big blow up Santa. I think its pretty tacky, buy my kids love it, and that is what matters!
I love Christmas and the look of lights flickering and trees a trimming but being Jewish… don’t get to decorate.
10 tubes of glitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I win those, I can decorate the whole outside of my house with glitter. For now, the lights will have to do. We switched to LED last year. They look a little blue, which takes some getting used to, but “green is good”.
We (by we I mean me) put a few lights outside and a few decorations inside. I usually wait until the coldest day of the year to put them up and I live in Canada. We are in no manner like the Griswolds.
I love decorating outdoors, but simple is much prettier, in my opinion. I just can’t bring myself to buy any of those blow-up monstrosities on the market. I prefer to keep it to icicle lights hanging from the roof, net lighting in the bushes, pine garland on the porch, candles and wreaths in the windows, and a wreath on the front door.
We don’t do too many decorations anymore. We just put our lighted snowmen and manger scene.
We used to put a few lights outside and then linet he walkway to our front door with the plastic candy canes. However, the past few years I’ve only decorated the inside … and I put thing(s) in each room.
I love the lights, but i live on a flat, so i tried to decorate as well.
Hmm….Griswolds? not so much! More like the Grinch- just kidding!!!
Love the Christmas season, but I’m so lazy about decorating…and I’ve never done lights outside because my electric bill is already high enough every month! But I do love to look at nicely decorated homes and outside lights. Speaking of lights…those pixie sticks are putting a twinkle in my eye! Love this giveaway!
Definitely not big on the outside decorations. I LOVE to look at them, but they are WAY TOO much work!!!!
We host our family’s Christmas on even numbered years, so on odd years like this one, decorating is pretty scaled back. I put some little decorations out and we put wreaths up outside and inside, but we won’t have a tree this year.
I love decorating the outside of my house – lots of lights and we have some Santa lights and a sign that says Santa Stop Here!
Not too much outside, but the inside is full. Is five Christmas trees too much?
Love that family. Wish I had the energy and MONEY to decorate the crap out of my home. This year we have no decor outside. We are moving twice in 6 moths so we have a bad attitude about it you could say. Sad right. Love that movie though and hope to be more like that in 6 months when we finally settle into our crazy life.
WOW !!!!
love the tubes of glitter!
mmm not really douable, but the inside will be over the weekend!
We only light up our roof line with some new led’s we got this year. Since we are in a newer development we unfortunately have no trees to put lights on. We’ve been here 3 years, but just can’t afford trees yet! We don’t want to risk stressing out our few bushes with the weight of lights, so just the roof and indoors it is for now. At least our neighbors only have little trees so we aren’t too out done! Our inside is nice and holiday-ish with smells of baking and decorations.
We decorate inside here, not on the outside…
We just bought our first house, so this being our first Christmas together, we have decorated very minimal outside, but we do have a few wreaths up and spot lights
we’re more miserly, like the grinches or something. very few decorations, the tree is up and there are a couple of strings of lights on the house, but nothing fancy!
LOL! I would if my DH wasn’t such a cheapo! :p He throw tantrums every time electricity bill comes!
if it weren’t for having kids…i likely wouldn’t decorate at all…not a grinch…just not my thing. we do put up a tree and some additional garland/wreaths inside. as for outside…we have a lit wreath and some garland – but not much compared to our neighbors…
Oh my goodness! I adore glitter!! We don’t put lights on the outside of our house but I have the inside decked from top to bottom! It makes me so happy to come home from work to all the festive decor!
I have lived in this house 20 years so I really decorate inside especially. I have a Dept. 56 village that I put up in a big bow window and also in my dining room. This year I have had a Korean 9 year old visiting student helping me and we have had alot o fun.
I usually go a tad crazy with the decorations…inside, but this year we moved into a new house a week ago. So needless to say, my decorations are a bit scarce. Hope to get my abode in the spirit soon!
I don’t get to do a whole in my house but my mom always goes all out even after all of us have left. I do not think that there is an inch without any decoration lol.
Still wishing and hoping that you’ll pick me!
Since I’m going home for Christmas (i’m in college), most of my stuff is there. We don’t have a tree here either, but I just put up some of my favorite ornaments that I have with me on a string on my wall. It looks pretty cool! But we have the music going 24/7!
we light up the tree and have little fairy lights in the trees in the garden..no one can see our house from the street but we can look out the windows and see the lights so. thanks so much for the chance
Totally Griswold’s at the Lala house. Each room has its own theme/color scheme for Christmas. And I never have enough decorations.
Love the giveaways….thanks for offering them!
My husband’s in charge of griswolding the outside (all LED’s). I’ve been busy decorating inside, and of course about 1/2 the decorations are hand made by me!
i’m sorry to say i dont
We light up in the christmas tree in the front window and hang some simple fairy lights along the front of the house….not so Griswolds here.
We do just a bit. Usually, we have a couple wreathes and light of the tree or sometimes the eves if we are feeling ambitious.
The outside of my house is decorated with a big tree (a real one!) with lights and decoration; and my door with a quilt nativity! bye bye!
We use clear white lights on the outside of the house, but few decorations!
We put up just enough lights to make the kids happy & make the front of our house cute. I’d so love to have more Christmas decor, but it’s just not in our budget. Neither are Christmas presents most years. But we make do & enjoy keeping things simple this time of year.
Well, we’re not quite as crazy as the Griswold family but if I had my way we’d have a TON more out in the yard. We put out a lighted nativity scene, some trees and reindeer, snowmen and candycanes and a few other little things. I love how excited my girls get when they see the house all lighted up.
My eyes are sparkling as bright as your pretty glitter at this contest! We do “deck our halls.” Outside we have icicle lights, some light up reindeerand a giant light up snowman. Indoors, a real tree in the living room and a small tree in each of the 4 bedrooms. Each tree tells a story – we have our “coiuples” ornaments on our tree, my mom has lots of Grandma ornaments on hers, and the kids’ trees reflect their hobbies, characters they like and places they’ve been. We also have our collection of Christmas music boxes and bells throughout the house. It is so cozy and merry!
we do, there are 2 buxusses next to the frontdoor, and these will get some light! Although i don’t think it’s strictly christmas, I would look nice all year round!
LOVE THAT GLITTER!! We didn’t get to decorate much this year, inside or out. The tree is up and I have a few of my Christmas time goodies that are out, but with both of us working the overnight shift right now, it just ain’t happened. Also, knowing that I will get my hours cut after the first of the year, we have decided to use it for gifts instead of making the electric bill higher this year.
No, we don’t have any outdoor Christmas lights. It’s summer here in New Zealand and the sun doesn’t set until almost 9:30pm. Since I go to bed at 10pm, my Christmas lights would only be on and visible for about 30 minutes.
I do most of my decorating through Christmas cards. I make new ones each year and save a sample as well as saving special cards from Christmas’s past. Then they are strung through the house.
When one is older with families on their own or passed away the Christmas spirit lives in memories.
Yippee!!! Glitter!!!
Don’t do much outside other than a wreath. I do more inside.
OOH!!! Pixie Stix- What a great prize!
No, we are not like the Griswald’s yet. I would love to, but I can’t get hubby to put up too many lights. He prefers not to climb on to the roof. I’m hoping that our little girl will start to ask Daddy for more lights when she gets older. He won’t be able to refuse her
No, but I love looking at the houses that do! I took my kids for a wander last night before bed to see some of the houses around our neighbourhood that have been decorated. I love that people have made the effort to get in the spirit, and my kids loved looking at all the lights too
.
I wish my answer was yes, but my dh just wont do it.. hes an “all or nothing” type of guy, and wont put any lights up unless we do the 2nd story… problem is.. we live in Northern Canada and its like -40 out with the windchill… so maybe one day I can convince him to hire someone to do it.
Thanks again at the amazing chance to win these lovely prizes.
WOOHOO, look at that prize pack!!! I am definitely an outdoor lights person. Love to see it all lit up!
We are the house on the block that is lit up and everyone drives slowly by to see, my Husband loves his lights to match and be neatly hung, and of course I do the inside all decorated even the bathroom, this is one holiday we enjoy. . . .
Ours is no Griswald but DH does put some lights around the rooftop and we have a big blow up snowman in the yard. Happy Scrappin! A~
We havnt gone crazy this year becuase dh had a bad accident in august and he’s still recovery! me I have vertigo so this year no outdoor lights! Next year we are going all out and making it a griswald christmas hohoho
So much sparkle!!!
Thankfully, we are NOT like the Griswolds. We only put about 8 strands of lights on our Christmas tree, inside, but nothing but wreaths and (inside) window decorations.
YEAH! Pixee Stix
woooww!!! it’s getting better and better!!!!!! hope to win it……
Yay! and glitter too! Brilliant!
oh gosh…….my dh is a light geek! okay so one year (this was so embarrassing) he had so many lights on our house that we had to have them plug in on 2 sides of the house otherwise they kept kicking the breaker off…….we were like the house that shone for miles….and it was so over done and *tacky* if you ask me…so whenever ds was gone i’d only turn on HALF the lights! (one switch, instead of both!) {{LOL}} i finally fessed up after a few months so he only puts up a nice amount now!
we have those new bright ones that are so pretty all around the house, and then on 6 trees or something like that! enough to make him happy and not too much that i am embarrassed to turn them on!!!!! *giggles*
We put up a few decorations outside of the house, but we mostly decorate inside.
YIKES!! ESPECIALLY LOVE THE MAGICAL FAIRY DUST! HAHAHA
This year we have family coming to see us so we are decking the halls both inside and outside!
Jacquie
What an amazing giveaway!! Our outside decorations are pretty simple. Some icicle lights, greenery and bows and that about does it.
Oh yes we do!!! We love looking at Christmas lights so each year we add a new item to our outdoor decorations. We have icicle lights hanging from the guttering around our house, lights through-out the gardens, in the tree’s and on the window’s. My two girl’s love it. Each night we sit out the front handing out candies to the people who drive by to see our lights and wish them a very merry Christmas. Yet another favorite tradition of ours!! xo
We just go with lights on the tree – mostly because we rent.
WE have outside lights …. but they are incredibly restrained — merely white icicle lights across the front of the house.
Oh yes, we have. Only inside, just because it makes it look like it’s so warm inside when it’s cold outside.
We decorate very simply on the outside of our home. But we love the gliz on the inside.
Glitter tubes ! Oh my – love ‘em !! Just not physically able to put up house lights outside, but I do so enjoy seeing them on other people’s homes. I do have a mechanical train that runs around my Christmas tree, though, that my 1-1/2 year old grandson is in love with.
Glitter!!!! That’s my fav! We, normally, light up our house like crazy the day after Thanksgiving and decorate the inside and have Christmas music blaring and cookies… however, with a newborn it’s been a little tougher to find the time to do it all. So, my little Savannah and I enjoy Christmas music when we can between naps and pretend we have lots of sparkly lights.
can’t wait can’t wait!!! =)
We have outside lights around the frame of the house – nothing like the Griswalds, but pretty! We also have a small light up Nativity under our palm tree – which really sheds “light” on the true meaning of Christmas.
This is such a fantastic contest!!!
Yep, my DH and our neighbor are even worst then the Griswalds. Our house is one of the crazy ones that is synchronized to music with over 100,000 lights on it. My DH starts hanging the lights up the weekend after Halloween and it takes about a month to get them all up. I know, crazy huh?!?! lol
Cada día me gusta másssss!!!!!
We do put up lights, but just around the house and fence. Great prize package, love everything PP!!
The inside of my house looks like the Griswold’s but the outside looks like Scrooge.
Actually we live in an apartment so we don’t decorate…we are more like the grinches…we celebrate christmas but just don’t decorate as we think it is more for the kids…I think of our household with my fiance and I very grateful that we have each other and our love….
This is a quote that I love:
Todays quote: The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
No Griswold Christmas here! We have some lites up but we keep it understated.
No outdoor lights here, just a wreath on the door and inside decos.
We do not put up outside holiday decorations because we live in a condo. I wish we could though!
Love glitter at Christmas and yes we light up the house each year, although hubby has to be nagged – oops I mean ‘talked’ into put them up each time
I am truly a pathetic light person. We put up a few, but our house has crappy electrical circuits and more than a few strands trip our system. I happily enjoy the neighbors!
We had every intention of turning our new home into the Griswold Family Christmas Spectacular, but with the passing of our sweet dog Hailey, we’ve decided we’re perfectly happy with our Christmas Tree glowing through the picture window.
I love to see the outside of a home decorated…but I don’t like being out in the cold to put them up and take them down {I hate to see lights on homes in the Spring..can we say Lazy, people.} But I love to light up the inside. I love to have white lights on in the living room and all the other lights off…its so relaxing!
YES! We decorate outside and this year we decorated early. We even have a fully decorated tree on our porch. Love Christmas!!!!!! The loot is awesome!
Not so much on the outside of the house (except for some lights), more so on the inside! I just can’t stop buying decorations, this year particularly!!!
When we put up lights outside, they are very simple. I’m not into gaudy and loud!
what a fabulous giveaway, wowzers… honestly, with the recession & being green, we’ve been prudent about outdoor decorations (just the outline of the house) and to make up for it, we cruise the neighborhood to go ohh & ahh at everyone else’s
but inside it’s more festive and my fave is having a mini candyland town on top of the piano!
I LOVE pixie stix!!!!! We usually decorate the outside, but this year we moved and haven’t done the outside.
I am an inner Griswold while my hubby is a scrooge. So, although I would love to light up the house like there is no tomorrow, hubby doesn’t like doing it and puts up just enough to at least look a little Christmasy. There are times I wish I was Superwoman and can do everything.
Just a tree for us but we were the first to have those Icicle lights in Ireland!! People knocked on our door to ask where we got them.
Am loving this giveaway! We put up lights for the first time this year, LED ones, and I love it!
I don’t decorate the outside of our house, only the inside. And I have been much more into making decorations this year.
I dont’ know what pixie stixs are!!!! Can I decorate with them?
No outdoor lights. Since my kids have grown and moved out, it is hard to get things out like we used to. Can’t wait to see the finale.
This giveaway keeps getting better and better. As for outside lights. I am into simple elegance with white lights.
What great prizes – they are just getting better each day.
Yes! We have lights around the house, and on our shrubs, as well as candle lights in the windows. It’s so festive!
I love the Griswolds! We LOVE decorating for Christmas, but don’t have lots of stuff outside. Most of ours is inside so we can enjoy it all the time!
I would love to win some great Pink Paislee products. Love the little glitter tubes……..good luck to everyone out there!!!!
We just put a wreath on the front door this year b/c we are trying to keep the electricity bill down so no lights outside this year.
(
did someone say GLITTER?!? pick me! pick me! pick me! LOL
this just keeps getting better. i love the glitter sticks
We also decorate the tree and put it in the front window so it can be seen from the street. We focus mostly on the indoor decorations.
We put a few lights outside, my husband is beginning to soften up about christmas!
Hope my name will be picked out, the goodies are amazing.
Sian

Griswolds? Ha! This year is the first year that my daughter and I braved the frigid temps to hang some lights outside…..
OMG it’s getting greater and greater every day!!
I’ve recently moved alone and will make basic decorations… little (paper) Christmas trees and some other little crafty decorations. Nothing big and blinky!
Where have I been, not reading blogs that for sure
Bussy getting organised for Christmas I believe. What a great give away. I must remember to check blogs again. 
Cherio!
we decorate outside but not all that much…..
Well, we’re not exactly the Griswolds, but we try! We decorate for every holiday, especially Halloween and Christmas. We like a really vintagey look, so lots of little white twinkle lights, snowmen and old fashioned candies like candy canes and big swirly lollipops…colorful and sparkly like pixie stix!
not quite like the griswolds, but we do put lights on the house and have a couple of little lighted deer for the yard. it makes me feel warm and cozy to have that nice little glow.
This is the first year I will be able to decorate my house. I plan to put up some lights and garland, but I won’t be “that” neighbor that blinds everyone else!
No Griswald’s here! I put up a wreath on the front door, but that’s about it. Next year we hope to change that tradition because the girls will be old enough to help me. (-:
we are not big decorators at xmas the tree and a few xmassy projects inside and not much outside.
OMGOsh you folks are amazing!!!! I have two boys but my 20 yr old son
has a serious GF now and she scraps!!!! and I would love lots of PP to
scrap about them with!
Well, we did this year… but low-scale. Just pretty, clear icicle lights and a few plain small lights. Pretty, but simple.
Merry Christmas!
Lisa H. in Arkansas
well we are nowhere near the Griswold’s level, but we do some good decorating!
HO Ho HOW cool–some awesome Pixie stix too!!!! This will be an awesome gift under someone’s tree! (Hopefully mine!! LOL) WE aren’t like the Griswald’s We only have a candle in each window. I just love the classic look of that… Someday when we finsh redoing our house—I would like to have a spotlight on the front door as well to light up the wreath…
we are definately the griswolds lol my husband goes to town on the outside with lots of lights candy canes twinkling lights and snowflakes but its never tacky just bright and so festive he does use alot of staples so he does remind me of clark!!!! happy holidays thanks for this amazing giveaway!!!!
WOWSERS!!! what a wonderful package!!
GLITTER!!!!
I try to be like the Griswolds, but I am too wimpy to climb onto the roof so I just do a few lights on the outside…the inside…another story hehe
Thank you for letting me enter
plain and simple at out house…a beautiful wreath on the door and four belsnickels that DH cut out for me and I painted…topped off with a spotlight. Thanks for the chance for some glitter…love me some PP glitter. It truly is the BEST.
Ooh.. Glitter!
No, from where I’m from we don’t light up our houses which is not fun at all!
I would love to have some glitter for my holiday pages!
We don’t do much house decorating at all – we do those premade window designs that you stick in the windows with suction cups – looks pretty & clean… Griswolds we are not! But I love seeing those houses in the neighborhood!
I love, love, love Pixee Stix!! Yay!
We do not decorate with a lot of lights outside, but I sure do “deck the halls”!
Since we moved to this house, all we have is a wreath on the front door. We used to put up lights around the house, lights on the palm tree on the front yard, some yard sticks, etc. Love to look at lights in the neighborhood though
I’d love to have outdoor lights, but it is just too cold out!!! But I do decorate inside!
We do not decorate with lots of decorations. We have a wreath on the door, a tree, and some small Christmas decorations. Nothing too crazy though!
Wow! Each day just gets better and better! Yes we LOVE to decorate!! I do the inside and my hubby does the outside! We dont go overboard with it tho. Thanks for all the goodies you are giving away!!
That job is up to my dh and he doesn’t go overboard by any means! Just a few lights.
Sparkly glitter…perfect for the holidays!
Not so much like the Griswolds here. Candles in the windows, wreath on the door and a few lights in some of the shrubs.
We have a few lights and our tree in the window. We don’t go crazy.
It is just amazing that you are going these giveaways!!! Sweet stuff!! Lots and lots of White lights….all over outside!! never can have enough!!
I have a few wreaths on the windows, and a few strands of lights ..just enough I think!!
We have red and white lights and garland over the railing. The garland used to have PINK candles hung from it when I had all white lights. Then we moved and the style did not match the new house. So the candles are red now and the PINK ones are on a small Xmas tree in our granddaughters room.
Just colored lights on our two pine trees…. they are beautiful…. most decorations are inside the house!
Pixee stix!!!!! Their really is a Santa Clause!
We do decorate outside, but tasefully done, I hope. It’s just like anything else that you enjoy doing…when is enough, enough??? This is the toughest question yet!
We put up clear, old-fashioned globe lights on the the front & back porches. LOVE this giveaway!
Just a few strands of lights and a wreath on the door for some sparkle and bling.
Not so Much..More of a country bumpkin decorator…Garland and white lights and rustic Christmas stuff…with all the Snow makes it looks even better..LOL! Love Christmas!!!!
I love to decorate outside, but we don’t go overboard. Simple lights, an inflatable penguin Santa ad a wreath.
I live in a NYC high rise apartment so no front yard for us. However, there are trees that line our sidewalk and each one is filled with clear/white lights. It’s so pretty! We also have a huge gorgeous tree in our lobby that greets us each time we come home. We will be getting our own fresh tree for our apartment this weekend. Fun!!
You’d think with an electrician for a hubby we’d have the light show of light shows. But no our home is dismally dark come Xmas eve! Maybe some Paislee glitter will brighten our lives.
I love the Griswold’s! I wish i could decorate like them but alas, no. Outside wreath on the door. On the inside all my trees are artificial. I have a big fake tree in the living room, a small tree in the kitchen, my daughters room (I’ve put one there since she was a baby), one in her bathroom, and a medium size pink one where ever it might fit. Oh, and the fireplace mantel is decorated with the cutest little mechanical Disney Mickey little thing (they pop out like on a cookoo clock & sing). I guess I have a crazy mix of decor LOL
It’s below zero now, which is why we’re not outside putting lights up.
Our town house is lit up.
We put lights every where we could reach. LOL
I’m not Griswold-esque … but I do have a few decorations! A tree, a winter village, lights outside. Love this time of year!
Oooh, glitter!
I don’t decorate on the outside… it’s not allowed in my complex (scrooge!) but I grew up with lights on the outside (tasteful, of course!) and the inside of my house now is very well decorated
I love Christmas decorations and it shows!
This wait is killing me. Must be how my 4 year old feels waiting for Christmas.
We haven’t quite reached Griswold status with our outdoor decorations, but hope to eventually!
We are not like the Griswalds…although I’ve always wanted to decorate like that!
I Love PIXEE STIX glitter!!!
I wanted so bad to “deck the halls” this year outside… but I had surgery and couldn’t. But with the help of my mom and husband… the inside is pretty cheery! I am still working on my husband to get him to hang the wreaths at least….
Back in manila, we use to decorate the windows of our house with garland with christmas lights.
I just jove decorating.. right now, here in a new country, im sot sure if we can do that hihih… have to ask around first.
i can really smell christmas!!! its so near!!
merry christmas to all!
I love to decorate my front lawn but we keep it on the not too much side, icicles, garlands and a huge wreath on the door. We also have lit up entryway christmas trees. For the lawn, we have a lighting snowman and present.
We don´t decorate the outside of the house, we keep it very simple.
Thanks 4 the chance to win!
It’s because of the Griswolds that we don’t go overboard! hahaha. We like SIMPLE…just la few lights on the house. Thanks again for the chance!
Definitely NOT the Griswold’s!
Sadly, we are not decorators. No holiday flair for us!
We do some decorations outside and inside, but not alot.
My mother bought me garland and bows when she last visited so I *had* to put them up, but otherwise my husband and I do no outdoor decorations to speak of at our home…no lights, no nothing.
The tubes of glitter are so adorable. I’ve never seen them in person, so I’d love to have a prize pack with these!
we haven’t put up any decorations yet…too busy with our wedding preps….:)
No lights for us… hubby is waiting for the kiddos to be old enough for to ask for them… then we’ll get all decked out:)
I like watching the movie Christmas Vacation, but I like keeping things simple outside decorating the front door and maybe a few lights outside.
Are you kidding? We just spent 4 hours decorating just the outside of our house last Saturday. Yes, my husband IS Clark Griswald (except he gets all of our lights to work). He also built a custom frame so an 8 ft. light up santa could sit upon our roof. Very fun and all the neighbors love to look at it. Merry Christmas (and lights) to all! Great gifts to win…
We do some years – not as extreme as the Griswold’s but lights on the house and around windows and such. This year we didn’t put any lights up outside and let our neighbors go all out crazy. One crazy family in the neighborhood is enough!
Now inside is another story!
Chriatmas lights not so much but i love decorating inside so when you walk in youknow its christmas.
I would love to decorate the outside of our house like Clark Griswold, but have not done so in the past. I have tons of decorations, but not many places to put them, especially with little hands around to grab them. I think it would be fun though and the kids love it.
No, we don’t have lots of outdoor lights. We love to decorate the inside with tinsel and pretty decorations and lots of chocolates.
definitely outdoor lights…not quite as elaborate as the Griswold’s but pretty nonetheless
Ooooooh, glitter! I’ve kind of gone crazy with glitter this year, so it would be great to stock back up again!
No, we do very modest, simple decorations outside. Inside is different, though, and we have a lot of pretty decorations in here.
This prize package keeps keep gettin’ better and better.
Egads, pixie sticks! I’m drooling
I definitely love lots of decorations, inside and out! My favorite thing to do is drive around and look at all the lights and nativity scenes!
MY husband use to decorate the outside with lots of lights but was not able to do it last year or this year since he had total hip replacement surgery on both sides (fear of ladders now). He does however still make the “tree shape” with lights using the flag pole down by the lake. It looks so pretty all lit up! The kids just love it!!!
we try to put up at least lights outside on the house… but so far it’s been to cold outside. Hopefully I’ll get them up this weekend! we do take a hayride around our neighborhood to look at all of the chirstimas lights!
Glitter, Yum! I like sparkly things, even my house. We aren’t Griswolds, but we do have a few lit wreaths and garlands outside.
Last year we did a lot of decorating for Christmas, lights around the house, and lots of stuff set up inside. This year it seems we just won’t get to it. We don’t even have our tree up yet!
Most of our decorating for the holidays is inside. The only thing I have outside is a simple wreath hanging on the front door and a holiday welcome mat. The only similarities between myself and Clark Griswold is the fact that I’m also a proud recipient of the Jam of the Month club.
OMG It just gets better!! Love it all…………….although we don’t put up many lights…..DH insists that we all have to sit down and watch Christmas Vacation……LOL I love it (although I won’t admit that to DH) my favourite bit is the cat wrapped in thebox!!! LOL
I used to light up the house but we haven’t for a couple of years. I really miss pulling up to a lit up house. Think we need to start that tradition again.
We don’t decorate too much on the outside (it’s too cold here!) but I sure make up for it on the inside! Love the glitter!
We live in an apt so we don’t do any outside lights but we do lots of decorations for our 2 year old and our two foster kids! They eat it up! Dorky lights all crooked in the window… a thrill for 2-2 year olds! ( :
We do some icicle lights around the porch eaves and garland around the door and lighted reindoor that our dog loves to bark at through the whole holiday season.
Love the stamps….great line…can’t wait to see if i get it for christmas..
Loooove me some glitter!!!! =D
Love all that glitter!!
Luv the glitter! No I don’t decorate the outside of the house, only the tree. However, I do like looking at houses who do.
Hi, we do simple outside lights but very pretty.
I’m just giddy… I love this stuff!
yes, outdoor decorating is a must, but not quite the griswold’s!! a little sad this year after selling our house and moving into a duplex that really isn’t suited for outdoor decor…meaning my husband might have a serious accident trying to get lights on this place…so we will just stick to our tree this year.
No Griswold decorating here…we like simple, tasteful and pretty. I would LOVE to win!!!
We decorate inside…minimal outside…just some lights.
Oh we definitely put the lights up every year! That’s one of the funnest parts of Christmas is to see the children light up “literally” that their house is nice and bright so Santa won’t miss it!
Oh definitely so! The house HAS to be lit up so that Santa can see it and drop off lots of presents!!
oh my gosh I have got to try that glitter ! all that glitters is good!
I decorated the door and the pots outside my house! I would like to add a sprinkle of glitters to everything!!!
No outdoor lights for us….I’m hoping hubby will put them up next year!
we put up just a few lights on our porch and two little trees with lights. Inside we have our tree and then a pick and choose a few things to put out. I don’t put out everything I have because it’s not up for long and then you have to put it away again. It’s fun to change it up and use different stuff each year.
We’d like to decorate but we are really no good at the outside decorations. They end up being covered with a snow bank, blowing away or blowing a fuse. So we don’t have too many.
Thanks for the chance to win – the 13th is my birthday so I’m feeling lucky!

i’d love to have lots of outdoor lights and stuff, but it seems more often than not my husband is injured come Christmas time and it can’t be done (hmmmmm… i wonder if he plans it that way??) I did try one year to put them up, and I fell off the ladder!!!! and the lights fell down! I haven’t tried since
A clean kitchen. Best gift ever!
Merry Christmas every one!
I love all that glitter!!!
We don’t go overboard we do outside lights and inside just what we put on the tree. We keep it pretty simple!
No we don’t, electric bill is too high. Wish we did though, love looking at the lights & my 8 year old gets upset about our house not sparkling.
We have lights on an exterior shrub and around the garage . . . but nothing like Clark Griswold’s power-sucking vision. ha, ha My husband loves that movie.
nooooooooooooo we just do icicle lights, but the inside of our house is decked out
no not at all!!! ha ha ha! I LOVE that movie!
Pixie sticks are a must have!!! Wow, Santa’s bag must be getting heavy! We have some lights on the outside of the house and shrubs. Not as many as I would like though. Our roof is so high and steep that it is impossible to get up there to hang them.

Nope. Not like the Griswolds. Although I wouldn’t mind lighting up the night (literally), my hubby would be the one stringing the lights…and let’s just say he’s not into ladders.
Thanks for another chance to win! Ya’ll are awesome.
Not at all like the Griswolds. Unfortunately the hubby doesn’t like putting up outside lights
But thats okay because I light it up inside
we add just a few outside decorations but we have Christmas trees in most of the rooms inside.
LOVE THE GLITTER!!!!
Wow!
No decorations on my house.
We don’t do a lot outdoors, Just the front porch and Wreaths around the garage lights. The inside of our home however, is a different story. We have 2 or 3 trees and some kind of decor in every room. I stick to more a more elegant style, although this year I have and grandson so we will have some toddler friendly decorations.
I want to, but the hubby doesn’t want to. HAHA So unfortunately we only have lights on the Christmas tree!
I have always decorated the outside of my house with white lights. I put them on the house and on all of my evergreens in the front yards. I have a few reindeers and a couple of snowmen. I like the way it usually turns out. I just love lights at Christmas.
We dont decorate like the Griswolds, just tastefully, but probably seem that way to the neighbors. Almost noone around here is lit up. There’s some very old neighbors that probably can’t physically do it and next door is a young guy who is never home. We laugh that our house is glowing away while everyone else is dark.
Loving today’s addition! I have one pixie stick but sure would enjoy 10!
Yep, that’s hubby’s job. My job is to nag him to do it so we’re not the last on the block.
yumyumyum!!!!
no decorations outside, I live in an apartement and I guess I could decorate the balcony.. But I spent my money on decorating the inside this year!
If I had a house I would put some lights in a tree and maybe something more.. But I would never overdo it
Love the glitter! We aren’t the type of family that lights up the whole house…err…let me correct that, my HUSBAND isn’t the type to do that!
We have a few light up yard figures, a wreath, and misc other holiday deco, but that’s it!
Love, love, love those Pixee Stix! We usually put up some lights outside, just so we’re not the bah humbug house…but they’re a little more subtle than Clark’s lights!
We live in an apartment so no outside lights for us. But someday I am sure I (meaning the husband) will be putting up plenty of lights. But hopefully not with a staple gun like Clark Griswold!
No decorations outside as of yet, but I love to decorate inside. This year’s color scheme for my mini trees and wreaths is green and purple – I saw this color combo at the craft store and had to incorporate it into my own home. I would love to have some lights outside, but it’s just too cold to get out there and put them up!
Never get around to decorating outside. There is soo much to do just to get all the inside decorating done. I would like to decorate outside though, but tastefully, ya know? lol However, I do love to drive by those houses with a million lights!
The goodies today are even more awesome with the addition of the glitter, btw! Not to mention, that’s a very generous amount of glitter. I really NEED to win this! : )
well, almost like the griswold’s!! lol….not really but we do have our fair share of christmas lights in the yard! gotta love the twinkling lights.
dh never gets around to decorating the outside of our house.
We live in an apartmentbuilding, so we can´t decorate…but maybe some day…!
I fear I have missed the right time to answere today. It’s so confusing with the time-differece.
But I want to commend in spite of that:
No, we don’t light up the outside. We only decorate the inside of the house. Maybe it’s the difference between the american and the north-german mentality. Only some people here put lights to their trees in the garden.
I used to live in an apartment so I can decorate only the inside of my apartment, but I just bought a house! So be sure I will put lights around the trees in the garden.
I love glitter! Haha..I don’t light up outside, had a bad experience cos a short nearly caused a fire once. But it sure is bright and colorful inside.
No exterior decoration, we live on the 7th floor!
No outside lights for us, it has only really become a big thing here (West Aus) in the last 5 years or so. Nearly half way there, thanks for the chance to win.
We don’t decorate the outside – but I tend to put lights around the sitting room window.
no we don’t really decorate the outside.
Gorgeous stuff!
We live in Sweden and it´s becoming more and more popular to decorate the outside or a tree with lights. Santas on the roof is not very common here. But since the winter is quite dark, some lights tend to brighten up your day!
Yippie Yahoo….lovin todays addons!!!
We decorate both insided and outside with lights, pine and berries, enough to be beautiful but not overdone.
We’ve been one extreme to another, depending on how we felt that year. There are Christmases where we barely put up a tree and others where every square inch of our house was covered in something Christmas-y. This year, we have a moderate amount of decorations – a tree, lights outside, and my scrap room is absolutely brimming with Christmas spirit!
we do a very simple lit up outside… only lights in the garland around the front door. very pretty.
linda t :0)
No outdoor lights, everything inside
thanks for the chance!!!
we only hang a lantern (we call it parol in the philippines) outside of our home but we keep a plastic christmas tree inside with lots of lights and decors.
Oh my, 10 tubes of glitter to the mix? Fabulous!!
our condo is pretty tiny–but some how i still manage to put up hundreds of lights! on the tree, in the window… i love the sight of little white lights.
does anyone else use the “squint trick” to see if there are any “holes” in lights on your tree???
No we do not decorate the outside of our house but I think that next year might be a little different. Our 4 year daughter is very upset that everyone else has lights on there house except us.
Thanks for yet another day of great gifts!
Just a string of white icicle lights along our roof line. Tastefully Griswaldish!
We do decorate the outside of our house, but not Griswold style and we have several trees decorated inside!
We decorate our farmer’s porch and that’s just about it. I don’t like too many decorations.
I married the Grinch! I am terrifed of heights so no lights for me! I do have the inside of my house decorated up. Not as much as usual, I have a 2 year old and a new baby.
Of course we decorate the outside of our home (just like our parents did)! We have tons of lights! Love them!
nope…not a single light on the outside. It’s too cold to go out there and decorate. I have the inside done.
We decorate in very country theme, everyone says my home looks like it come from a country magazine.
I am a decorating minimalist! It’s all about family – not stuff!
