Decorating the porch

Big A asked me today if I had any ideas for decorating the front porch.  Ooooh no...<br/><br/>I'm the Queen of twinkle lights and I love decorating for the holidays.  But, if I'm the Queen, Big A is the <em>KING</em>.  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.<br/><br/>So, in an effort to reduce the huffing and puffing, I thought I'd get some Christmassy ideas from Pinterest for our front porch.<br/><br/>This is for you, Sire.<br/><p style="text-align: center;"> <strong>Christmas porch decorating ideas from Pinterest: </strong></p><br/><p style="text-align: left;">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...</p><br/><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Pinned Image" class="aligncenter" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/187532771953732489_78ofhO9e_c.jpg" /></p><br/>Redneck style!  Or, maybe not...<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/168462842281629043_FotpiydF_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>Love this one - we could totally do that!<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/31525266112572896_EXnukkVs_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>Lights in window boxes - easy and so pretty.<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/198651033533871143_gAGhwYYN_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>Maybe...<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec5.pinterest.com/upload/244461085993984676_PSJdGfXw_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>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!<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache0.pinterest.com/upload/218987600601833254_IQu5wG9h_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>And I love the idea of wrapping the tree trunks - looks cool!<br/><br/><img alt="Pinned Image" id="pinCloseupImage" src="http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/45669383692175334_yEVibmPM_c.jpg" /><br/><br/>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.)<br/><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fymoho-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B000R3KGP4&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe><br/><br/><iframe style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=fymoho-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B005O9CJBU&ref=tf_til&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="320" height="240"></iframe>
