Where in your house do the decorations go? Do you have them in the living room only or do they spread throughout the house?

Lounge & dining room mainly, with a couple of bits in the kitchen and hall, and usually put something Christmassy on the windowsill in the downstairs toilet.
Nothing upstairs

All over the house downstairs. Lights outside. Lit tree in porch. Decorations in hallway. Sometimes a display of about 12 Santa figures on hall table. Sometimes something else.

Main tree in living room with a lit garland and reindeer and small tree ornaments in mantelpiece.

Various lights in kitchen/dining area and second sitting room off kitchen with another tree.

Also decorate dining room.

I go a bit overboard!

Tree and a few things in the living room.

Christmas apron (used all year but more visible) and a couple of Christmas towels in the kitchen. Hopefully some flowers there as well and probably some window clings or similar on the playroom windows at the end of that room. The dining table (also part of that same room) will be nicely decorated for dinner, but not necessarily otherwise.

Crib in the hall. Maybe some paper chains on the ceiling if DD has made them.

DD will have her snowglobe collection in her room, and maybe a few things on her windows.

And DH will put up a few lights on the (birch) tree in the front garden (the birch tree in the back garden has solar lights on it all year).

Mostly downstairs but the DC do have some paperchaind in their bedroom that they make.

Lounge, dining room and front door. I get the jitters over too much "stuff" being out and often put some decorations away in the run up to Christmas because it feels too untidy.
