a week later and I'm still in the process of putting it up......went and got those new LED lights, box 4 boxes, but needed more, I ran to 7 different Targets and couldn't find them anywhere.
Hopefully UPS-man will drop them off tomorrow.

I just found out that my club tree was given to us by a "drunk Indian" with a truck with 3 trees in it, and he was just like HERE! Have an Xmas tree, strip club!!
It's fucking sweet! It's like one of those whiter pines. And they hung that garland that looks really awesome on those types.
Gettin my Xmas tree fix at work!

It's up! Got lights on it and two ornaments, then we realized we needed more lights. Moar!
I even got a reed diffuser that smells like pine trees. ;D It needed a touch of realism! Plastic is depressing!
Now all I need is to pirate my some Christmas music!
This makes me all happy n' shit. ;D

I'm not getting a tree, but seeing those last two pictures makes me feel more spirit than I have in a couple years at least. Your daughter looks so happy, CMS!
Oh and it's not a Christmas thing, but that picture on your wall is intriguing, Twister.

This christmas sucks so I'm not putting one up, no reason to, no one here to see it but me anyways.

I know, Big_Daddy, it's the way I have felt for years now. Somehow seeing these pictures and knowing a little about the people makes it different--even if I'm still not putting up one of the damned things myself, LOL.
I don't really know CallMeSky all that well other than a few PMs, MySpace, and here. But right away on her MySpace page when I first added her, I remember seeing the obvious love for her daughter. Twister I don't know really well yet either, but we have heard her story of Thanksgiving, and seeing her determination to celebrate Christmas in her own style, and the hell with everybody else is extremely impressive.
Just knowing there are people out there getting into it makes me feel better.
Who knows, Big_Daddy_O, maybe some little elves will arrange for you to get a present, lol!

There's only one thing missing--PRESENTS!
Neither tree has any presents under them, you all need presents.
In some ways that makes CMS's daughter's big smile even more special, she doesn't even care, she's already getting into it.
Haha! I keep looking at these pictures, I love it, and I usually hate stuff like this. I should make it a 'subscribed thread', I always wondered what that would be like, or how it would work.

We got our tree up last night. But something happened between last year and this year and one section of the lights (fake tree with lights on it already) won light up! Eh, we flipped that side to the wall...
Tonight we decorate! ;D

This is my tree. (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=13659453)I got it last year and I love it so.
Perfect for limited space AND my kind of nostalgia. Next year maybe a real one for the babe, but I'll still have my Charlie Brown tree up somewhere. "It just needs a little love!"

It's a painting done by one of my students in Africa.I had stowed it away when I returned a couple years ago and I just found it in a closet . I have yet to frame it but it makes me feel happy so I tacked it to the wall. Classy, no. Cool,yes. And lately I'll take a little smile wherever I can get one :)

No presents until Christmas Eve - she'll get into them when my back's turned, the little sneak!

I wanted to go red and gold because last year was silver and white but with us being so broke I stuck with last years theme with a gold/red angel. My trees so skinny - I needed a small one for my last place and once again - couldnt afford to get a real one this year :(

Pretty! I made the star myself. It's got more lights on than it looks, but they are twinkly ones.
(Needs more pink IMO)

The bottom of my lights burned out, but I can't replace them without redoing the whole tree. I think it's looks cute though.

Meeeee! It's so perdy. Just over 6 ft. tall. I've decorated my entire house for the holidays (as I do almost every holiday!) inside and out. I have a beautiful centerpiece on my coffee table that I put yummy sugar cookie scented pilar candles from Illuminations. My house smells so delish. :yummy:
