How many years do you use the same motif, ornaments and decor scheme for Christmas, or do you change each year?

I think tradition helps build strong family values and relationships and I can't imagine putting up a tree without at least some of my older ornaments and decorations. However I do try to update a bit by adding at least one new ornament each year.
You might also consider adding an extra tree (if you have the room) use your old ornaments in one room and create a new theme in another room.

M$Nowadays -- and back when we lived in the old house -- we rarely make major changes to the decoration. Sure, we might do more or less depending on how spirited and/or overworked we're feeling that year, but it's mostly the same -- a tree in the living room, wreaths in their places, garlands in their places, mantle decorations, caroler figurines, etc. (We go a bit all-out, always have.)
But sometimes we'll change up the theme of the Christmas tree, for instance. This year, it's decorated in brown and gold to match how we've furnished the living room. It used to be blue, purple and red (the ornaments, that is.) But it's still the same kind of tree, and the general theme of the ornaments (both the traditional kind and flowers/other stuff like that) is the same.
