O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum

It's funny to here but not decorate the house for Christmas, even wanting a lot, here in usually devote much for supper itself, with a great abundance and variety of food, and so much food that lasts until the 10th of January, anniversary of my mother, and when I want to see Christmas decoration will at the mall or in the pond to see the tree it, which in beautiful ta sign this year, but I feel so much christmas envy of Americans and Europeans, with snow and decoration and neat, here is so hot in this period that Santa has a special suit, shorts and t-shirts, lol

Lovely pics of your cat, Tikibirds!

I don't have a tree here in the UK, but we'll have one when I go to my mum's for Christmas. It'll be a real tree, too (fake trees are very uncommon in Germany). I think it's interesting that in many places around the world, people put up their trees and light them weeks before Christmas. In Germany, most people only put up their Christmas tree on Christmas Eve or maybe the day before, and it's not lit for the first time until we get the presents on Christmas Eve.

My husband and I are both atheists, but celebrate anyway. I've got a lot of great memories of celebrating Christmas with my family and to me the holiday season wouldn't be quite the same without those traditions. We have a small light up tree and a box of ornaments.

Lovely pics of your cat, Tikibirds!

He is my sister's cat but seems to think otherwise.

I don't have one.  When I met my now-ex in 2008 I gave mine away because he had one and I saw no sense in having 2.  I just haven't bought another one.

We didn't get the tree today.  I'm afraid we might not even get it set up this year.    But my husband went to the ER last night with chest pain (he is ok, thankfully) and we didn't get home until 6am and I didn't wake up again until 2pm.  We just ran out of time in the day.  I'm hoping maybe he will swing by and get it this week while I'm at work.  Otherwise, we won't get it up at all.

I would love to have a real one, but I have a fake one instead. I just purchased another fake one (for next year) yesterday, as the one I currently have up is on its last legs.

I love white trees, and refuse to go green for a fake tree, so it was quiet a feat finding another white one at a reasonable price.

We used to do the whole Xmas thing but over the years it was more effort than it was worth. Winter is the WORST time to buy gifts, since it's when we're all the poorest since much of our work is summer seasonal. So we decided a few years ago to just not bother with anything xmas, and really, it doesn't bother anyone.  We do a xmas dinner, bout it. We ask people not to give us anything because we won't be reciprocating. My best friend is more than happy to not do it, because to her "you're not buying me a gift, you're buying me an obligation" LOL. She shares the sentiment lol.

We still don't have the tree although we have a lot of Christmas ornaments I bought because I just can't stand how pretty most of them are, but we already found a perfect tree for us that's just waiting to be bought hopefully somehere in this week!

here people traditionally/usually set up the tree only on the 24th, so right now we wouldn't have one under any circumstances, but since I live together with my husband we don't have a tree at all. we basically travel through Christmas and never celebrate at home (first we either go to my father or my cousin, neither of whom live in the same city as we do currently, though they are pretty close. then on the 25th to my mother's family, to a village further away, and either on that evening or the next morning, to hubby's family, much further away. then we stay there for a couple of days), so even if we had a tree we wouldn't really get to see it a lot. in return, we get to see others' trees
neither of us is really happy about cutting out real trees, but we also both dislike fake trees, so not having a tree at home doesn't really bother either of us. though I do have a very small fake tree, and I planned to use it in a photoshoot, so I might go and set that up. I have just recently bought some small ornaments, but I want to repaint them. if I manage to finish the painting job in time I'll definitely set the tree up to see how they look on it.

while I lived at home we always had a huge real tree (like... 2.5-3 metres high, up to the ceiling), and I loved its size and its smell. my best pony memories are all related to Christmas, when my sister and I used to play with our older or just received ponies under and behind the Christmas tree.

I recently (within the last few years) asked my mom why we always got a fake tree when I was growing up. Apparently I'M the one who's allergic to Christmas trees! I guess it makes sense, but somehow no one ever actually told me over the course of all these years. Well, now I know, I guess.

Anyway, I got my fake tree up last weekend, then I put the ornaments on day before yesterday.

Just a small 4.5ft fake tree.  But I nerd it up well.
