We decided to up our Christmas lights at the compound this year, which meant driving out into the cedar groves of Olde Texas to get greenery. This soon turned into wreaths, yes, wreaths, with Wreath Minor landing on the front door and Wreath Major taking care of overwatch above the porch. Then it escalated, and before you could say Operation Bagration or I'll see you at a knife fight with a 30-30 Marlin there were garlands.
Yes, garlands of cedar complete with bows, and lights. I tell you, it was like something out of a Charles Dickens novel, in Texas. Mrs. LSP takes the credit for this Yuletide splendor but I helped, climbing up on the roof, running wire and humming God rest ye merry gentlemen with a kind of Victorian fervor.
Now? Dallas and the Metrosprawl. Mission? Set up Christmas at Ma LSP's. No rest for the wicked, you see. But what can I say, cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Your Friend,
LSP

Looks great, I love a simply themed decorations, All I have are wreathes in the windows and a single candle in each window.
We've got a lit wreath (artificial) on our apartment door. Everywhere else in the complex is dark and dour. Sigh. Must up with light strands outside next year.
Take a care to check the tree for squirrels and if Cousin Eddie shows up with a rather decrepit looking RV, out the door with you and no fair looking back, he might be gaining on you.
That sounds perfect, Macus. Simplicity is perhaps key.
Beans, nothing wrong with an AL (artificial lit) wreath at all. I used one for the longest time, with battery powered LED lights. Looked good, but we decided to up our game this year. I tell you, turned the place into a veritable cedar garland factory.
Ha! Nice one, Wild.
