Non-Disney themed Christmas trees..

[crazelion]

My mom threat to throw the Christmas tree out door if decorate in red again this year. I have decorate my tree in all red ormants. This is change. I don't know what color that tree is be but it can't be red all I know.

I've always wanted to get a white tree and decorate it with my Scottish terrier ornaments and red tartan ribbon. I have nearly enough ornaments collected through the years now. My black dog ornaments just don't show up on a green Christmas tree. Should hunt for a tree during the after Christmas sales.

We won't have a decorated tree this year. New puppy in the house. We did get a white wire "tree" with vivid LED lights. It looks like a giant gumdrop tree. It will be festive this year and next year can go outside to the yard. No ornaments for the pup to break or eat.

As a child, I had a very small tree in my bedroom that had glow-in-the-dark snowflake and icicle ornaments and a strand of multi-colored fairy lights. The ornaments were from my mother's childhood and my grandmother gave them to me when I had the chicken-pox. I still use them and they still glow-in-the-dark.

Kohl's online has a 4ft white pine christmas tree on sale from $39.99 for $16.80. Use the code NEXTORDER20 and get another 20% off plus there is also a free shipping code FREECCDEC. Order it now and have your terrier tree before Christmas!

No specific ideas, but a local group where I used to live holds a festival of trees every year. They raise money for charity. The trees are donated and then auctioned via silent auction.

Some trees are merchandise trees--so you will have Pampered Chef or Barbie and what not while others are specific stylized trees meant to be displayed.

My favorites are the "christmas ornamented" baby's first christmas trees. And only if they didn't buy a set...but rather, the tree was decorated for a baby girl and one for a baby boy.

Can't think of any other ones off hand. There were lots of merchandise trees.

Ours is a family tree, but as our ornament collection grows, I hope to fan it all out into a "homemade ornament tree" of things my kids made over the years and a "travel tree" which is ornaments we collect from our travels. Evidently we are working on a Disney tree as well as there is a bunch in there.

My mom does a Victorian tree. I'm not a fan since she puts the craziest things in there (feathers??? birds???). Way way fru fru.

I would like a theme tree of my own--but looking at the price of ornaments, I just can't bring myself to it.

We do 3 trees:

Large tree and palm tree are both Disney and sparkle

Slim 6' in pot - Homemade ornaments from my childhood and my DD's

I usually do a bunch of trees - living room is my "decorator tree". This year it's gold, green and brown ornaments with birds, gold feathers and gold snowflakes. I also do a hunting tree for my boyfriend, a kitchen tree with gingerbread and cooking utensils and a chef Santa at the top, a snowman mini tree in the bathroom, a Disney tree, a tree in my son's room with all of his ornaments picked up from places we have traveled, a silver tree in my bedroom with blue and white ornaments to match the room.

This year I was lazy (I broke my shoulder in two places earlier this year and I'm still recovering) so I only put up the living room and my son's tree. I am missing seeing all the other trees but I just can't do it this year.

DS24 is in his first apartment this year, just him and his roommate. They were joking that they needed less Christmas and more Halloween. So I bought them a little black tree with white lights and some orange & green ornaments, so purple icicles and silver tinsel. They LOVED it! I wish I had a picture--it's the anti-Christmas tree.

When I was a kid, we lived in a huge victorian house and had 2 trees...the first one was our "regular" Christmas tree with standard ornaments, but the second one was Happy Meal themed, lol. My mom was trying to come up with something to do with all those Happy Meal toys that are basically junk but kids don't want to throw away...so we did a 2nd tree and hung all Happy Meal toys on it.

I'm jealous of the fake trees, my real tree smells great but it is hard to find one that is "perfect". This one is a bit lopsided at the bottom and has this funny patch with shorter branches that I had to hide in the corner Every year I swear that I'm going back to artificial (especially when I am trying to string lights!)

Dh found these scentsicles at Michael's. put 4 in my little 4 foot tree in the craft room and no lie, it smells like the real thing!!!

We have a large tree in the living room, but in the entry I put up a nativity tree using nativity ornaments I have collected through the years, pine cone and berry fillers and simple wooden bead garland. I put a small nativity set underneath. I love bringing that out each year!

My mother has three small (under four feet) rustic christmas trees that she decorates with her Frosty Friends collection. She has every ornament and special edition ornament Hallmark put out except 1980 or 1981 (which is hundreds on ebay - bummer).

I LOVE the gingerbread tree. Too cute! I might have to do a mini-version in my kitchen.

We moved away from home 2 months ago, this is going to be our first Christmas away from Florida and away from all of our family. I had planned to do a beautiful themed Christmas tree this year to remind us of home but alas, money is tight, and I haven't been able to find a job yet, so I will plan on doing it next year. It was going to be a beautiful white tree with all kinds of shells we collected over the years from back home, I can see it in my mind, and I know it will be gorgeous. I might even put a few flamingoes on it too. Next year...

I don't have my stuff together for it yet, probably next year, but I've been collecting ornaments for a Michigan tree for a while.

I might steal that idea maybe even tweak it a bit to fit us. There is a perfect spot upstairs to put a MI tree...might look out of place in WA, but it would be a little piece of 'home.' Then again, it would just match the MSU ornaments and DH's stocking. Another reason to shop...lol!

I have a Steelers tree. It is a black tree with gold garland/balls and my Steelers themed ornaments. I have added more decorations since the photo was taken like my hallmark Steelers ornament I got this year, some Steelers candy canes, 2 danbury mint ornaments I purchased, and 2 ornaments I got off ebay.


It is post #53.
