When we had our larger house we had a real tree in the living room with our traditional ornaments and an artificial tree in the family room with the homemade ornaments. Now in our townhouse we are only doing the artificial tree, which is 5-5.5 feet or so, so lots of ornaments go unused. We have some unique lights from DH"s grandparents, cross-stitched ones from his mom, lots of travel memories. Finally got it decorated over the weekend.

It's not the prettiest tree that was ever decorated, but it has a lot of memories on it:

Ye-ah. The dinosaur is supposed to be outside. My Godson (who adores dinosaurs) got upset that it would be 'cold and sad' outdoors, so it's in the house. We caught him loving on it last night:

I think it looks great, BSH. And your godson.... So nice.

Too cute.


I’m curious about the shoes under the tree. Is that for the German tradition?

No, they're ceramic. My Mom made a set of four in the 70s. Under my tree is her boot with a smaller one for me, and under my sister's tree is my Dad's boot with a smaller one for her.

That’s sweet. I thought maybe you fill them with treats. But the decoration is nice.

FINALLY got the tree up and decorated, except for the candy canes. Presents are about half of what the grandparents brought today. There were presents for everyone, but mostly for the two grandkids. We'll put out our family gifts tomorrow, now that today's gathering is over.

Well after our little tree fell over and we aren't hosting, we just put a blow up tree in the spot a "real" Christmas tree would go. Not happy, but at least it is something....but LOUD!

My daughter has a bird phobia. She would be terrified of that tree.

My parrot hated it too so he was moved into one of the bedrooms until the tree came down.
Personally, I think he was jealous.

We only have a wee tree but my husband has constructed a lego village.

Love to see people’s homes decorated for the holidays. If you have your Christmas tree up, love to see it!

Here is ours. Kept the tree small and simple this year. Just a few ornaments with red beaded garland (hard to see in picture.) Still need to take down my clock and hang a large wreath over the fireplace and decorate the rest of the house but this is a start.

Here is mine.

Here is mine.

How tall is your tree? I’m currently in a mental battle over whether to upgrade our tree to 10’ or 12’. The height isn’t the problem for the space available, it’s the base. The 12’ tree I’m considering has a nearly 7’ diameter base, which is just too big, so I either need a shorter tree or a different 12’ tree with a narrower shape. Do you happen to have a rough idea of your tree’s dimensions and the brand?
