Nice looking family you have there, asdf.

I never put a tree up because it clutters my already cozy apartment.

My sister said she set hers up today. I can't wait to see it.

How come she is doing all the work? Your daughter did a good job taking the pictures.

I bet you were surprised when you woke up to find the tree was done.  :lmao:

Not doing the tree thing this year, since I'll be at my father's for X-Mas.

Gotta get the decorations up today since I got some time, but I'll wait until Tuesday when I have another day off. Although I may get out the Nativity today... here's a pic of it.

Last time I decorated it was up until May. I have a little 2' tree and I crimped the ornament hangers on so they are permanent. I just take the tree out of its bag and stand it up. No need to decorate or take down. Instant Christmas.

I see this thread full of fun and life, and I realize there is no comparable thread on DU.
They are so full of hate and bigotry, can they even celebrate anything other than Big O's victory? 

God Bless each and every one of you! You can live and love in spite of the shifting winds of politics.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Can't say it any better. The happiness shows in those pics.

Guess we'll have to haul up our white artificial tree shortly. I always had a real tree, but got tired of cleaning up all the needles.

You need some clear glass balls and put them in the inside of the tree  It reflects the lights of the tree and makes it really shine.  It looks great.

Thanks...you can't really see most from the pic, but I do have pearl white, silver, black all around...With red accents.  I didn't get any clear ones though..hmmmm...I'd think they'd just blend with the tree...but I'll buy a box and check them out.  Thanks for the idea...

I have a silver angel tree top I may use...unless I see something nicer...

It's a very nice tree! One thing I have learned, if BEG says get clear balls, then you need to get clear balls.  :-)

It makes it seem like you have twice as many lights.  I always put them on first in the middle of the tree.  Buy more than a box.  You can get them really cheap at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. 

The more balls the better it looks.  (I'm serious here but I know someone is going to make a joke out of it. :p)

You are definitely right!  The clear ones are great filler.  Makes the tree look really sparkly!

Thanks BEG for the idea. I have a large white tree and sadly, too many Waterford and other crystal ornaments. Lately I've been getting more colorful ornaments, but might try some plain clear glass balls in the middle. Perhaps it will reflect enough light that the other ones will show up more.

I was shopping for a tree a couple years ago after Christmas and the large prelit green ones were already gone.
