    Default Christmas Tree!

    As Santa is sliding down our holes! a christmas in only a very few weeks, we're putting up the tree today! I'm so excited! So melly!



    What is your favorite ornament that you own for your Christmas tree?

    Mine is a little red bike, it's always been my favorite. I wanted to buy a Starbucks ornament, but my Mom refuses to put it on the tree. ;;

    This is the first year we're going back to an non pre-decorated tree (we used to have a fibreglass one that required no decorations) and we threw out all our old ones, so I don't know what my favourite of the new ones are. Maybe the star. We've never had a star at the top before. We always had an oversized angel.

    Those angels are lucky, getting that giant piece of wood up them. ;D

    My favorite ornaments are the chocolates!

    My dad and I hate decorating for Christmas, so we strung lights around a decorative palm tree and we simply keep that up year-round. No assembly required. Don't ask, it was his idea-- he said he'd rather be reminded of being on the beaches of Florida instead of being in the middle of a snowstorm in rural-suburban Indiana. I guess it makes sense in a weird sort of way. Still, I don't have to decorate here, and that's always a plus.

    My mom's house is a different story though. She likes to turn decorating into an all-day ordeal event. We first put up the tree, piece by piece, then we string it with a ton of lights, and then so many ornaments it's a wonder that the whole thing doesn't collapse on itself. Then she puts all of her Santa figurines (of which there are far too many) all over the house, and then puts a Nativity scene above our fireplace. Our house is an example of where secular and religious Christmas combines-- I'm really surprised she hasn't put a Santa figure with the wise men looking over baby Jesus' manger.

    Much to my happiness, we don't decorate the outside of our house.

    My favorite ornaments are the ones I don't have to put up. Alternately, my favorite ornaments go under the tree.

    Our tree was put up a week ago. My Mum bought a new tree and couldn't wait to start decorating it, so it was up in NOVEMBER, that is so bad.

    This thread has me looking forward to putting up the family tree next week. Christmas season doesn't really begin until the tree goes up.

    I like the birds that clip on to branches, because you can bury them deep in the tree and give them a proper nesting place.

    idk how we're going to do the christmas tree thing this year. Usually we go find one out in the pasture and cut it and bring it inside, but my dad's arthritis might not let him, so unless me or stu can man the chainsaw!

    anyways it's too early to talk about christmas trees, ask me in a week.

    yea its still early to get a tree but I love christmas trees but when i get mine in a week or so I'm going to have to be the one (with my mom's help) to put the damn thing up and decorate it. My sister and dad always put one ornament on and that's it I do the rest. But its still fun to do it.

    In my household, the number of ornaments we have is upwards into the hundreds. We have so many, all with a really nice history, ranging from before I was born, to this year. A lot of them are really cool and from pop culture, and others are for milestones. I love our Christmas tree. It has everything!

    a) Far too early to be thinking about Xmas trees.
    b) We don't put one up.

    And yes, we do celebrate Xmas.

    Not really. Most people I know put theirs up in the last few days of November or first week of December.
