I am about to put up my tree. I have to have fake or my cats will climb it and fuck everything all up... as they did last year.

I am making all of my orniments out of paper and stuff the cats can't break too..

Scandinavian Woven Paper Heart Baskets
Glittered Cut out snowflakes
Pine Cones
Scrap Fabric Garland
A big Star on the top

It'll be cute, but I fear that it just won't be the same as having my glass orniment collection on it, which I can't have out if these bitchies are bad. :(


What kind of tree do you get, and what do you put on it?
 
Fake, husband has asthma and is allergic to pine.

Not my choice, but the thing is blue and silver. I let him pick the colors and we have a peaceful Christmas.
 
Ahh, geeze. Thanks a lot for reminding me Starfish. We have a fake tree, and it's in the basement. I don't know how I'm gonna get it up the stairs now. I can't carry it, and hubby's temporarily disabled, and can't do it either. :( Crap. Double crap. I guess it's just going to stay down there.

Well, there's a month to go still, and maybe closer to Christmas we can wrestle it up stairs. *sigh*
 
I just put my tree up today! It's fake, I'm alergic to pine also. Not a whole lot of different ornaments, I'm not really into alot of ornaments on a tree, just a few important ones that hold sentimental value. I like lots of lights and I made homemade red and green bows. (I LOVE that "Department store" Christmas tree look!) :) And of course, I have my angel on top!

I know, this picture is crappy. I just took it with the quick cam. (The digital camera is dead. *sigh*) I'm gonna try and get a better picture tomorrow. If any of you get a chance to get some pictures of your Christmas tree, please share! :)

Christmas Palm

Hubby and I have an Island Dream about palm trees for Christmas and New Years Day snorkeling.

Last year I bought a 5' tall artificial King Palm. Its decorated with just a few lights and piles of sea shells at the base.

Happy Holidays!

I live in the Pacific Northwest.. Did you know it's actually a crime to have a fake tree here?;)


We always have 2 real trees.. one outside on our big front porch. This year it's being decorated with white lights.. purple and silver glass balls.. silver pearl strands.. purple and silver bows.. and a silver tree skirt.

Inside tree is always done with white lights and the Coca Cola ornaments that we have been collecting for 5 years.. We even have an angel that is holding two bottles of coca cola for the top. I made her last year.

We haven't decided exactly what kind we will have.. won't decide that until we head out to the tree farm.. free hot chocolate.. candy canes and MUD!!! woo hoo.. it's almost xmas time!:D
 
Real. DH always picks the best trees. I don't decorate with a theme. I have many ornaments but my favorites are the ones my kids make. I really need to put up another tree just for their stuff.
 
the real thing

In our family its kind of a tradition to go cutting the tree about a week before christmas and trimming it (classic style, red, gold, green) on the 24th.

A fake one? My mother would "fake" a heart attack!
 
Ack!

Real ones leave needles everywhere too quickly.

Fake ones just tend to look tacky.

My wife also hates decorations because working
in a shop xmas starts about mid october and by
december shes fed up of them.

We just tend to buy 4-5 large bunches of flowers,
and put them around the room. Thats the only
decorations we put up.

Oh real, bugger the allergies! (Mainly mine) I love the smell of pine. mostly the ornaments are very old but I love the new ones the kids add! :)
 
Oh my Goodie-ness....

I love this... this is what I live for this time of year. Thank you all for sharing.

I love seeing and hearing all about what others do to warm their houses with the glow of lights, and the memories that come from our traditions and tastes.

This tree is gonna kill me. I've been up all night trying to get this frickin lit. It is not easy work, for one person, and a sick one at that, to deal with a fake tree.

I hollered to Dave while I was in there working....

"HON! Run out to the back forty and cut me down a biggen. I ain't doing this NO MORE!!!!!!" :D

I did want a real tree.... I hate this fake one... but it's back up for situations like these when some of my cats are too young and crazy. I really have to pork the cats up so they're bottom heavy and then they can't climb.


Speaking of cats.. as of Tuesday, Cousin Tyson (soon to be called Tylenol ;) ) is moving in with us, permenently, for reasons to help out Uncle "Just Married". This kitty is actually a good cat and is sweet as all get out, so I really don't mind BUT.....

Yep folks..... that's NUMBER 6. :rolleyes: Half a dozen kitties and a dog that wants a dog. FUCK ME!!!!!!!


Anyway, (watch how fast I can go into denial)
My snowflakes are turning out awesome, but I am sick of waiting for them to dry all of the time. Okay.... back to work.


Keep em coming...
 
We have to get real trees every year because we have high ceilings (15 ft in the room that we put the tree in) so we have huge Christmas Trees (or Solstice Trees, depending who in the family you ask). We mainly decorate them with a ton of lights, including a couple of strands of the big white bulbs wrapped around the trunk (difficult, but the general effect is completely worth it). Then, we have about 40 strands of garlands (all the ones that my parents have gotten over the years, nothing is thrown away, so it is kind of cool to look at) and Bohemian Glass ornaments. Then we add the other ornaments to fill in, mainly glass on the top half, since we have a feline contingent, and a canine one as well. On the climbing the tree front, we learned to buy wire, and at 3 points on the tree, we wrap the wires around the trunk and cement them into the walls with cup hooks (also handy in California for when we get Mother Earth doing the Jive). Another thing we do is not only put the ornaments on hooks, but add firmly tied ribbon, so that if the hooks fail there's something else holding them on. So far, in the 5 years we've used the guide wires and ribbons, we've only lost 3 ornaments, and that was to packing problems on 2, the other one was lost to my father laughing at a Christmas joke on the ladder while hanging ornaments.

That's what my hubby and I plan to do when my daughter gets a bit older. A tree of her own. Like I said in an earlier post, I like that "Department store" Christmas tree look. Organized. Lots of lights and bows. (I drive my husband nuts when decorating the tree. I'll put a bow on, step back and look for a while and make sure it's placement is "just right!" LOL) My daughter is only 2 years old and already has lots of different ornaments that family and friends have gotten her, and I'm sure soon enough she'll be making lots of homemade ones. :) With a tree of her own she can have fun decorating it herself and I can still have my "organized" tree.

Ever since I was a baby, I've been given a Christmas ornament each year. As I got older, I received several as gifts from family members, rather than just one. I lost an entire collection of handblown glass ornaments when my cat decided to wrestle my tree several years ago, and for a long time after that I stopped putting up a tree altogether.

This year I have two. They are reproductions of vintage Victorian metal trees, one is small enough to sit on my desk and the other is taller and stands in the living room. There are no lights but I can hang my ornaments out along with my collection of 'hair balls'.

heh heh.

Hair balls are what I made the first year I decided not to put up a tree. I bought boxes of those iridescent glass balls and asked my friends to donate a snip of hair to slip inside. Then I used a metallic copper pen to write their name and the year on the glass ball and hung them on satin ribbon from the mantle.

I will get a wreath to hang inside the front door for the scent of pine that I miss from not having a tree in the house. I sure won't miss the needles all over the floor in January!

Two fake trees

One 9' the other 6'. Covered with 15 years of hallmark ornaments, I'm a hallmark junkie. I have gas heat and it dries out real trees so fast, but have two Blue spruce in the front yard, 20' and 40' that i decorate also.


;)
 
Mein Tannenbaum ist..

A behemoth of a Douglas fir.. I cut it down every winter, right after Thanksgiving.. It usually stands about 8-9" tall, but this year I went for 10.. The high-vaulted ceiling in my great room (family room) accomodates it nicely.. Today, I get to haul out the six plastic tubs of ornaments and decorations that my family has collected over the years.. Sounds like fun, eh?
 
Well... Here's my tree! I decided to add the 2nd one so you could see the train comin' around the front of the tree. :)

(While looking at these pics I noticed a couple bows that are out of place! Knowing my hubby he probably bumped them and knocked them off. He's really good at just "slapping" them back on when this happens without really paying attention to where he puts them! :rolleyes: I also noticed my poor Angel is kinda tilting to one side.. LOL)
 
One more...

I just HAD to post this pic of my 2 year old Daughter helping decorate the tree. This is the 1st year she's really able to get into the whole "Christmas" thing! The Holiday season has just started and she's already having a blast! ;)

We always get a real tree. I had my hubby get the scrawniest tree he could find last year as a joke and the kids laughed at my "Charlie Brown Tree". They were surprised on Christmas morning,when they came over for the day and we had put up a nicer tree. I told them that Miracle Gro was the best thing I could do for it.(my kids are all grown and on their own,except one and he was in on the joke).
I still have ornaments on my tree that the kids made when they were small and I am now adding the ones the grandkids make in school. Beautiful!!
 
18" of fiber optics and gold glitter

This is the third year for this tree. The previos tree was about the same size but mounted on a music box.
