How not to decorate for Christmas when selling your home

Many people love to decorate for Christmas.

And a few really go overboard.

My wife is one of those.

She decorates outside first and it takes maybe a few hours.

But inside...

550+ snowmen.

1 live Tree and 3 artificial.

With the exception of 2 bedrooms, we are decorated to the hilt up and down.

It takes a good 2 weeks.

If you enjoy decorating go for it.

If you are selling during the Christmas season DON'T DO IT!

This is just a small sample of how she decorates.

But, if you are selling...Don't do this!!!

Good morning, William Feela not ideal if one is selling, but if the home is not on the market, there's a special meaning to every display.... and a nice feeling for the one who decorated....

Actually the tree makes a ever lasting impression about the home for sale.

Good morning William. Clearly your wife is passionate about Christmas and you are not selling. Merry Christmas.

Great posts. I have come across some cringe worthy holiday decor when showing a home.

OK...on a different subject about decorating, I once walked into a house that I SWEAR had a dead animal head on EVERY wall in the home. What can some folks be thinking...hahaha

I'd love to decorate more, but have had a motivation problem this holiday season. My outdoor lighted reindeer herd are still in the shed.

Your wife certainly has lots of Christmas spirit and it seems that her decorating brings her happiness - and that's good medicine!

I had someone tell me the other night that a mutual friend of ours had put up 8 Christmas trees on their house. I like to decorate, but I just can't compete with that.
