The rest of this post is the free tour...
Most years we go to the local hardware store and buy the tallest tree they have. We don't bother having them unwrap it because we put it on the opening of the main staircase. If the tree is misshapen or has a flat spot, we can just put that side in the corner. They are all listed as being 6-8 foot trees and are the same price. This year's tree is the biggest we've ever had and is close to 12 feet tall. It is also larger in diameter than in previous years. As a result I only got about halfway before I ran out of lights and had to purchase more...
In total there are 2000 lights on this year's tree.
On the opposite side of the entry is the poinsettia forest and its reindeer.
And the demi-lune table with its trees.
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care in the living room.
The Twelve Days of Christmas make an appearance below the dining room mantle.
The study is a cozy place on a cold winter night.

There are other decorations scattered throughout the house but none are significant enough to warrant inclusion here.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
