Our house is really stunning this year. I hosted a small party (parking is limited when you live in the woods) as if christmas barfed garland everywhere. Here is one of our many x-mas trees. I made it from branches in the yard. The tree was painted red and the lights and ornaments are green. A reverse of the normal tree, very hip.

Ha, I don't think we will have a tree this year. Last year we were at my brother's place for Christmas. We thought it would be nice to put up our artificial while we were gone and to have up during the week between Christmas and New Year's. Baby kitty had other plans. That tree was up less than 10 minutes before we realized that it was viewed as a big, sparkly toy by a little gray, green-eyed monster. This year he is 1.5, but probably still too rambunctious for tree. We'll see.

Our cats use to play with the tree too. They must have grown out of it. I have an artifical that I put on the 2nd floor which is visible from the main entry way. I was going to buy a new one for the living room, but dam when did artifical trees get so expensive? This tree is more in my budget. Tree & ornaments cost $15.00.

That's cool, Bugs! Hey, is your house super-insulated? From the window sills, it looks like your walls are as thick as ours.

It is very good. We have some problems with the master bathroom pipes freezing, because it is over the garage and the garage is insulated but not heated. I have learned that to keep the garage door closed in the winter or else I get my butt chewed. Think the walls are so thick incase a tree falls on the house, my worst fear.

Thanks, we really enjoy it. At my girls only x-mas party Monday the girls favorite room was the exercise room, followed by the tanning bed room. It was funny. We'll probably have to stain it in a couple of years, and the roof needs new shingles. Not always fun having a big house. Sad

Bugs, I love the tree! Very cool. I put up my artificial tree this weekend. It's very skinny, kind of like Charlie Brown's tree. But since I don't have a lot of extra space in my living room, it works out well. This is my lovely sister in front of the tree - the photo was taken at her baby shower on Sunday. Smile

Dragon, aren't you a little martha stewart (minus the bossy bitch part). Looks like your tree fits the decor in your house perfect. Trees don't have to be big to be beautiful. Nice work.

No tree for us this year. Erin's exams end the Friday before Christmas, which actually gives her more time between exams and Christmas than usual, but we are taking off for a few days to visit her family during Christmas, and then will be home for less than a day before we fly out to Vegas for a week+ - so having a tree seemed unnecessary this year. No more exams next Christmas, we are definitely going to decorate in 2009!

Dragon, It looks so nice and green, not to mention WARM. I'm coming to visit for a couple of months.
