Is that a "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" proposition?

The worst part about Tree In A Box is that you have to fluff it. My tree is probably on it's last leg now. I would get a real one, but since we're never here for Christmas, it's not feasible.

I have a small living tree, but it's all brown in the middle :lol

[Sunshine]

Well...where's yours? :lol

If you look at the top half of the tree, on the right side you see a white ball ornament....here is the front of that ornament.....

just don't turn on the fan.

[mrsmaalox]

Those are some pretty nice trees folks! I don't think I'm willing to post mine; all the comments I've recieved are like, "Gee Mom that's the ugliest tree I've ever seen" and "Why can't we have a pretty tree?" and "Maybe let's don't have a tree this year"!!! LOL!!

Thanks! My daughter and boyfriend did most of the work.

[Sunshine]

just don't turn on the fan.


LOL...you're not kidding! I was trying to turn the light on while we were decorating it, and accidently pulled the "fan" cord :wow

[samikeyp]

Nice MichiganMikeyP!!

Thanks bro...now if I could just find Sunshine under my tree. :eyebrows

[MoSpur]

Those are nice trees.

[Sunshine]

Thanks bro...now if I could just find Sunshine under my tree. :eyebrows


It's too cold up there....even for Sunshine!

[samikeyp]

But it wouldn't be if you came up here! :)

[Sunshine]

But it wouldn't be if you came up here! :)

True, I'd melt all the snow.

Nice tree, btw. I trust you'll be putting a lot of gifts under it for Mrs. SAMikeyP? Or maybe SHE'LL fill it with gifts for YOU!

[samikeyp]

Both! :)

[mrsmaalox]

Thanks! My daughter and boyfriend did most of the work.

Her boyfriend or your boyfriend?

[Sunshine]

Her boyfriend or your boyfriend?


Mine. Sorry...shoulda clarified that!

[mrsmaalox]

Mine. Sorry...shoulda clarified that!

Hey, I'm just nosy anyway!

[SpursWoman]

Here's ours. Next year I'm buying the 11 foot tree ... this one looks wussy in our *new* house. :lol

[CuckingFunt]

You people are all crazy. It's way too early for a tree.

[SpursWoman]

It's so much work ... I like to be able to enjoy it for a while before I have to pack it all back away. You should see the rest of my house. :oops :lol

[CuckingFunt]

It's so much work ... I like to be able to enjoy it for a while before I have to pack it all back away. You should see the rest of my house. :oops :lolThat makes sense, but it just seems wrong to me.

Growing up, my mom and I always waited to get the tree until about the 21st or 22nd and then we kept it up until closer to the 10th of January. Probably a lot of why we ended up with the funky looking trees. :lol

http://www.boomspeed.com/sweetc/xmastree.jpgI love that star.
You guys do have some pretty trees. I don't do xmas trees for several reasons but I enjoy looking at others.

[mrsmaalox]

Growing up, my mom and I always waited to get the tree until about the 21st or 22nd and then we kept it up until closer to the 10th of January. l

I think that's a really good time frame. I'd love to do it like that but the kids just get so anxious!

[THE SIXTH MAN]

You people are all crazy. It's way too early for a tree.
Well generally people do start to put up Christmas things the weekend after Thanksgiving.

[easjer]

Ours are up. I'll get SFIE to take pics. The downstairs tree has to be up on the end table to keep it out of the dog's reach, so you'll get to see the hideous blinds we have yet to replace on the upper windows (sad thing is that we have the blinds. . .). The tree in the bedroom is pretty though less sentimental.

The better pic would be of the garlands we put up (fireplace and living room) -- doofuses that we are, we did it backwards, so we've got a charming cord hanging down the wall at one point. :D

[marini martini]

I love my tree, I've had it up since before Thanksgiving, because of our full houseod company. I've been collecting old ornaments for the past 20 years. I keep miraculously find sweet deals al thrift stores or flea markets each year. Will try to post a picture before Christmas :santahat

[JoeChalupa]

Here is ours. Looks better when lit. Ain't much but my kids love it and that is all that matters to me.

not if you're in the Phillippines! people there start they're Christmas decorations as early as november. :santahat

[Sunshine]

Growing up, we always put our tree up on my mom's birthday....December 12th. But since I had kids of my own, I generally put the tree up between Thanksgiving and the first week of December.

[Sunshine]

Hey, I'm just nosy anyway!

Me too :p:

My boyfriend doesn't have kids, so I think he's excited about having my kids around to decorate for this year. He bought my daughter her own tree for her room and she absolutely loves it!

[Shelly]

I have a rose poinsettia and two small ones that have lost most of their leaves already :oops. That's the extent of my decorating!

[SpursWoman]

I do fake poinsettas..... :lol

http://www.boomspeed.com/sweetc/point.jpg


And some trees my dad got in El Salvadore right before I was born (the wall hangings):

[marini martini]

Nice SW, Your daughter must be thrilled. Congrats on the blending of your family. I still need to decorate my mantel with my Santa collection, and put up my Christmas snow globes, but don't feel like putting up my nativities this year :(

[Slydragon]

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p132/margarita_hour/2007_tree005-1.jpg

WoW nice tree, Save me time, I will print this out and put it on my wall. All my gifts will go under it and we will have dinner by it. When Santa comes to drop off gifts and says WTF!! I will walk in and say listen fat man it makes ME Happy.

Come Xmas day and the family comes over they will be like WTF!!! and when I pull in a extra table and 3 chairs where the other tree would have been they will be in aww and be Happy.

As a final touch I will put color changing LED key chain behind the picture and I will be Happy.


ps. Nice tree

That is so sweet! My kids are always asking for their own little tree & like a Grinch the only thing that goes thru my mind is "Oh great! Something else for me to clean!"

[Slydragon]

No tree up yet but her is my daughter small battery operated one.

THAT COUNTS!! :tu

[samikeyp]

I am with the Funt on this one but we had to make an exception in our house. With the wife working at Michael's, the holiday season is her busiest time so we put them up Thanksgiving night because with our schedules, we may not have much time after that.

[ploto]

Growing up, my mom and I always waited to get the tree until about the 21st or 22nd and then we kept it up until closer to the 10th of January.
I don't wait quite that long, but I do keep my tree up through Epiphany.

I put out my Advent stuff first.

[CuckingFunt]

I won't be having a tree at all this year. Again.

It sucks. My parents finally gave me all of the really cool vintage ornaments and decorations, and I never get to use them because I'm always the one who has to travel.

[JoeChalupa]

i always put up our tree during Thanksgiving weekend.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Same here.

Same here.
Do you all have artificial trees? Because real ones will get so dried out before Christmas, especially with Thanksgiving so early this year.

[JoeChalupa]

Do you all have artificial trees? Because real ones will get so dried out before Christmas, especially with Thanksgiving so early this year.

Yup. We've never had a "real" one. I don't want to have to deal with the mess and the fire hazard thing has always made me leary.
But I do like the mulch that comes after Christmas.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

Do you all have artificial trees? Because real ones will get so dried out before Christmas, especially with Thanksgiving so early this year.
Yes because of the fire hazard that real trees present. I'm not home enough to maintain a real tree and make sure it always has water. :lol With an artificial tree I just set it and forget it.

If you promise to tell a friend I'll send you a set of steak knives.

Maybe he'd rather have the spray on hair!

I bet Ron Popeil has a tree that decorates itself.

[spurs=bling]

We bought a real tree so we just put it up yesterday.
I took this one without flash.

and this one with the flash on.

How long does everyone keep their trees up?

We usually take it down after New Year's Day.

We aren't putting up a tree because our dogs would probably knock it down :lol

[Ginofan]

We aren't putting up a tree because our dogs would probably knock it down :lol

I hear that. My cats are absolutely horrible, we've had at least 4 ornaments break and the tree has only been up for about a week!

[mrsmaalox]

I have a big dog who has never been interested in the tree. But my cat--I didn't even bother to decorate the bottom 1/3!!
