What and When Holiday Decor

The tree cutting and bringing into the house is the DD,SIL and GD. Its their family thing so I just utt out,bfind fault with it every year and keep my lip zipped.

When the lights are on and its decorated and presents are under. I will forget the kack job someone did on it while it was growing.

My dinner was very nice....35 women, so it was crowded, but a happy, noisy gathering....grab bag gift was dishtowels....I was hoping for chocolate! Here's my tree....no pointy top, but I have birds nesting up there.

Forgot the tree....geezer moment like Jo says!

Our tree is up and lighted. I'' be with balls for awhile then take a pic and get back to you.
Nice tree Marilyn.so many sentimental things on it.

Yes, Jo...all of the ornaments (except the glass balls) have memories attached to them.

Here's mine

Looks super...my lights didn't come out in the photo....guess I needed to do something special....I have some wooden ornaments my stepdaughter brought back from Thailand....I think....she's been so many places, I just can't remember.....

Marilyn and JoAnn - both very pretty trees! The best part of a Christmas tree is the memories reflected in the ornaments! Right now we have a nice fire in the fireplace with the tree just to the left of it......very warm and Christmasy tonight.

tree is up

Nice tree Bill.I love the Santa ladder.

Look at all the pretty tree's! Lovely!!! I need to get mine.

Very nice, Bill. I will buy mine today.

Very pretty, Bill. The Santa ladder is awesome! It is so much fun to visit everyone's house to see the trees.

Was that Cindy's wine and remote?????? lol

Pretty trees.

I also love the Santa ladder.

Trees are always at their best with lights. No tree here as yet--too busy with the post office.

Concolor, Jen?

Wow nice trees everyone. I love looking at all the different ornaments! Now I'm really not liking my itty bitty tree...I get some pics later.

Very nice, Bill & Jen....long needles on that tree, Jen.....pine? I called mine a spruce, but my son said it's a fir...oh, well! Louise, we all needed a fire last night....haven't had the chimney cleaned recently, so I'm not going to light a fire until I do.

My parents used to buy this as a treat about once a month....haven't had it in years....

Mmmmm....sounds good.....never had it. Your fake tree is very real looking!

That's why we originally bought it, it's 20yrs old already.

Yes - my dad used to get it. Loved it!

Very pretty, Jen! I see you got through decorating YOUR tree without having to fall into a glass of wine and grab the remote!! LOL LOL LOL!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jen my mom used to buy us Halvah as kids too.... but made it seem like it was a fancy treat... only a once in a while thing... and I love the tree

Louise, put down that glass of wine! Oh, well, it's cold in FL....you probably need it!

Heat it up.

Now there's a thought.....saw Rachel Ray the other night...she heated up cider, cran. juice, frozen cranberries, cin. sticks, orange peel & cloves.....making that for my Friday luncheon.

She heats up a lot of things!

I can tell that I am elderly (prefer that to old) as I have no idea who Rachel Ray is.

Got the tree - a Frasier. Will begin decorating tomorrow.

Rachael Ray has a cooking show.
"30 Minute Meals"
She's cute and perkie.
They fail to mention the ingredients are expensive.

And best of all - she's Italian!

I guess that counts for someting
