I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel havin the kids stand under that shit. It's like a very tragic America's Funniest Videos waiting to happen.

ZombieKitten said:

That's hot.

johnart said:

sextonseven said:

I put this one together for hubby's office at work. It's only 2ft tall.

John, all of your trees are fabulous!

I'm tellin' ya... I know you and I could hang! We need to get together and shop! Clothes first, then home goods!

I can't wait to show you what I've done after the weekend... (I just realized I need a tiny tree for the table in my front hallway... )

Isn't it still November? Waaay too early for christmas decs. I love christmas but not yet.

Bah humbug and all that.

OH THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE DOES THAT!!!!!

I used to do that, and everyone always said it was anti-Christmas. I told them to F off. I used to have a 4' tree I hung in front of the window. It was always the bomb. I saw the same thing done in a florist in Tulsa. They had the best window displays, and always had an upside down tree. Last year, at one of the Christmas shops, I noticed they are finally making a stand for an upside down tree.

I have a new amber/gold tree to put up this year, but here are the two trees from last year. Yes, I put up two trees!

The living room was still a bit messy, as I was still unpacking misc knick knacks.


The Red and Gold Tree. On the buffet, a red rose tree w/ red light.
A 2' fibre optic tree I found that doesn't work. I put all green on it with some frosted blue mini balls.


The purple and gold tree. You can spot one ornament in the middle that looks blurry. It's on a spinner.
I hated that tree topper and took it down right after I took that pic.

Both trees have an ornament on a spinner in the middle (my roommate's dad makes these really ornate ornaments each year). Both trees ahve white lights. I use about 100 lights per foot of tree. I average 500 per tree. I wrap one 100 strand (doubled up) just on the spine of the tree, to have plenty of light from inside the tree.


This is in my roommate's office at his work. That's actually a computer monitor, hooked to a laptop, playing a fireplace DVD on repeat all day. The brick is just a pattern printed out online, on the color laser printer at his work. One year, we did a similar "fireplace" in the patio door, facing outward. It was rather eye catching next to the tree. We live right on the main road of the complex, so it's (a bit too) easy to see into our apartment from outside. But we figured we'd give them something to look at.

Our first home (back in 98) was in Northeast Pa. The Christmas Shop up there always had upside down trees. I didn't realize it was such a demonic unusual occurrence.

I like your trees, btw.
