What does your Christmas tree look like?

[erialc 2]

Well I am pretty lazy at that whole decorating the house thing and I get later and later every year much to the protestations of my kids....so this year viola we have a tree and some lights so much earlier than ever before!

 

When do you guys get around to doing the xmas decorations if you bother at all ?

Nice tree Claire, and the mini elves as well.

Very nice Claire! I have a picture of our tree, which I'll post later.

 

In my family we always bought our tree in early December and put it up and decorated it on Christmas Eve. That way we'd have it well into January when it is all cold and depressing. My wife's birthday is in the beginning of December, so in her family they always put the tree up on the weekend closest to her birthday. That is what we did this year, and we'll probably leave it up until the first weekend in January.

 

The cats have already had a go at the tree, pulling almost half the lights off as well as a dozen ornaments. They also really enjoy drinking the water. <sigh>

Cool erialc! Love your christmas tree! And the boys look like Angels too. Very misleading! hahaha

 

It's my favorite thing about christmas. Of all the things it's decorating the Christmas tree that I love most about the holiday. The last one I bought was a 15 foot tall christmas tree. That was a blast to decorate. I was living in a huge loft with 20 foot high ceilings and with seven others. Ah good times.

 

Now that my sister has a nice family of 3 boys and tons of animals I don't bother decorating at home. I just spend a few days with her and her talentedly decorated home.

 

I'll see if I can take some pics of her talent and post'em here.

And yes those lil faces are very misleading....Don't know about elves Rik...more like imps

OK, here is the tree prior to the cat attack . . .

 

 

It is about 7 feet tall, and reasonably thin, which is good as we don't have a huge amount of space in the living room.

Well, here is a program to make your own christmas tree. It is ~ 2MM and ten years old. Not quite as nice as Aurora's with the dancing presents of course.
