Christmas Trees 2018

Cheryl J · Dec 7, 2018

There's been a few threads over the years of pics of our Christmas trees. Since we have so many new members, I thought it would be fun to have a place to share them again for those who are so inclined.

I have mine up. It's about 5-6 feet tall, in the usual place in front of the big window in the living room. So far it's got the little white lights wound through it which I love, plus little pinecone ornaments. I'm thinking about just leaving the simplicity of it as is and letting it be.....but not sure yet, it may change over the next few days. LOL

Does anyone else want to share pics of Christmas trees or holiday décor?

I saw that black is the new green in artificial Christmas trees.

My wife loves to decorate for Christmas. Everywhere you turn in our house she's decorated it with something Christmas-ey.

Our tree: (We can't find the lighted star, so a bow will do for now)

I love the trees!!

All the decorations are terrific Bucky, but where's the Nativity?

Cheryl J · Dec 15, 2018

Wow, Bucky! I enjoyed your pics, and thank you for sharing. I used to go all out decorating multiple rooms for Christmas as well, but have scaled down over the past few years. I love seeing what others do for the holiday season, if anyone else cares to share!

An author that I follow on Facebook has a large-ish nativity set and two cats. Quite often, one of the cats will move Jesus out of the way and plop down in the space that should contain the manger.

Pitiful.

When we decluttered 6 months ago and put a bunch of stuff in a storage unit, I never thought putting the artificial tree toward the back could possibly be a mistake. Had to buy this one on eBay.

First time in many years we have put up a tree..

We finally went with a fake tree. Locally they wanted 90 bucks for a real one. Normally we pay 25. So for 60 we got a decently nice one from Wally World. And the best part was I didn't have to wander out into the pasture and find last years tree and get the stand off of it. That's a tradition I won't miss... much.

No pics yet.

Beth, not pitiful at all! It's very cute. One year not too long ago, I bought a small rosemary bush sculpted in the shape of a Christmas tree, decorated it, and loved it.

Ross, very pretty little tree not to mention all the pretty packages underneath.

Glad you're enjoying a tree after so many years.

Vinyl, mine is artificial as well, last year was the first time I've had an artificial Christmas tree, and I don't think I'll ever go back.

It's plenty festive enough, I don't have to deal with having my son-in-law meet me at the Christmas tree lot with his truck and helping me set it up, not to mention spending $50 or more on a tree that's meeting it's death, watering it, and disposing of what was a perfectly good tree.

Love the pics, all. Merry Christmas!

All right, it's as decorated here as it's going to get [emoji38]

I've been collecting Christmas tree ornaments since I was a kid. We get at least one new one every year. My sister sent us one from West Point where her son is a cadet, so that will be this year's. Years ago, there was a huge Christmas decoration store in our neighborhood that had a lot of imported hand-painted glass ornaments, so a lot of them are from there.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve, y'all!
