Patriotic Decorating for the Holidays - Military Pride

Okay, so I promised DH I would send him pictures of the holiday lights and that they were going to all nice and patriotic. I wasn't thinking. Our house fricken keeps looking like the 4th of July no matter what I try to do. Oh well, hope he likes them and it is Patriotic.

I will. Almost got the 4th done. I toned it down. I used some Red White and Blue but not everything like originally planned. It was just looking crazy.

My DH's grandma put up red white and blue lights the first Christmas following 9-11.. I think it's a neat idea!

I have had a white tree for a few years. I use blue lights, red, white, blue and silver ornaments. It is a small tree, but what it means to me makes it beautiful. I do it for all our men and women that are fighting or us. Maybe when DH gets back next Xmas we will have a real tree, but I am still keeping my red, white, and blue one!
