ᐅ First Christmas in Your New Home – How Did You Decorate?

Hi @Bauexperte,

I can’t give a "like" to this post. You shouldn’t lie.

OK – not exactly one room, but since the birthday:
- Anna doll (singing)
- Elsa doll (singing)
- Olaf figure (singing)
- DVD
- CD

From Christmas:
- Frozen hat
- Frozen boots
- Frozen socks
- Frozen bedding
- Frozen songbook with "piano keyboard" for playing along
- and I’m sure I forgot some stuff

Luckily, the Auchan in Luxembourg was closed when my wife came across the Frozen toys.

Hello f-pNo,

I think, apart from the squeaky noises, our Bella has all of that as well. I even had to reupholster the seat cushions of her seating area with Elsa fabric; she wears her Elsa dress all year round anyway. Glitter everywhere

Do you want to build a snowman ..... ?

Regards, Bauexperte

I think the Ore Mountains need to step up their marketing a bit. I haven’t seen Raachermanneln and nutcrackers mentioned anywhere yet.

She hasn’t thought of the seating set idea yet. I won’t mention it. She doesn’t have a dress (yet), but she does have matching hair clips, a headband, bows, and that kind of stuff. Once she has a dress like that, it’ll probably be impossible to get her out of it. There are already arguments in winter when she doesn’t want to switch from dress/skirt to pants before going outside. Well – she’s a girl after all .

We still like to build a classic snowman – Olaf (he’s kind of funny, though) aside. However, where we live, the chance of having enough snow is maybe 10%.

My parents have the classic ones. My wife doesn’t like Räuchermännchen, and we don’t own a Nutcracker ourselves yet. Well – maybe later. The Räuchermännchen would be my option for “upgrading” next year. <-- as revenge for the threatened string lights .

Would you like an alternative?

My parents chose the traditional way. My wife doesn’t like smoking figurines, and we don’t have our own nutcracker yet. Well – maybe later. The smoking figurine might be my option to “upgrade” for next year. <-- as payback for the threatened string of lights .

You wouldn’t believe how much Christmas stuff we have. When we married, I brought one large box. My wife probably brought about ten large boxes. That’s why we agreed years ago on a ban on Christmas decorations as gifts. Now everything is sorted into A, B, and C quality. B and C items haven’t been touched except for moving over the last two years. Those will probably end up on eBay gradually.
