Our tradition is the tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving, and comes down New Years Day each year.

Goodness, if you all keep posting these pictures of beautiful trees, I may actually un-bah humbug myself and put one up too!

I just got done decorating my 10 foot monster tree! I love decorating qith tons of colored lights. The only color that scares me is beige. Lol

You guys are awesome!

Any more trees/decorations to share? I just love the holidays.

I still haven't had the urge to decorate. My daughter will beat me when she comes home from college if I don't, lol.

I've been working away for two weeks so the family is doing ours on Tuesday night when I get home! I love Christmas the nativity scene is my favourite part!!

Love decorating the tree with my 2 little ones....

Such beautiful trees!

that's a beautiful tree, and I LOVE the reindeer made out of the handprint. That's an excellent idea. I will be making those with my 3 year old great nieces to attach to their parents presents this year. And that is a seriously cute baby in the picture behind the tree.

We are HUGE Nightmare Before Christmas fans in my house. We have an entire room decorated with NBC stuff. My husband has been collecting it for years, it's expensive but holds it's value fairly well, and he loves adding to his collection. If you really look at the pics of my tree there are several Nightmare ornaments, mostly from the parks, but some are homemade, and some were ordered from China/Japan on Ebay. This year I wanted to make him something special, but not another ornament. I have 3 rubbermaid containers of tree decorations, before we moved to Florida we lived in a fairly large house in Chicago, and I put up 4 trees, 1 formal, one with homemade ornaments, 1 with all Disney stuff and 1 in my daughters room (a tabletop tree). Now we are in an apartment (just starting to look for a house, ugh) and I only have room for 1 tree so it's a hodgepodge of my favorites. So this year my daughter and I went digging online to see what we could find to make for him, and we decided to make him the wreath that comes to life. I saw them selling for as little as $20 and as much as $150 online, so I figured I could make one fairly inexpensively, have fun making it, and he would be thrilled. Well I was right, it came out better than I expected, we had a blast making it, and it only cost me about $12 in materials. I had the supplies to add the arms, but he liked it without the arms, and said the arms made it too big, took away from the face. So here it is:

Thank you...many of those ornaments my kids made in school...I love decorating with homemade stuff and ornaments they picked....after all it is all about them!

Fun! My 11 and 4 year old did the whole thing this year and I did not have the heart to redo it. So it's up and it's perfect!! Lol!!

Here's my Christmas tree - I love christmas time!

Those are lovely! From Halloween to Chirstmas is my favorite time of year. I love the fact that I can get pumpkin flavored everything, the way the leaves change color, the sights and smells of the Holidays. I get overexcited like a little kid for the Holidays. My husband says it's one of the many things that makes him fall in love with me over and over again. I really like to do different things each year for the holidays. This year our theme is lights, and I am taking my 12 year old daughter and her friends to several light shows/decoration events. We live in Northeast Florida so we are going to do St. Augustine (oldest city in the USA) they have 3 million tiny white lights up and twinkling. Then we are doing a charity event for our local zoo, also all wrapped in millions of lights. and finally we will attend a local boat parade, it passes under a bridge about 2 miles from my house, so we will each make a mug of hot cocoa, and walk down to enjoy all the decorated boats. And as you can see in my pictures, we love Nightmare Before Christmas, (there are several ornaments and even a nightmare stocking under my tree, it's hubby's favorite movie), so I am making the wreath from the movie today. I bought the stuff during the black friday sales, so now I just need to assemble it. I think we are replacing all the holiday baking with holiday crafting. My family is a bit disappointed, but we won't gain the 8-10 pounds most people do this season.

Nice! I live in Titusville, FL. (Not far from Port Canaveral) and they put a synchronized music light display every year. Sadly, I can't have a Christmas tree because I have 7 cats and they think the tree is a toy. I used to put a tree up until it got to tiring to replace all the ornaments they would knock off the tree. Then one of the cats tried to eat the twinkly lights so I enjoy looking at other people's trees and decorations.
