Deck ‘Em.. C’mon... DO IT!

OK, it might not look very festive, but this is what I do instead of decking the halls at my own house. Our Toys for Tots program is fortunate to have a strong relationship with local law enforcement. We use a small corner of the garage part of the former armory as warehouse space, and the whole place for a couple of days in December. This photo shows our layout, all the toys, stockings, balls, ready to be sorted into gift bags for the kids on our list. The chick in gray is me.View attachment 344204

It looks VERY Festive, because you are doing a kind, generous thing. True Christmas spirit, thank you!

It’s good that the grocery stores do not “recognize” Christmas Eve EVE.. like my kids do. 🤓

That either means they'd be closed
or half the boxes in the store would be opened 🎪 🚴‍♀️

another angle of the tree with the arch greenery this time. Still don't have the angel plugged in.
Who knew an Odd Lots angel would last 25 years with no burned out bulbs?

Damn! That’s festive and inviting!

We’re on our way!

I'm glad you started this thread @HorseloverFat. with the pandemic and being off work
with my back, it's been nice to share some holiday cheer. SIL didn't even comment on
my wife's (her sister) decorations and new tree, she's just that way.

These are our critter trees and the dear are made of topped with tree bark slicing.

Then I found a ceramic church in the bathroom cabinet we just didn't have room to display
so I cleaned off the marble table and added some "snow" and golden pine cones.
Wasn't going to post pics of the new layout as I got 2 more Lemax village additions for my wife for Christmas,
but here's video of them at Menards...

 
Not a problem at all friend! I was “bursting” with Christmas Joy, and wanted to allow everyone with EXTRA “cheer” to be able to share with those whose “cheer” may have taken a blow.

That nutcracker factory RULES... it would be fun to fabricate something like that.

It's all very pretty, I agree thanks @HorseloverFat I think we all need something festive and cheerful. I love my little village too. Cheapo houses from Olde Time Pottery, bought when the kids were little, but I still like them.

Your village is beautiful! I like the way you have it tapering off to the sides
and you got street lights! Cool looking ones too. Was actually a boost
of inspiration for some of the gifts I got my wife this year.
It will be a hodge podge scene as everything else around here is :)
She's already asked me to build some kind of board for it with raised places for pieces.
She has no idea I got her anything related. I don't think...

Thank you. The ones in the back are on styrofoam risers from Michaels, for villages. My Grandma's buffet is the perfect size for it, and she had her own Christmas village set up on it when we were little, so kind of special to keep the tradition.
