Oh Christmas Tree

[trailmix 77]

Here's mine.

Wow jodee and lori, those are both very pretty and different. That's another wonderful thing about Christmas trees, two very different trees can both be lovely!

I see you both have gifts wrapped already, that's really good, ours are still in the spare room looking for an elf or someone to wander by and wrap them up.

Yahoo! a picture! Your tree is very cute, the decorations at the front, the santa and nutcracker look like heirlooms, are they family treasures or just look that way?

Thanks, trailmix. And no, those are Target special stocking holders The ornaments are for the most part all homemade either by me or the kids. I didn't break out the fancy ones this year. Besides, I love the ones the kids make, even though my son is embarrassed! He's 16.

Everyone's trees are LOVELY.

I don't dig the upside down ones either. It's just so....not normal.

Post Laura, post!

trail,..that tree is Gorgeousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!, with capital G!!

I know it was hard to see on my tree, but I love the gold at Christmas too, and every ornnament, has some element of gold on it, or is primarily gold, the one exception, is the four hand made baubles with our names on them, that were made in Poland...My favourite are the lil gold angels , that are gold frame, and made with translucent Mother of pearl,...so the lights glow through them, and ....the clear ones made here in Germany,..

lets see if i can get the pic up right this time,.. oh and my tree, actually doesnt have any blank spots with no lights like it looks like in my previous pic,..i think it was just the way the branches were that day,..after i saw the pic, I did some readjusting,...it's funny the things you dont notice until you take a pic,..

Thanks Lori, I did mean to say your tree was lovely too,.....I dont get very Christmassy, no lights outside and the such, but I do appreciate the work people put into their Christmas trees, it really is a true expression of who they are,...

No outdoor lights for us either, my contribution to the street lights is 1 string of stars in the front window, you can almost see the look on the neighbours faces

Lovely decorations jodee! Yeah I changed all of them about 3 years ago and decided I would only buy decorations that I found interesting. I think you probably can't see any of the decorations in the picture but in person they are visible haha

Also what is the story with tinsel the last few years, it's so hard to find? I did find some a couple of years ago and have this one package left, but it seems to be a rare commodity, has anyone else found this?

I'm waiting for my batteries to recharge...lol

I promise I'll get my tree posted before Christmas!!! LOL

That's quite alright, I wasn't looking for a compliment.

Thanks!

I have ribbon lights on the house and twinkle lights on the porch. I loves me some decorations!

trailmix, I've noticed that too. I put tinsel on my doorways inside the house. Thankfully I have preserved them for about 7 years!

I mean the tinsel you put on the tree, the thin stuff. I know which one you are talking about though, because my Husband bought 2 the other day! The kind where it's the dangling tinsel all connected at the top?? If so, we have it here! He didn't realize when he bought it that it was that type - no way to know since the top was covered and it didn't say. Do you use silver? I could send you some!

Oh you mean icycles! I have some at home. Not sure if we're talking about the same thing. There might be different types of tinsel.

*edit to add* thanks for the offer! How sweet of you!
