I need some tree inspiration/motivation. I want to see all your Christmas trees!! Then hopefully it will give me the push to put mine up.

I need a better tree skirt. MH’s grandmother made us that one so I hate not to use it but...

tgrimes, what if you got a larger solid color one and layered your current one on top?

Thanks guys. In the past I’ve used command hooks and hung them on the wall, but I put a bookshelf where they normally are. I got the idea from someone else but it’s a much better option. Plus DH’s grandpa made the coat rack so that’s nice too.

tgrimes you need to get a second, smaller tree. That way you can use the little skirt under that one and get a bigger one for this tree.

Here is our unfinished tree. Mh and Cadence put it up Thanksgiving night and I didn't feel like helping. Ignore the messed up skirt, the cats like to wrestle in it.

Y’all are going to make fun of me but I really want this other Nutcracker one but it has to be cross stitched and when the hell do I have time to do that!

We got it on Saturday and decorated on Sunday. It's still standing, so it's a success so far.

So many pretty trees so far! I'm still enjoying fall foliage and not quite ready to give up fall.

We have a fake tree that just doesn't seem to support a topper. Does anyone have a trick to keeping the stars up? If I can't figure it out maybe I'll do a bow

We finally got our tree up. I ordered a new tree skirt though because I don’t like the one I have.

So- I get this type of tree because the only space in our living room for it is so small.... between our cats (who are obsessed with it) and the toddler... I’ve given up. It’s so sad looking. All bottom ornaments are gone. The skirt will literally be in another room when I wake up and the tree will be unplugged.... because of the cats.... they go crazy on it. Don’t laugh at my tree.... or do. Lol 😂😭🤦🏼♀️

We just got ours up!! I love our tile floors, but oh my god to kids handling glass ornaments over tile. Thankfully we only lost three and they weren’t sentimental ones!! Also we desperately need a new tree skirt. This one is so small, it barely goes around half the tree. Maybe I’ll try the sheet idea.

I use a white fleece piece I got at a fabric store. Looks like snow.
