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.

We just got a new tree last weekend.  *We had* our old one we had since we moved into our other house and it was falling apart so we ditched it last year after christmas.  This time we got a 9 ft pre-lit one (green).  I love real Christmas trees but don't have the patience for continually vacuuming up the needles. 

Edited:  *I did it again.  I left out two words in my sentence.  Next I will start leaving out whole sentences and paragraphs.

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

See we have another clear ball lover! :)

It never snows around here.  If it does, it doesn't stick.

Ours is never put away, but has snow on it. So does the cover. Problem is SR forgot to put the cover on it before it snowed. Oh, well, no big deal.  :-)

Had to go looking for this thread so I could post a few pictures of our tree.

With flash (should I take down the pictures just for christmas?).  No presents yet.





With out flash, it is blurry, I couldn't figure out the right setting.  Ignore the tennis ball, the dogs were playing.   :p

Misc pictures of ornaments.  Do I have enough crap on our tree or what?  I only put on about 1/2 of the Hallmark ornaments.  I found out they changed the light bulbs on new lights, they don't work with my light up/moveable Hallmark ornaments.   :censored:

We bought a stupid 9 ft tall tree this year, HUGE mistake.  That is the only place it would fit.  Normally I have a sofa table on that wall under the pictures with a lamp and plant but I had to move it to make room for the tree.  Don't ever buy a 9 ft tree, it is a bitch to decorate.

It was hard filling up a 7' tree, I can't imagine a 9' one.  I also put a star on top of mine, and that was a bitch to get straight, but luckily my uncle was over and able adjust it for me.  I want to buy a pretty silver angel for next year....I'll waitfor the after christmas sales and hope there are some nice ones left at 50% off.  :-)
