Decorating the porch

Big A asked me today if I had any ideas for decorating the front porch.  Ooooh no...

I'm the Queen of twinkle lights and I love decorating for the holidays.  But, if I'm the Queen, Big A is the KING.  He loves it when it's all done.  But like most kings (if my history lessons and historical fiction books served me well), Big A blusters and grumbles his way around the castle.  And nothing brings on serious bouts of bluster more than decorating for Christmas.

So, in an effort to reduce the huffing and puffing, I thought I'd get some Christmassy ideas from Pinterest for our front porch.

This is for you, Sire.

 Christmas porch decorating ideas from Pinterest:

We have two artificial trees that we usually put on the porch, and I don't know if I like the color - maybe just white lights...

Redneck style!  Or, maybe not...



Love this one - we could totally do that!



Lights in window boxes - easy and so pretty.



Maybe...



Could easily make some big planters with pine boughs.  I did this with my Mom and the kids a couple of years ago and they were gorgeous!



And I love the idea of wrapping the tree trunks - looks cool!



So what do you thing King A?  Something you could work with?  Or am I gonna end up in a tower waiting to have my head chopped off?  (I hope not, cuz I'm rather fond of my head where it is.)
