When you decorate your house for Christmas do you have it themed by color and style or is it just a hodgepodge off stuff you've collected through the years?
Personally, I love hodgepodge decorations. Stuff from my childhood, ornaments my son's made, homemade gifts...whatever. I also love people who do big light displays, the tackier the better. Can't wait until Christmas!!

If it's beautiful and/or sentimental, it goes on. Personally, I hate themes that have nothing whatsoever to do with the season or feel of the season-- like my brother in-law's "Star Wars" Christmas tree.

A definite hodgepodge. I collect stockings and reindeer so I have many of those. I'm in an apartment with a cat so I don't have a tree, but I have ornaments that I put in a bowl or just hang on the wall.

i do different themes for different rooms- my kitchen is bright and colorful so i go for more cutesy, sparkly christmas stuff- in my living room i go for a more traditional, elegant look- more earthy christmas colors with a little gold here and there and since i have a blue bathroom i do silver and blue and white christmas decorations in there, etc. etc.
i can't wait to start decorating!!!!

I decorate with a theme and sychronize my lights to music. I also partition my yard with sub themes (such as it is).

I do the room-by-room thing. Dining room is green tree with all white or clear decorations. Kitchen is a tree with beaded apples, grapes, candies. In the TV room I do a Partridge in a Pear tree with beaded pears and a White Partridge on top with clear lights. No tree in the bathroom just grinch decorations.
