Just a plain white tree, strand of lights. Growing up we had a vintage star that blinked as a topper. My mom didn't tell me it broke, when I found out (i died a little bit inside) , but I found one sort of like it at Goodwill. That's it up top.

I love your white tree, I've always wanted a white one. But nobody else does

You're welcome to ours. I don't think we'll be needing it this year, if we move in with my parents. >< I do have a small white one as well! I'll most likely put that one up in our room if we do move.

We always cut a real tree from our garden, put it up in the morning of Chrismas Eve and decorate it then. The decorations are mainly red and gold. This was last year:

What a wonderfully sweet tradition! I love it! And the tree you had last year was beautiful.

mmm well each room of our house has a Christmas tree (not necessarily large trees some are only three or four foot tall and the bathroom has a tiny tree that is a foot tall). We have a ton of expensive ornaments and are pretty traditional so our main tree stays the same.  I could never just do a themed tree unless it was one of the small ones. I don't like just one type of thing on it or it to look all uniform. There is something about a tree having our multiple interests all over it in ornaments ect that makes it more fun and colorful to me.

Now I do have a tiny tree we keep in one room that for example has all the photograph pictures. We have gotten so many photo ornaments over the years it's hard to pick which ones go on the tree and you hate to leave someone out. All the photo ornaments go on that tree for that reason.

I'm going to do a white, turquoise, yellow and gold tree this year. Spray branches white and wedge them together in a pot. My Nan told me that's what they did in the war or what poor people did, I think it would make a nice change from evergreen.

Something along the lines of this...

Planning to hang lindor chocs, cinnamon sticks and star anise, small painted pine cones and small ornaments. I have some beautiful white cherubs from a German shop in bath. I want to get some fairy lights this year. Will post pics =)

That's a really beautiful idea, I also love the look of trees done in that style I think it's tasteful and adds a simple elegance, easy on the pocket and so many ways to pull it off I really love your idea of decorating with lindt chocolate and cinnamon sticks, not only will it look nice but your home is gonna smell so yummy

Yes I guess it will smell nice! You just gave me another idea, thank you! I also have cinnamon and orange essential oils so I could drop them on some pine cones and hang them to scent the other rooms

We designed this ornament last year in celebration of not only our first Christmas together but also to commemorate our wedding. The back of the ornament is a picture of us holding hands (taken on our wedding day after we exchanged rings obviously lol) and the words are part of our wedding vows to each other

So there you have it, I pic spammed the thread with my Christmasness  Who's next?

[kezrob23]

Beautiful!!!! I wish it could be me next, but it's getting warmer here so I have to wait another week or 2 to get our tree. But in my mind it's all planned!!

Cute, right? It all came about accidently I had various Christmas crafty supplies laying about and I wanted to work on one of my customs, so I was cleaning up and tossed the longer branches into the pony and I kept looking at it. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. So I grabbed more twigs, and some other supplies and just kinda threw it all together.

I love the branch as the tail too, it's cute It came together pretty good and it makes my art area all Christmas like

It really works! Lovely to see. I'm moving into my new little place on Tuesday so I will have top wait till then to decorate but I had two lovely Christmassy things today, first we put the Christmas tree up in the tea room at the museum where I volunteer, then I came home to ponymail of my first ever Powder, turns out she's NM too

AWESOME, Christmas tree pony!! I love Christmas; it's my favorite holiday. We tried a real tree last year but the poor thing didn't survive through 2013 so we're going with a fakie this year (the most realistic one I can find!) I'm not fancy with the rest of the decorating: just some lights outside and a few stockings indoors and I'm pretty much set. My boyfriend and I agreed earlier that nothing goes up until December 1st.
