See My Christmas Tree,

[phideaux]

Show us your Christmas tree, I love to see them ,

This is the best tree we have had in many years,

Because , my wife and I are just too unhealthy and old to do a 8 ft extravaganza...so we decided to down size and , do something we haven't done since our babies were little,

Go out in the woods, and fence rows and get us a small , live tree.

Now , she says that this tree is so ugly, that its beautiful....she picked it , I cut it, and put it in a bucket of gravel,
She decorated it..

She says ..it's her Charlie Brown Christmas tree...
Hey, the family laughs at it, but they love it too.

I haven't had my own go out in the woods and find the right tree in a long time.

Thanks, Angie. That's Lucy, our very sweet and stupendously awesome Husky.

This is my $5 tree from the thrift shop. Just added $10 worth of lights, ornaments are a combo of --from thrift shop vintage and ours bought or made while traveling out West.

 

[Sentry18]

This is not actually mine, but I like it!

 

[katlupe]

They are all beautiful! We don't have one.

Lovely trees!! I have to "zip tie" plastic ornaments to our tree to keep the cats from knocking them all off.

Yes, that's the "feline of Christmas" phenomenon most cat-owners experience. We have that issue, too, and have taken to wiring the tree into a corner to prevent them knocking the whole thing over. Again.

We put up a small table tree with ornaments that are cat-proof. Surprisingly, they have behaved pretty much and haven't attacked it (yet) this year!

I fought this pre lit pos for 2 hours trying to get the lights to work before I gave up and strung lights on the middle area where the lights didn't work.

Yep That's a cool tree!

We never put our tree up until after my birthday. It will be going up Sat or Sun depending on how I feel.

Well let me be the first to say Happy Birthday!

Thank you!! It's no fun having a birthday right before Christmas.

 

[backlash]

Nice tree but what's the deal with the rat on top of the book case?

Maybe a pet?

 

[Chris]

This is the first year I cut my own tree. We just bought an acre of land up in the mountains and if I plan things right it will supply me with a tree every year for the next several years. This is also to biggest tree we have had for christmas at 11 feet tall. The kids love it.

That's a cardboard rat that was part of some Halloween decorations many years ago. Everything got cleaned up and thrown out but that one rat and my wife suggested we leave it up to see if anyone would notice. Our walls have axes, spears, swords and other unusual things on them which usually attracts people's attention; they miss the rat.

Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday, dear Terri
Happy Birthday, to you!

My baby girl's Birthday is the 21st. We decorate the house for Christmas sans the basement family room. That is the NO CHRISTMAS birthday zone. That's where we celebrate her special day, ON her special day, so none of the pictures have Christmas decor in them. We have also made it abundantly clear that combination birthday/Christmas gifts are forbidden, as is using Christmas wrapping paper on birthday gifts or consuming of holiday treats. Want to see my wife go into aggressive Momma Bear mode, violate one of those expectations. I am pretty sure that the budget for her birthday gifts is a bit higher than the other kids too.

Happy Birthday @Terri9630!
