We have the same set up, and we put our live tree in the family room (it's nice having the tree on at night with the fire going). Sometimes I put an artificial tree in the living room, but it's a hassle and only people driving by see it (and we live in a cup de sac, so no one really sees it). But we go overboard with decorating outside. |
I put the tree up in the family room and decorate the door and front porch of the house with lights. I have two large lit snowflakes that I hang in the windows of the living room and dining room that face the street. These are all wired together and put on a timer so that it comes on at dusk and goes off around midnight. |
