Load It Up!
One of the coolest things about the holidays to me is all the different ways that people decorate their trees. I feel like one of those nosy old people, peeking in people's windows when Christmas time rolls around just so I can get a look at their trees - I love them...all. It doesn't matter if they're fairly bare, with nothing but lights and a few ornaments or so loaded up that you can't even see the green of the branches. It doesn't matter if they're full and the decorations are just laying there, or if the thing looks like a Charlie Brown tree and stuff is hanging haphazardly all over the place.

What do you put on yours?

Post pics if you have them!

tree-decorating since i've gotten my own place has always been a joy consisting of my two closest friends, vodka and diet 7-up, and chucking the ornaments drunkenly at the tree while "a tuna christmas" is going on in the background. i don't bother making it look nice - because as a cat owner, i know the tree will get knocked over during work hours at least once or this

will inevitably happen, which always comes coupled with the "adorable" sniper-like action of ornaments being shot from within the tree, across the room.

I use to put everything on mine, alot of things the kids made at school and some  that were knitted. etc.  I went thru one phase where it was just lights and red velvet bows.  A couple of yrs ago i bought me a 4 ft prelit tree and i add an angel on top.  Thats it for me now.

 I went with the way I have my own tree decorated in my bedroom at home.  It's pre-lit with all white lights.  All of MY ornaments that used to be on the big tree in our living room are now upstairs on my tree.  One ornament will always be special to me.  My room used to be my grandfather's before he got sick.  There was always an ornament on our big tree for him.  It's a little green wooden rocking chair with a red pillow that says "grandpa."  That ornament now goes on my tree every year, my way of remembering him during the holidays.

I like multi-colored lights on my tree.  I have tons of ornaments from various sources.  A couple of years ago, when I first got my own place and had to get my own tree/decorations, I went to Target and bought a bunch of silver, red, and green Christmas balls and some red and white bows.  At this point, I could probably decorate the entire tree without them since my friends/family have given me thousands of ornaments over the years (and I've bought more, of course), but out of tradition (I'm a sap like that, sometimes) I still use them.

My wife decorates the tree mostly, and it's usually in white lights.

That's not really by choice.  I usually hoard all of the multi-colored lights and go crazy outside.

We have so much crap on our tree that it's hard to tell there is a tree underneath all those decorations.

I dont decorate or have a tree , apparently which is a bad thing because my neighbours kids 8, 6 and 5 knocked on my door and asked why Christmas misses me and gave me some decorations they had made. Said they would come back another day with some more.  I must be the Grinch in our street or the mean witch either way looks like i need to step up and get some balls lol.

thanks for reminding me that I am a month late putting up my tree.. my neighbors think that Christmas is canceled.

But mine has white lights, a cream and gold ribbon wrapped around it, some snow flakes and a Snowflake topper..

Boring... but super fab.

We're a little out of control with our Seahawks tree; blue and green lights, Seahawks green beads and Seahawks fake candy canes. Seahawks bulbs and Seahawks ornaments. Bows in blue, green, and white. Seahawks Santa hat as a topper.

We do have regular white snowflakes and icicles, and some ornaments that our daughter has made over the years. Of course now she's got a bright idea to make Seahawks ornaments of her own:

My sisters birthday would have been December 7Th, she would have been 47 this year. I was not putting a tree up this year but I did today in honor of my sister, I promised mom I would.
This year I added all the needlework ornaments mom made Susan and I over the years. I am glad I did, it is beautiful and was nice when the husband came in and was amazed that I gave in and got over my scrooge mood. (whispers) Man it sucks to do the right thing!

I always loaded mine up and would have more than one.  Now I have found that less is more.  I enjoy seeing the tree part of my tree!

You're not a month late this year, you're a month early every other year, and this year you're right on time.... 



Anyway, our tree looks very disorganized...  There are over-sized paper snowflakes colored with crayon, and beautiful collectible glass ornaments and everything in between.  It's the best Christmas tree ever.

That looks exactly like my cat who just got scolded for climbing the tree. I use a dustbuster or vacuum hose to scare her out, but they have "Cat-off" spray that will keep them away from certain areas.

 I always love putting up the unique ornaments. My brother and I have collected them since birth- 2 for each year- and my faves are these three gorgeous dragons I got for my 11th birthday.
