I'm a sucker for a good light-up decoration at Christmas time. I have slowly been collecting pieces from Department 56 and even collecting Walmart's holiday collection of houses and buildings.

I didn't know they had all kinds of other-named collections.

Do you like to follow trendy decor ideas? Or do you still with traditional Christmas decor? Or do you do your own thing? Lately I have been into more of the farm house look with the buffalo plaids, and red, silver, and gold ornaments.
