Thanks CP...couldnt wait no longer......:)

This one is especially for OLGA! Sorry that I haven't been around much lately - my class load is pretty heavy and I don't have much internet time.

BUT - I had time to start my Christmas trees this weekend!!!! Here's the first - all multicolor lights with multicolor ornaments and garland. This tree has about 2,000 lights! I'm also proud to say that all the decorations and lights were purchased in 2007 during Target's 75% off after Christmas sale. There I was hitting all the Targets in my area collecting this theme, driving around like mad...haha. :)

I'll put the tree skirt on when I dig it out of the Christmas closet. It's in there real deep and couldn't get to it yet.

[steph535]

these trees are SO beautiful! I just love it when you all post pics of your trees and decorations.

[Home alone 2]

Love the tree:) Wish I could put my decorations up now.

[Donna-50]

Every one has such nice trees.

Kitty, I have the same ornaments but I didn't get as much as you and mine looked a little sparse. I didn't use multi-colored lights either as I had bought a white light pre-lit. My new tree isn't as full as my old one that I put lights on but I gave it away before I purchased new one. Your tree looks beautiful. How did you do your garland?

[ChantelleJoy]

Kitty -- That Tree is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I very much enjoy specific colour-themed trees but Multicolour Trees bring me back to my Childhood!

I'm saving this photo to use as a desktop background on my computer this Season!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

Thank you Donna! :) I love the multi bright collection at Target, too!

I did about 10 strands of garland for the tree, which sounds excessive but my tree is nearly 60" at the base and almost 7" tall. I do garland by spacing it about 4"/10cm apart and gently layering it among the branches. :tree1:

I'm truly flattered! Thank you! :) My husband and I are big fans of multicolor trees...as you can tell...lol! They're really "happy" looking trees.

When I get my tree skirt out and under the tree, I'll post another picture so everyone won't have to look at the wooden platform anymore.

Thank you Tink! :) Is your tree up yet? *must dig through threads more*

It's a beautiful tree! :) Are you using C7 lights or C7-style LED bulbs? I love old fashion bulbs and now I'm contemplating running a few strands through my other tree, in combination with the mini-bulbs already on it.

Thankyou but you've lost me on the C7 thing....:dizzy:

[Kittyskyfish]

Thankyou but you've lost me on the C7 thing....:dizzy:

Ah! Sorry! C7's are a bulb size. They are popular in landscape lighting and occasionally on Christmas trees. Here are some pics:

I had to look closer - I was thrown because each bulb seemed really, really bright! Are your new LED lights the larger bulb size or are they tiny?

Isn't it odd how obsessed I am over bulb size? You'd think I was a man.

*cough*

They are very tiny and use very little power and the ones I have got 574 lights on each

and I have 6 of them..

*jaw drops!!*

If a christmas tree falls (under the weight of its decoration load) in a forest, does it make a sound? lol!

[Crazymike1965]

Hi Ladies :)


I should start to use LEDs. I am about 95 % finished setting up my tree and my poor tree has around 3650 conventional minilights in it. The tree has taken me 46 hours so far to set up. I am going to create a new thread for it and post pictures later on today.

I'll be posting pics of my other large tree - the 'family' tree - when it goes up, sometime around Thanksgiving.

[imsarahmiley]

Really admirable,
I like Marshmallow World's christmas tree must especially the top part of it.

[SnowAngel]

This one is especially for OLGA! Sorry that I haven't been around much lately - my class load is pretty heavy and I don't have much internet time.

That is a remarkable tree! Gorgeous.:christmastree:

[SnowAngel]

And here is another one from the tree taken with the mobile phone. :)

And some cheese rolls I made the night I started decoration.. :)

It's so much fun to bake something and enjoy it while decorating. Add the music, and it's a wonderland!

Oh yes!!! I had my favorite cd with old classic Christmas!! And yes, I agree with you, thats how I like to decorate!! Decorating, baking, while listening to wonderful Christmas music... :gelf::gelf:

[Papa_Christmas]

We do three trees.Here are the Christmas 2008 versions.

The Train Room Tree.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/buck1018/christmas/nov07_063b.jpg
This tree is located on my Train Layout(still under construction) and has only Train related ornaments.

The Study Tree

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/buck1018/christmas/nov07_086.jpg
This tree is in the study.It is decorated with mostly Hallmark,Avon and fishing ornaments.This is also the tree we put our presents under.

The Big Tree

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a231/buck1018/christmas/nov07038.jpg
This tree is in the Living Room.It is decorated entirely with molded and blown glass ornaments.Some of these date back to our first Christmas together in 1975.

[steph535]

Papa Christmas, you have lovely trees. My favorite is your living room tree. I have two trees and I also put my Christmas village under one of them, although I never put the village up last year. I think my favorite thing about ATC is getting to see all the beautiful pics. Thanks very much for posting these.

[Donna-50]

Beautiful tree's. I to have to say that love your big tree. I love hand blown ornaments. I have many that I have purchased through the years also.:santa1:

[ChantelleJoy]

Papa, your Glass Blown tree is just beautiful. Reminds me of my Aunt's tree growing up - she had a lot of ornaments from the 70s and 80s in this style. Thanks for Sharing!

[onemagicalchristmas]

I love your trees Papa!

[Papa_Christmas]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments.:tree:
ElfGirl, As much as I love my Big Tree with all its shiny glass ornaments the study tree is probably my favorite. It has several light and motion ornaments, ornaments my kids and grandkids have made through the years as well as many ornaments my mother gave to me The study is my get away. The walls are covered with fishing paraphernalia, old lunch boxes and toys, Railroad items. It’s the first room I light up every evening after work, then I sit back and unwind and think about so many wonderful Christmases gone by.:christmastree:

[ChantelleJoy]

Hey Everyone!

I did a bit of decorating over the weekend and wanted to share what I've got up so far, our Christmas Trunk with decorations & books as well as my mom's Nutcracker display.

More photos coming soon of my Christmas Village, other decorations, and hopefully soon, my tree too!

:dizzy:

[Donna-50]

Very nice. I have a collection of nutcrackers also.

Oh I would love to see photos of that! My mom loves them a lot. She dressed up as one for Halloween! :dizzy:

[markgbarba1987]

we should put up environment friendly trees this year.. help mother earth a tree at a time... Global Warming sucks, ugh.. :sad elf:

[ornamentmaven]

Here are some photos of my decorations

[Papa_Christmas]

Nice job! :elf3:Now we need to get you a train for that village.

[ornamentmaven]

Here are some of my Christmas decs:

[ornamentmaven]

Sorry I posted this twice. I was trying to figure out how to make the thumbnails larger!!
Maybe someone can advise me!

Actually, I do have a small train for the village, but it just doesn't fit with the current space constraints

[tinkerbell2]

Here are some of my Christmas decs:

wow I love your christmas tree..:elf3: and love the village scene too.:smitten:

[ornamentmaven]

Thanks. As you can see, I have enough ornaments for 3 trees! Hence my name! The village and tree take up most of my decorating time - many hours spent on each!

[ornamentmaven]

Chantelle Joy - Love the nutcracker collection. Mine is slightly smaller! I also collect snowmen and Santas:snowman::santa1:

[ChantelleJoy]

Thanks everyone! I'll let my mom know - the nutcrackers are her pride and joy! She's only been collecting for a couple of years, but I suspect in a few more years she'll have a much larger, fancier collection :)

Ornamentmaven - I love your Christmas Tree - and the entire space around the fireplace/mantel - very Christmassy!

[Donna-50]

Oh I would love to see photos of that! My mom loves them a lot. She dressed up as one for Halloween! :dizzy:

Will try to post some tomorrow if I can figure out how.
