This year's tree...I am in a temporary apartment this year...but I'm making the most of it.

I chopped off the angel at the top...on the bottom are my other two angels... :-)

No tree. Haven't had on in probably a decade.

My son took the commanding role in decorating the tree this year. I think he did a pretty good job.

Both are beautiful!!! We skipped the tree this year since we just moved and we're going to visit family....

What did you have to do to get Santa to leave you a baby under the tree? :popcorn:

I took one with flash and one without.

Doesn't anyone have a real tree any more? I bought mine yesterday. A Douglas Fir. It cost 100.00. I'm putting it up tomorrow. Pics to follow.
Here's two from previous years.

No tree for me.
I did buy my mom a small tree this year, it's first tree she put up since dad passed away.

Prayed! She is my real gift this Christmas season...
Beautiful trees everyone :clap:

Mine's real. It was priced at $90, I offered $70 and the guy said OK. I'm a cheapskate. I always try to haggle the price. :-)

Excuse me? Tucker? My tree is a REAL tree EVERY year.

I think that's spelled "s.t.a.l.k.e.r." :naughty: :tongue:
I have a bunch of stuff already, but I'll be honest (sorry to be a scrooge), I don't like exchanging gifts at Christmas. My Mom always goes overboard (spends like $3K/year), my relatives are not in a financial position to really buy gifts, my sister and I can't stand each other, and I don't really like receiving gifts. I'd rather just have a nice dinner with family than buy gifts for people out of politeness or guilt (that sounds cynical, eh?).

It's not out of guilt...at least that's not why I do it...I truly enjoy gift giving...and like receiving too.. :-)
I only exchange with about 10-12 people...so it's not really a big deal...but I do give 2-4 gifts per person for family...My daughter got 8 but she's speshul. :-)
I also host Christmas dinner for family and I cook up a storm.. :yum: :yum:

The guilt comment is really about my Mom, more than anything else. I'm really not a grinch - just don't like hearing about my relatives taking out loans to buy Christmas gifts, so I try to encourage people to not spend money on me.... even though I'm the cutest of the lot.

For future reference...I like gifts...but I wouldn't mind a "I'll clean the house for a month" type gift either... :evillaugh:

Crappy cellphone picture. Decorated by one of my roommates. Gotta be able to improvise, right?

They'll never make it to her mouth...they are diamond and alexandrite earings...

I'll take that bet. You'll be holding her one fine Sunday morning, and the next thing you know, the earring, your ear, and probably a fist full of hair as well will be the drool-covered victims of a vicious gumming attack.
Believe me, I know of that which I speak.

They are small, children's earings with a screwback...she won't get them off :-) She has earings on now and I've had no problem.

My bad. I thought they were going into YOUR ears. Babies LOVE those kind. :II:

No tree this year. :( Apartment too small and we plan on a big tree next year in a HOUSE! No more apartmets for us!

Now, that there, is a fine white trash tree!

Beautiful trees everybody....
Mine's not quite done. Angel fell off the top and cracked her head to pieces. :bawl: Had to get a new one....not going to let the son put this one on.... :uhsure:

Funny, it seems brighter this year than last. (??)
My real tree is a plastic job that I leave "up" all year, lol. (only plug it in for Christmas though)

I'm not really a stickler for tradition...

Some dis-assembly required. :-)

Tooheys?
I don't see any lights or garland. Not very festive...

Nice sofa... I bet a man could get some zzz's on that thing. Mine is supremely comfortable but (unfortunately) it's a foot too short for my legs.

One of my favorite places to be.

Did you get a donor liver with that order too, LC?

I have the same reindeer, in the rocking chair. My mom gave it to me a few years ago. I gave it away this year, as my dog wanted it dead in a bad way. :-)
