It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our home, that is! I used to put up the Christmas tree as early as September but decided against it this year with typhoon coming in succession in our country. With that, I had to hold putting it up this year until the last week of October.
Here's a peek on what I did with our tree this year:
at night with lights on
full Christmas lights
With our 8 foot tall Christmas tree, I used a total of 9 rice lights. Rice lights are safer to use than the ordinary ones plus rice lights last twice as long. So, I advised you all to get the same for your Christmas tree, hookie?

Our Christmas tree during the day. I do away with our Santa Clause tree topper (pictured below leftmost) and put it on top of a table instead along with the snow man. I noticed most Christmas tree found in shopping malls doesn't have one either lol Another trick up my sleeve is that I roam around different malls before I put up my tree so I will know what's in and what's hot!

I usually recycle decorations from what I had from the previous year and add a couple more stuff like berries, leaves and the spike found on top of my tree.
red theme- 3 santa and 2 snow man
This year, I was planning to change the entire color scheme of my tree to gold but decided against it. Ok, you got me, the reason is that it would cost a fortune. And I think it's not the right time with the typhoon and all but maybe next year? lol
