Speaking of Fall decorations.....do you decorate for all the holidays or just the major ones? Do you put your Christmas tree up the day after TG? Do you go all out with decorations or just put out a few things to spruce up the place?
For the guys: Do you care one way or the other if your wife/GFSO decorates for the holidays? Do you participate or yell if you have to put up Christmas lights?
Also for the guys: Do you care how your wife decorates the house in general? Or do you get involved? I have to say my ex did have good tastes in house stuff. When he redid our kitchen he did it with all maples cabinets and a maple wood floor. It was beautiful and I would never have thought to go with maple.

I do some things, mostly wreaths, centerpieces, candles, flowers.
I put up two trees, the one in the room we hangout in the most is artificial and goes up early, usually the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The bigger, real tree goes up in December & I have a holiday party and a few of us decorate it.
In several big flower pots at my main entrance I stick pine branches, holly branches & magnolia branches into the soil and I have twinkle lights glowing year round.

We decorate for the main holidays, mostly. We do it more for the kids than anything. I love decorating for Halloween. The scarier the better.

I hope your baby grows in to a little girl who complains bitterly about how your house looks like shit compared to all the other houses on the block.
That's what happened to me x2.
My husband handles the outside decorations and we decorate for Halloween and Christmas. On Valentine's Day, we hang condoms from the trees and plaster the windows with porn.

No, I really was talking about my husband. He bakes bread n' shit during the holidays and gives it to the employees for a Christmas bonus. Then he wonders why everyone hates him.

Nothing says Merry Christmas to a long time employee like a frozen Butterball turkey and a loaf of bread.

In all reality we give cash bonuses and the fuckers thank us by stealing materials off the truck.

As long as it's not wrapped in a pink slip those bastards should be grateful.
