Christmas Trees

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

Nice setting. Here that is called "The Yule Log," at least it should be on closer to Christmas, and it is just the fireplace with the fire and log and Christmas music.

We don't do trees, our Dachshunds would destroy it.

Here's mine.

Same tree. Same lights.

I got some led lights. Momma never seems to have enough lights. That way whatever she was short on, I could match. I got two strings of changeable leds. White and colored. The two strings were enough for the whole tree. One setting lets it switch every 20 seconds or so. Really neat.

From my earlier post on this thread, one week ago:
We have an artificial stick tree up year around. My wife decorates it according to the current season, e.g. harvest time there are red apples, spring has various flower ornaments, and so on. Of course, Christmas time it becomes our Christmas tree with mostly memory ornaments from the kids, those ornaments we received as gifts, a mini-collection of hanging nativities. My wife likes to hang solid color ornaments now (usually red), and often we add/hang a box or two of red/white candy canes on the branches. The grandkids do notice those, and usually after their visits, the tree has a few less canes hanging! Fun. A lot of the ornaments are dated, and some wood ornaments are signed, too. So our stick Christmas tree becomes each year our history of past joyous seasons. 'Tis the season, and our tree will be decorated soon....as soon as my wife brings down the fall decos from the tree. BTW, there are the small white lights burning all day/everyday throughout the year. Always fun to look at.
My wife and daughter finished the Christmas tree decorations yesterday. Here are some photos:

Our Christmas stick tree. [Sorry I don't know how to get this rotated...]

At the base of the tree, year-around there is a wooden rocking chair. My wife loves soft bears and dogs, and rotates the chair sitter along with the season changes. Now the Christmas bear has the place of honor!

For some reason, the candy canes disappear throughout the holiday season. Got this picture before this one was taken; we're "guessing" the grandkids are the reason. :lol:

My very favorite fictional character. Snoopy is all over our apartment, especially on my library shelves and desktop. He is new on our tree this year. :)

I guess it would be a little cold to have the tops down on those cars. :D
