Show off your Christmas tree!

[pratt55]

I love decorating x-mas trees and I love seeing other people's trees. This year I am only doing one tree all Disney.

Lights off


Lights on (thanks to Disney1978 and bf I added some fiber optic lights this year and will convert all my lights next year to them.



Random shots







This year's favorite new ornaments came to me from some wonderful guys who went to Disneyland Paris. Thank you Capt Phoebus and DoomBGI :love:.





I can't wait to see everyone else's tree pictures.

I had to take these pictures with my cell phone, and then e-mail them to myself. I need to get the memory card slot on my computer fixed. It drives me crazy that I can't take pictures, and load them on MiceChat the normal way. My regular camera takes much better pictures. Almost all of my ornaments are Santa ones. I have a few sentimental ones, and Disney, but most of them are Santas.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

My family hasn't put up the big Christmas tree yet, but last weekend my boyfriend and I decorated our little 18in tree.



Sorry, definitely not that great of a picture; it was taken from my phone. You can see my Disney pins hanging in the background. [=

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

We also have a Disney tree! It's the only way my husband could talk me into multi colored lights. So, we started our ornament collection last year. Not nearly as impressive as your's; Pratt! You have some beauties there.

Here it is in the dark...


Lights on..


here's our tree skirt...it wasn't on yet when the pictures were taken.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

BA...is that a Santa Claus theme on your tree? My father would love that. He collects santas.

Over the years, we have gone from very large real trees to a large artificial one. I had all sorts of different types of ornaments on my trees over the years. When we moved to the house where we live now, there was no room for a large tree, so I downsized. It was at that point that I gave almost all of my ornaments away, except for those given to me, and a few sentimental ones. There was a time that I had two trees. One was my "Santa tree", and it was very small, and sat in my computer room where I spend most of my time. The tree in the living room was a small artificial one. The last few years, I didn't put up the Santa Tree, I just had a small tabletop one. This year, I bought the tall skinny one in the picture. I wish that I had a clearer picture. A lot of the Santa ornaments were made by me. There is one special one, that is badly worn away, but it hung on the Christmas trees of my childhood.

Yes, the theme is Santa. I usually put a star on top, but for the new tree, I decided to go with Santa. The majority of decorations in my house are all Santa themed. I do have a lot of snowman decorations also.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

So many lovely trees. I'm really trying to get myself in the holiday mood, but I'm failing miserably. My husband has been out of work for 6 months now, my best friend has spent most of the year in and out of the hospital and this time she's been 'asleep' for 2 weeks and is failing. We have no family here, my in laws are back east and my parents are gone. But I have a 6 year old son and I really want his holiday to be special. I'm going to keep looking at all of your photos and try to psych myself up for a tree at least. Thanks everyone for sharing.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

This is my Parents tree. I have not decorated in at least 15 to 20 years, but the ornaments used to be mine.

I painted this one when I was a child.


I love penguins...so, my mother always bought me penguin ornaments for the tree.






The ball above this one used to be mine form the one time I put a tree up....


They no longer have this tree. The new fake tree is prelit and appears to be more real....I'll have to get more pictures when I visit.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

Here's some pics of our Christmas tree: (see attachments)

Sorry for the horrid quality, maybe I'll take some with a real camera later... These are cell phone pics, BTW. The first picture is with house lights and tree lights on, second is only tree lights.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

This is what it looked like last year.



But this year we have two new dogs, that like to terrorize the living room, and I could just see the tree and my ornaments, some of which are almost 50 years old, hit the ground and shattering. They aren't puppies but they think they are.

So this year I went super simple. I got a 3 foot tree, and just put some of my penguin ornaments on it. (Yes, I have hundreds of Christmas penguins. )

I sat it on a board on one of the chairs in the living room, partly because I have no where else to put it, and partly because I'm hoping the DOGS will leave it alone. Although the chair I used does belong to the oldest dog of the three. She usually sleeps in that chair.






The tree topper... for the time being.





Some close ups.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

So here's our tree for 2009:


Big is never big enough when it comes to Christmas, so this year we went with a 12'er.


It's done in a fairy theme with tones of purple, lime, gold, and red.


The topper is my mom's favorite. (sorry for the blur :/)

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

Villagecreator I adore your tree. It is gorgeous.

Re: Show off your Christmas tree!

I love this! I can just hear them heckling all of the other ornaments.

Here is our tree and my daughter presenting it. It's the first year we've had a fake one and it's a little crooked up top. I didn't notice that until I saw this picture, but I'm too lazy to fix it.


And here is the tree in my office. :love: It has some snow around it now just to cover the wires.
