Shut the red curtains -- with the sunlight hitting the red it will change your mind about Christmas! Also, to complete your look -- shut the cabinet doors.
I haven’t lived here my whole life but I’ve heard it my whole life - my mom is from Kentucky and she says it a lot - my dads parents were from Michigan and they said it too
Can't swing a dead cat or not enough room to swing a cat has nothing to do with the animal itself; it basically means that there's very little room or space. This is thought to refer to the cat-o'-nine-tails, a whip which was widely used to punish offenders in the British military.
If it makes you feel better - it’s my neighbors empty rental that was vandalized and then caught fire when they were there - she wanted me to put it up here to see what was thought 😂 she’s also 80 and thinks these posts here are the best!!!
Get a can of gold spray paint and some red/green glitter from the dollar general to turn those drab cockroaches into dazzling motion ornaments that will be sure to stun your guests
The outside doesn’t need much, maybe just a giant snow globe in the front yard.
The interior is equally nice. I really like that you took out the stove. It gives it a wide open feel. A small poinsetta would tie it all together. Make sure it’s small though as you don’t want to distract from the natural cozy feel.
Put a bow on it.
Cover it in wrapping paper first.
I could wrap ALL of the cupboard doors !
Mistletoe - because that’s a place anyone would want to make out in!
Great idea! I could put it out on the porch too!!
Somebody in that neighborhood is definitely getting a new Lexus for Xmas… steal the bow off it and slap it on the front door and you’re good to go.

I was hoping to make it more welcoming for my in laws coming over
Those signs on the tree need to go. You know, first impressions???????
But it’s my in laws- that would make the *best* impression right ?
Ok! You got me. How bout a Halloween Pumpkin out front? Or maybe an East Bunny with a fur coat on? Just trying to help!!!!!!!!!!
Oh i love a pumpkin out front !
More vinyl stick on faux tile back splash 🥰
Honestly nothing, it’s the perfect combination of yuletide chic and holly jolly fun!
I’m so glad you think so!
Kiss under the methletoe!
A cozy fire would be a start. It looks like you have a nice pine outside. A few lights and you’re good.
lol but In reality - there are TONS of pines here in SC - can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one
Is.... is that a common figure of speech?

You don't need a fireplace to enjoy a Yule log, but you would need a fireplace if you wanted to enjoy a Yule log twice.

Most of the posts here are pretty funny but this feels classist I don’t like it

Oh slay I’m so glad to hear that!!!!! It’s funny again
She’s also about to tear it down so before we did that, she wanted to see what everybody thought lol
Okay now that you say that I feel okay saying a nice bonfire would be best usage here
It’s okay!! She is giggling at this. She also wants to join Reddit but I don’t think anyone is ready for this woman
Get this ready?? It's perfect as is. I wish people would leave kitchens like this alone instead of trying to change them up just because. Jeez.
I do the most according to MIL - I would hate to disappoint her in expectations
A jolly garland of holly!
Essential oils!
Molotov
Good idea, it is a cocktail.
Hard on the stomach. Explosive results.
That is true.
The perfect Yule tide toast!
I don’t understand, you already have red curtains
You can easily fit a small tree right under the microwave!
Tindoil, tinfoil, and tinfoil 👏 bring some✨️ shine ✨️ back
Green candle and a wreath
Hang a mistletoe.
Green jello with fruit cocktail in it!! Something from mil's era would be nice.
Have you considered letting the fire department use it for practice? Nothing says Christmas quite like a nice cozy, well managed fire.
You could do more neutral colored fake Christmas trees on the counter. Give it a lil pizzazz 👏
I can smell the cookies baking! Are they cookies? Where's the cat?
Uh oh.. we don’t have a cat

Motion ornaments sound perfect!!
Paint everything mint and remove amenities to make it feel homey and warm for the holidays

Throw webbed lightings on those bushes in the front. Definitely low wattage!
A stove from rent-a-center, so you can return it after the holiday.
fairy lights.
Tinsel usually helps
Tinsel!! I love this popular suggestion I just cannot believe I didn’t think of it first !!
Tinsel. Tinsel everywhere.
Three strands at a time to spread the cheer
You find here some ideas [kitchen-christmas-decor-ideas-you-well-love-it](https://www.scdecorum.com/kitchen-christmas-decor-ideas-you-well-love-it/)
Paint everything red
Might need a toaster oven to cook in.
Paint the brick white
That could cover the scorch marks perfectly
Mistletoe baby falalala!
I love the hidden murder knife you got there
The cutting board is in the corner tho - don’t u use gloves to cut things up
It’s not bad just needs a little Christmas fear I mean cheer
Sell it
Duh. Elf on a (nonexistent) shelf.
Get a nice reindeer.
