alisoncooks Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 We have a tree in our living room (all gold/white/silver/glass) and a smaller "kid" tree in the hallway (that holds all the craft ornaments sent home from preschool and church over the years). 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a picture of our kitchen window: We were hoping to go yesterday to get a tree, but we just couldn't squeeze it in. the next two weekends are going to be packed. I hope we'll get a bit of time to go. It's just three of us and our son is 17 so it doesn't need to be a big production like when the kids were little. However, we pulled all the Christmas decorations out yesterday. My youngest two grandkids are here today having a jolly time looking through the stuff. I wish I was better at decorating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Beautiful trees! I cut back on decorating last year, because we're really just not home a lot for Christmas anymore. We'll definitely put up a live tree at some point, although they seem to get smaller every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This tree is completely random but I love it. We bought the tree in Mexico and it’s been in several other countries since then. Can you find Teddy Roosevelt? An ankle bone from a sheep in Kyrgyzstan? A skeleton from Mexico? The Eiffel Tower? An AT-AT? A traditional piñata? A San Francisco street car? 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Our tree is up and has a few decorations on it (because our daughter pushed for it) She wants to do more so I guess we'll get them down this weekend.

The tree is up and I added some lights to the prelit section that burned out. The skirt is under it and the cats have claimed their sections underneath the tree. It's not decorated yet though. Outdoor lights are mostly up with a few more to go tomorrow night (ds is working today so he can't finish until tomorrow). I'm slowly putting up little decorations around the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We downsized our artificial tree this year to a smaller diameter (same height). I kept texting DH from the big box store: "How about this one?" And all the ones I thought would work were ALL as big as/bigger than what we already had! Surroundings definitely affect perception of size!

Cecropia Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is my parents' tree, probably bought in the 60's or early 70's. I've always loved it, and Mom gifted it to us when we moved away, along with many of her vintage Hallmark ornaments. I actually hadn't put it up the last couple of years because of babies being too little (we still had a tree, just really small/not so nice). It was a real treat for the older kids and I to decorate it this year. The best part is that the tree hasn't bothered dh's allergies much at all, as we were very careful to vacuum each piece and take other precautions before setting it up. He's had trouble with artificial trees brought out of storage before. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjffkj Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 We picked out a tree and decorated it yesterday, I just don't have a picture of it yet. I'll try to get one later today. I think it is my favorite tree to date, but that may be because there is a weeping angel on the top of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I like my tree, but this is my favorite Christmas decoration this year. Best advent calendar ever! (So far I've opened Harry, Luna, a thestral, and Tom Riddle.) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 For the first time in our married life, we have a fake tree. I got annoyed with paying each year for something I toss out after a few short weeks. I wonder what ds will say. He has not seen the tree yet. I bet the thought process will be something like: "Oh, mom & dad are old enough now to have an artificial tree." 😄 It is compact and a tad shorter than what we usually buy, Can't post pics because I am not home right now. But please keep all your pics coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The tree is up. I'm still looking for empty spots that need an ornament and I usually spend a day or two tweaking their placement. I had a helper before I even finished. Also, we have a Major Award displayed in the window (desk size, not full size). 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Well, I started putting up the tree. I’m not in the mood yet but the kids are so excited so I’m trying to power through. I got the lights done last night so the kids could start decorating today. Then my daughter was curious how the bulbs worked and pulled one out from the middle of the tree. I have replaced it with three times but can’t get that strand of lights to work anymore! Then the strand above it quit working too. I’m really hoping I can take them off without undoing all the lights! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCB Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I love all the trees. We haven't been to get ours this year yet. I remember the first year I was on the boards someone posted the most beautiful photo of their tree. They did some kind of photographer magic on it and put 2 photos together or something but it was the most beautiful picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
