This is too funny, dh and those darn green decorations.
Ok I posted a while back that dh wanted to put green in our christmas colors when I use purple and gold. I told he could do that and I was making plans for such. Well a few years ago dh wanted a fiber optic tree so I got him one. A little 4 ft one. So anyway the other night he said I'm going use MY tree for MY green decorations! LMAO!

HaHa problem solved - now you
HaHa problem solved - now you don't have to worry about those damn green decorations!!
I know caregiver! Dh is so
I know caregiver! Dh is so silly sometimes. LOL I love but sometimes I have to step back and laugh. I went to see my mom yesterday, she lives down the road, and we had a good laugh b/c dh seems to think I don;t let him have anything in the house. Which is why he threw everything out in the yard the other day. My mom said wait we were with you guys when you bought your furniture and he picked it out and bought it without talking to you! We just laughed. I swear dh needs to start remembering things.
I will say this PD - there
I will say this PD - there were decorations that DH had from his last marriage and I fought not to have them on the tree I even went out of my way to do different color themes every year - 2 years ago I found a box downstairs in my basement with his decorations - they were awesome and I realized that some were from his childhood - also some were of SS when he was younger - now BM is very crafty and she I am sure made some of the decorations with SS in them - but I then realized that these decorations were part of DH and SS and I had to lay aside my attitude of no way never on my tree - so last year I decorated the tree in an old time Christmas style and used DH's decorations as well as new ones that I bought to add to the tradition of the Kids picture in the decorations - I also found out some were from his parents who died when he was 12 - I have to say out of all the 6 trees we have had together - last years was my favorite and I can't wait to put it up again. SS also loved seeing pictures of himself when he was small and DD got to see pictures of him when he was her age as well. Even though it bugged me in the beginning of our marriage to put up these decorations I discovered last year that by combining the two I did not have BM in our Christmas but I had DH, SS, DD, DH's parents and Me in the Christmas.
So maybe just let DH put one of those hideous decorations on the tree and secretly know that by sacrificing that one little spot you made him happy - plus he may be so happy you can get those stockings for the boys. I don't know how handy you are but when I was about 12 my Aunt who was possibly the most wonderful person on Earth made 17 stockings for our family that year - I still have it 31 years later - I don't use it anymore because it is so old but I love looking at it and remembering helping her make all of those stockings so maybe Your can buy some felt material and some yarn and make your own by gluing on things that the boys like and I have beads on a christmas tree and mittens with beads on mine and my initials!
PS about the furniture I don't know what to tell you - DH sounds like he is going a little crazy right now - lol
Caregiver I told dh he could
Caregiver I told dh he could put the green on the tree but he changed his mind when I got the little tree out. He said he wanted to make it all green and nothing but green! Yep that is what he said. LOL I usually put my disney ornaments on it but this year He will use it for his green.
I hear ya on those decorations, lucky for me dh moved out of their home and bm gave him nothing not even his clothes. SO I didn't have to worry about bm's ornaments. However dh's mom gave us a lot of stuff she had when your dh left her right after we got married. Now she seems to think EVERYTHING we have was a gift from her. :? Even the angel I had for the topper. (I bought that) Anyway she broke and I bought a new, a crown this year I love it.

It would be much better if it were the kind of green you use in brownies
Oh nevermind-that was college days thoughts.

Yep not limited too.

DH had all the ornaments him
DH had all the ornaments him & BM had together. They were hideous. BM has a thing for angels & fairies & cherubs...all kinds. She lacks the ability to decorate with taste. If it's an angel, fairy, or cherub it fits. WRONG!!! Being I'm the one who decorates the tree, I get to decide what goes on it. Now, if there were ornaments DH really liked or that had meaning for him, I wouldn't dream of telling him no. They may end up on the back inside of the tree, but they will be on there. LOL!
After a few years of not using any of BM's ornaments DH finally suggested we just throw them away. 1/2 of them were broken anyway. I did pick out a few to pack away for SS & SD to have someday & put them with their things in the attic.
For BM's love of angels, we put a star on our tree.
I have heard of the pickle
I have heard of the pickle thanks for reminding me. LOL
Your DH is so enthusiastic
Your DH is so enthusiastic about Xmas! My DH acts like I am sending him to the principal's office for detention when I mention it is almost time to haul all the stuff out and get festive!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO hahaha
Silly my dh is a very special
Silly my dh is a very special man indeed. He LOVES to decorate, he always does the outside and goes all out but this year I don't think we can as a lot of our stuff quit working last year. He was disappointed the other day when he said something about it. I'm going to try to buy a few strands and see what happens. I LOVE that he is so into things like this. We do it as a couple together.
get naked and tell him he can
get naked and tell him he can decorate you with glitter and tinsel since he's bummed about the other stuff that doesn't work anymore:) see how that grabs him
My SO isn't at all into the
My SO isn't at all into the indoor decorations but he's quite particular about the ones on the outside of the house. And to my *extreme* surprise, he was seriously interested in getting one of those systems that synchronize your lights to music. We don't do a whole heck of a lot now (but it has to be tasteful, classy, and perfectly proportioned to *his* eye!), and those things are expensive. And this is a guy who is just *not* into either frivolity, or impressing the neighbors. But he was genuinely interested in spending a big chunk of cash we don't have, just to have some xmas light fun.
I thought it would be totally cool, but we simply can't afford it. Fun to think about though.

Perfect, PD! My so has a
Perfect, PD! My so has a little tree for his game room. The room's done up like a pub with a pool table, darts, and lots of neon pub signs. I gave him a little fiber optic tree last year, and he fills it with silly bar-type ornaments. It makes him happy, and keeps them off of my tree
Yes that is what I thought
Yes that is what I thought when he said somehting about the little tree. Now dh can have it just the way he wants it!
There is NO WAY I can do
There is NO WAY I can do mimimalist! I'm just not that kinda of person. LOL
I have seen pics of that kind of stuff and it is really pretty but I have a lot of stuff that I love. I have a santa collection, a village collection, and other things that I HAVE to display.
Two trees..hmmm, I'm thinkign
Two trees..hmmm, I'm thinkign of that this year. The only reason I get mad w/the holidays is when i don't money to spend like I want lol.
I've had a fake tree...it's medium sized but I place on the glass table-and it has all those tacky christmas decorations from the kids (and some nice ones)...that they love and are dear to my heart..but they are 9 and 11-I'm ready for a tasteful tree lol.
Was talking to bf last night about it-said I wanted to get a real big tree this year-and he could go w/me to chose it and we would decorate it nicely. Then the boys can have the small tree w/the pre-k ornaments
This year I'm looking fwd to Christmas-more then last year-at a good place.
