What does your Christmas tree look like? Mine is still in progress, but here's what my housemates and I have so far:

Yes, the star's horribly crooked. We know. :D

And here's what we did with my housemate's dog while we were busy decorating...

Mo's all fancy and ready for the holidays now too!

Wow, that's a lot of trees. Why so many?

My mom enjoys decorating for Christmas, and because I think she likes having a tree in every major part of the house. They're in the den, living room, library, and master bedroom, although I can't recall if Uts and mine was put up in the guest room or not.

For the record, presents go under the den tree.

We might not even get a tree this year. Some installers were supposed to put in some carpet in our living room two weeks ago, but they've delayed twice, and we can't put one in until the carpet's done. Teh woe is me. :(

Your is also beau-ti-ful. I love Christmas. We had stockings and everything up in our house too as well, but we had our house chrismtas party on Sunday because everyone is going home for the holiday this week, so they all got opened and taken down. :( They were pretty too though. Oh! And we put some of those net lights up on our wall, lol. Yes, they're supposed to be for windows, but we only have 1 window that you can actually see from the outside, and we have some colored lights in that.

Soooo many spaklies in this house.
Yay.

If my family's gotten a tree, it should still be quite unembellished. They promised to hold off on decorating it until I got home from college.

Goddammit, you stole the words right out of my mouth. Reminds me of when my brother started making lamps out of mountain dew bottles.

In other news, my Christmas tree is a 2 foot tall fake tree with multicolored fiberoptic needles, kung fu grip, and heat seeking missiles.

I would if I had a digital camera or my cell phone could email pictures. Sadly, I won't have a camera till after Christmas is over, so you'll have to wait till then. :P

... and here is the Kendall tree...

I had to take three seperate photos so you could see the detail and the full tree one so you could see the height ;)

Image I want to get rid of this angel and replace it with a nice star or something less tacky ;) I hate gold, can you tell :lol:
Image
Image more presents to come, stay tuned :lol:

Image


Anyway, you got the idea :) Oh and clickable thumbnails ;)

Oh and the bottom of the tree may look a little less decorated as the top and I'm sure you can all figure out that's because we have two cats and two kids ;)

Oh and because we don't have a lot of ornaments yet ;) We're slowly building them up though. Oh yeah and yes it's a fake tree in case you couldn't tell.

Edit: testeroonies... Image yup it screws up the formatting oh well.

I'd get pictures of mine, but it hasn't been decoranated yet. I'm hoping to bother people into doing that this weekend, so I might be able to get pictures then.

last year me a few friends and i spent christmas in sebastian beach florida and in the little shack behind the surf shop we had a christmas tree of empty coors lights with a jager bottle on top, but this year we got a real tree up here in new jersey and while i put on some nice ornaments, the others of the household felt that empty cans stuck on branches and an empty jager bottle as the star was nice. i have to admit, if i was a shepard and saw a bottle of jager hovering over a manger id come visit
