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

Here's mine

I love your tree topper I've saw one that did a white tree and the snowman head topper, a scarf and black ball ornaments for buttons very cute

Merry Christmas to all!

I got mine from Cracker Barrel last year. I just wanted something different. Thanks for the compliment

The first tree is our tree in the family room. It has my little Pom Keiko in front of it. The second tree is a memorial tree that I do for my brother every year. He passed December 4, 2009. This is my way to remember him at the holidays.

Here's my tree. Happy Holidays to everyone!

This is my favorite thread. I love Christmas more than anything and this is the first time I've had a real tree in my entire life! I love it! Merry Christmas:)

Love the dog, I bet he is having Santa puppy dreams. We have 3 dogs, all from rescues, and 2 of them were added to our family this year, so this is their first Christmas with us. They are both doing great with the tree. The one is a Cavalier King Charles, and he is not sure of the blinking lights when we first turn them on, but he seems fine after a few minutes. My female, was a stray, in really bad shape when the rescue took her in, is just glad to have a home, and people that love her. She "helped" put the tree up, she had to smell every ornament, and then she would sit while we put it on the tree, smell the next and sit, it was really funny. I was worried that she would be in the tree when I wasn't watching but it went up Friday and nothing has been touched so far. And they didn't have a chance to sleep under our tree, I wrapped the gifts I bought on Black Friday and put them under the tree already, so there is no room for pups.

I THINK I LOVE YOU

I'm crazy for my dogs. They are my fur children. I do have a "skin child" too. She gave herself that title, and says the pups are her siblings. We work very closely with the rescue that Kammi came from. My daughter, she is 12 1/2 volunteers on adoptions event days, walking pups, and cleaning up after the littles that aren't house trained yet. She is just as much of an animal nut as I am. She also has a rescued red footed tortoise, and we take in unwanted sugar gliders. it's like a small zoo in my house. This is my daughter with Leo the Cavalier King Charles, he's the newest member of the family. This is Me in the purple (pre-op) holding the English Toy Spaniel Mix, my daughter Abigale in the middle, and my husband holding Kammi, the mixed breed that was brought back from death's doorstep.

I have so many ornaments that I need 4 trees! Here are 3 of them.

I started another thread here addressing the weird fact that many of my ornaments are food related.

Check it put!

Super cute ornaments! Your trees look great! - and also your family!!!
