Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa...photowhore the shit out of ALL of them!

Ok, so normally I don't really decorate until Thanksgiving weekend. However, this year I'm hosting a par-tay on the 5th, for which I will be cooking (and I'm sure obsessively cleaning) the week before. So I started yesterday. One tree down, 2 to go.

This tree is in our living room:
I spent this morning cleaning feathers, as at the last minute I decided to cut up a feather boa and stick the pieces into the tree. THANK GAWD I had a feather boa laying around.

We grew up in a 150 yr old Michigan 8 room Farm house - no lie... my mom had a tree in every room except the bathroom ~ there she placed x-mas tree looking candles

I might have 2 use that feather idea this year hmmmmm
I am buying a new tree this year and i think I am just buying one that has all the decorations with it.....
I just am not in the mood to put it all together lol
Love the new LED's then when I leave it on all day/night it doesn't matter

awww, I like your tree. I helped put some fake green stuff and red bows up on the outside of my parent's house earlier today. I'm all xmas'd out. DONE I just can't get into it plus it looks so strange without any snow

LOVE.

I tend to put a lot of lights on my trees....last year I had a 12 foot tree and it had close to 1,500 led's I will make sure to put a photo up

My cat will have mine down and scattered all over the house before I can reach for the camera, however you can believe it's not half as fabulous as the ones already posted.

Are these pics from last year?

EDIT - I see you started last week.

i don't have any. i loathe clutter. and by clutter, i mean anything beyond dirty clothes all over my bedroom floor, and that's bad enough. i've lived in too many homes where every single inch of surface area is "decorated" year-round.

Do something minimal Scrooge.

GORGEOUS, John. I love it!

I don't think I'll be decorating, other than my little pink tree. I was thinking about doing a bit more this year, but I'm still getting my regular art up on the walls. Maybe next year...

johnart said:

i AM gonna get that Charlie Brown Christmas tree they have at Sears

errant said:

I saw it at CVS the other night!

johnart said:

oh, it's probly cheaper there

errant said:

I don't think it was more than $20.

There you go...making everyone else feel inadequate again.

Does Chikkun get a special hat or something?
