I have a few christmas stores around me..well not "technically " around me, both about 1-2 hours away, but christmas stores nonetheless!!! Sleighbells christmas shop is in Sherwood, OR and the Christmas Cottage is at the beach in Lincoln City, OR. They are both wonderful shops and I get giddy just thinking of them! Im actually going to go to both on my way to the beach over the 4th of July!

A lot of the ones at my parents' house are handmade from friends. We also have ones from a lot of local stores. Whenever possible, we avoid buying from the big retail stores.

I'm all over the place with stores, but I do pick up something at the Southern Christmas Show every year.

Most of ours have been handed down so, every Christmas, I unwrap them very carefully only to find one or two are suffering from blown glass fatigue and have passed to that great Christmas tree in the sky.

Believe it or not, the last lot of decorations I got were from Ikea!!

I keep meaning to check out the Christmas 365 store that's an hour or so from here. (You'd have to really love Christmas to work there!)

This is a fun discussion! Yes - decorations from everywhere! Pier One has great decorations. Most years, Ikea does have beautiful and very reasonable decorations and lights. Of course - yard sales, Goodwill - all are sources of possible treasures.

We don't shop much, but craft stores (garlands, supplies for homemade goodies) and stores like Target have been good to us. I got two wreaths from The Lakeside Collection (http://www.lakeside.com/home.asp) that I adore, and if you consider it decoration like I do, lots of wrapping paper from Current Catalog (http://www.currentcatalog.com/).

This year I hope to get some ornaments from Bronner's (http://www.bronners.com/). I saw quite a few adorable ones that would suit us perfectly.

For me, when I lived in the States, it was usually Walmart, Target, Lowe's, eBay or Hallmark, and yard sales. I also love making my own :) Now that I'm in Toronto with a lot more variety, I'm not sure where we will get ornaments this year but I think it's going to be very diverse :D

I only buy stuff that I "think I might" need. LOL I also try to avoid walmart since everyone shops there, most people have seen it. So I look for things that are not so common, Or vintage at yard sales and thrift stores.

Dollar stores have great stuff, or I go to neighboring towns and shop so no one has seen it and it's fresh and new!!
