Ok so thanks giving is over so I’m expecting people (who celebrate this holiday) are getting their Christmas trees sorted.
Show me! I love seeing what everyone puts up: fancy glass baubles, hand made paper chains, real/fake tree, red/gold classic colours or pink and fun?

This is my mini-tree that we have used the past 2 years because we’re renting a house while our home is being built and heaps of our things are in storage. DD loved unwrapping the little present decorations and didn’t seem disappointed when they all just had a block of styrofoam in there! I keep meaning to get her stocking embroidered with her name. Hopefully next year I’ll get around to it, seeing as I will need to buy one for DD2 as well!  |

We’re getting ours Saturday & I’m so excited! I tried talking H int going yesterday, but we really aren’t ready. Plus I need to find the darn elf before we get our tree & I haven’t. I think he’s in the stocking box.

This is before I finished decorating my living room and tree. I let DS decorate the tree by himself originally with mostly non-breakables and stuff that he made. His favorite was the plastic martini glass one and a hot dog one.  |

I love them all! Thank you for tree porn.
I love real trees and I love how a big fluffy tree looks in the cold weather. I was in the UK one year for Christmas and the cold definitely added a gorgeous air to the season and twinkling lights.

I went with a super skinny tree this year. My decorations are mostly antiques I’ve collected from antique stores and the ones my grandmother passed down to me, plus the special ones my mom buys and my kids have made. I’m a majorly nostalgic person, so everything has to have a story. Also my sister is ahead of the game this year and already bought, wrapped and delivered our presents.  |

wakemom that is so lovely. I’m not particularly sentimental but I love the idea of collecting ornaments with meaning over time. Meanwhile, have I obsessed about your dog yet?? What breed is it? Gorgeous.

I love Christmas. My decor is bright and borders on Whoville obnoxious. This tree can be white or colored lights. Note there are currently no ornaments on the bottom third because toddler be toddlering. He does enjoy throwing his Little People into the tree when I'm not looking.  Eta: Our ornaments are a true variety. My sister and I both enjoy making handmade felt ornaments. We also have all of H's from his childhood on the tree. I'm continuing that tradition and get one for O every year; when he's grown I'll give them to him for his tree. |

It's not decorated yet, but I decided to get my tree set up to see what I need. My mom works at Kohls and this was a display tree she bought on sale after Christmas last year for me, so I'd never seen it set up! And, what nobody knew because it was packaged up again when she bought it is that it came prelit. Sweet! Now I can't wait to get the decorations and do this tree up right this weekend :-)  |

ok, my husband's family is a bit christmas crazy, so we have 3 trees. I've always wanted a house with the ability to put a tree in the front window, so I got that with this house but it's in our spare bedroom. So naturally we needed one in the room we spend the most time (upstairs bonus room) and then my MIL decided we needed one for the main family room (more of a sitting room but is open to the kitchen/dining) on the first floor so she gifted us a 9 foot tree for that room. I should add, the two skinny shorter trees are just 'pretty' ornaments. the taller tree in the family room w/ the stockings are all "special" ornaments from my husband's childhood and ornaments we've collected together. His mom gives us each a special ornament each year that has something to do with the year. This year we got a camel (since we will be spending Christmas in Dubai) and a parents to be ornament.

I can finally play! Right now, it’s all nonbreakable ornaments, either ones we’ve collected on travels, made, or that caught our eyes at Target/similar. Between the toddler (2.5) & 7 month old puppy, I have zero interest in glass right now. It’s cheesy & I love it. |

Yep! It’s why I have to wait so long. I would have loved to have had it up a week or two ago. |

We had our hardwood floors refinished this week and still can’t get in our house. All that I want is to decorate for Christmas (and get away from my MIL). 😭
