Christmas trees!

[REO]

Here it is!

My annual plea

to show us all

your pretty tree!

I'll be posting mine as soon as I can! We have a big one that I've done the same, always (colorful & shiny) And a small one that has decorations that people have given me. Each of my trees has Ruby slippers on them LOL!

I LOVE Christmas trees!

I love seeing all the great ways people chose to decorate theirs!

Please, please pretty please! Share your trees???

Here's mine with bird nests and birds. My favorite nest is one with Dusty's hair woven in. My farmer neighbors all watch for good nests now.

And one in my sewing room. It has vintage ornaments and garlands made of buttons.

 

[REO]

I love them both Marsha!

I enjoyed your posting last year and I had hoped you would again!

Thanks!

This year we decided not to spend a lot on a tree/decorations since our "puppy" Abby would have had fun with them (we had sold our tree and most of the decorations before we moved), but we weren't sure what we were going to get...until we saw this and I HAD to have it...LOL! As you see, we did add some touches to it (and there are a few SS gifts there as well)...Here is our "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree"

Not much in the Christmas spririt/mood this year at all, and just feel like passing it by altogether, but instead, I bought and stood up this prelit, predecorated (with snow, cones and berries) and added a few of my mom's decorations and that is it. It only stands 4' overall, from the tip pf the tallest branch to the bottom of the holder, but it will have to do for this year. I wasn;t going to have anything, but just couldn;t do it, so opted to buy this tabletop tree to at least have something. I am not decorating inside or outside at all, not having Christmas dinner here either, and that will be only the second time in the last 30 years that I havn't prepared the Christmas meal, with the first time being because we went to my Mom's out of town for Christmas that one year when the kids were just toddlers. Our daughter will be in charge of Christmas dinner this year, and we'll go there. I normally love this time of year, so will be sure to pick it up again next year.

Linda, your tree made me smile

Careful the pup doesn't pull the cloth and break Deb's dolphin!

{{{{{{Mona}}}}}} I'm glad you did get the little tree. I'm very sure that your mom is proud of you for putting it up.

You know how I feel, my friend.

More trees please!

This is our really tiny tree l've put out the week before the big day for the past 15 years...not much but each of the 3 items holds a special meaning from 3 special people now long gone.

 

[Shari]

I just have a tiny little table top one this year.

Love seeing everyone else's trees, big and small!

 

[REO]

Love your trees Relic and Shari!

Here's ours...

I made it a couple years ago. it hands in front of one of our window blinds.

This year it has some pins on it instead of a few ornaments safety pinned to it.

 

[REO]

OK, here's mine!

I took these pics yesterday afternoon.

This one is around 5' tall and has different things on it. Lots of horses.

Most of the decorations were given to me by friends!

This one is 8 foot tall. Prelit with white but I added colored lites too! It has all my shiny things that I've had for nearly 30 years.

If I had more trees, I'd put them up! LOL

Both of these are in the living room

Did you spot the ruby slippers on each tree?

 

[Tab]

My 3-year-old is loving these! This was ours last year. It looks exactly the same this year minus presents and different location. Not a real tree

but it will have to do.

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Here is ours, its a little different every year, this year it has the red tinsel and mainly horse ornaments but there are a couple dog ones too, including snowflakes with pictures of my dogs in the middles.

 

[mad for mini's]

This isn't really a photo of the tree itself, it's in the background. I'll have to get photos of it and post later.

Oh I love all the Christmas Trees, since we will be going out to my daughters this year, did not bother.

Now, I wish I had, but less mess to clean up after!

Hubby always wants the real thing.

I love the artificial trees.. they look so real now a days.

So I gave my artificial to a nice girl.

 

[REO]

I LOVE ALL the trees! Thank you for posting them!

I wish we had a real tree, but it's not in the cards for us. So we do what we can!

 

[minih]

I love looking at Christmas trees, what a neat post. My daughter and I had a fun time decorating our tree this year. I don't know if you can see them or not but we have ours in a western theme with boots, stars, and horses.

and here is one with the lights out

 

[Reble]

We have a real tree year round in the house.. It is a Norfolk Island Pine we have had for a few years now.. I decorate it just before the family comes for Christmas with little red apples and tinsel.. We live in a jungle here... LOL!

I have bought my husband two of them and he has let them die..

Maybe I will try one more...

How do you keep them alive. No luck here.

 

[Reble]

Mary, they need bright light near a window (but not direct sun) and water when they are almost dried out.. Our tree is 3 years old now and I transplanted it to a bigger pot last Fall.. I also take it outside Spring & Fall and completly hose the plant down.. but bring it back in once it dripped-dried..

If you have city water.. it can hurt them with the chlorine in it.. Read up on the internet on how to care for them..

Thanks Mary Lou, he would forget about it, and poor thing was thirsty, than needs would go

yellow or needles would fall off. Just had no luck with them, but yours is beautiful.

 

[REO]

Thank you all for sharing your trees!

All are different and all are beautiful!
