Well, we are off the grid, too, so we have loads of LED Christmas lights. We hang a wreath on the front of the house as well as a big lit star (more LED lights).
The potted Norfolk Island pine gets dragged inside. It's going on year #3 for this particular tree, it will need a replacement tree started sometime this year so the replacement will be big enough in a year or two when this tree retires to our friend's pasture. There is a small Norfolk seedling under the big one in the back yard so that will probably be potted up for the next tree.
There will be several wreaths made from the rosemary bush. That almost smells like pine, too. After it dries folks can use it to make pizza and spaghetti sauce with. We usually give those wreaths away.
We put several candles around the house so it will be a bit warmer inside as well as seem more holiday like.
