    I just love seeing photos of Christmas trees and how people decorate them. Come on everyone, let's see yours. I will start off with mine. This was taken without flash so the lights would show up.There are 400 lights on our tree....imagine if one of them goes, trying to find which one it is :eek: The little lady is a moving figure which we stand under the tree each year.

    Beautiful tree Gardengirl. I'm afraid I won't be able to post a photo of mine until after the 20th - that's when our tree goes up :)

    I love clear lights, silver garland and a variety of balls and ornaments.

    I love snowmen and this is the newest addition to the snowmen I have. My best friend and roommate from college got it for me this summer then we went to Santa's Workshop. If you look under the tree you will see my Snowman Cookie Jar.

    My brother has had his tree up for a week, but he normally puts it up the weekend after thanksgiving. We will keep ours up until January 4th. I love the lights of the tree and just having that light on at night. There is something magical about a Christmas tree.

    We usually put a tree up, but this year we are forging the tree. We will be starting on the kitchen immediately after New Years and didn't want the taking down of the tree to contend with. Christmas was the best when our son was small, he's 38 now and not so little!

    I won't be putting our tree and decorations up until after the 16th (my daughters birthday.) Even although she no longer lives at home she spends her birthday with us and I'd hate to have everything all Christmassy on her special day. Don't worry though 'cause you won't be able to stop me posting a piccie once it's up!! :p
