    Seasonal Stuff!
    I always love looking at other people's decorations, so I thought I would start a thread where we could share our pics of our Christmas/Holiday trees and lights. What ever it is you celebrate, and you want to show it off, here's the spot to do it!

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

    Awwww thanks everyone :)

    I wish I got a clearer photo of Brody with the stocking, would have made a good Chrissy card photo!

    I love that tree Shaz. I did mine all blue and silver one year. Then I did it all gold and purple one other year. I just prefer mine all wild and crazy. I have a huge mix of ornaments with meaning I like to put on so I mix it all up with colors.

    Shaz, the tree looks great!:D So do the dogs. Mine won't sit still when they see the camera, for some reason they feel the need to lick it and the close ups are no good.:rolleyes:

    Love it Bells. Beautiful tree.

    Mine's up, have pictures, but my computer is being picky. I can't download them.

    It's a pretty tree. Really it is!

    It never really changes from one year to the next. Can I post an old pic? :)

    Attachment 34461Two of the stockings are for Kugel and Bingo, but there is no way they are going to pose with them in their mouth unless Taz comes over and trains them.:D

    Seriously, they were happy, it was just around the 20th picture I took and they were tired of it.

    Geesh Jared, smile! ;)

    Great pics guys! Everyone has such beautiful trees!

    I didn't get around to finishing our outside lights this year :(
    V always helps me set them up just before it gets dark, so we can see how they look turned on, but still have just enough light to untangle the lights :D
    Only this year he has been leaving for work at 7pm every night :( It gets dark at 9pm :(

    I got a few up, but it's just not the same doing it all myself.

    Here's something that should cheer up all you guys that live somewhere snow free.

    Attachment 34468

    That was a few years ago. This year it's even worse. We had a blizzard yesterday. Driving is not recommended. I hate snow! :(

    I'm tellin' you Alty, Tasmania, it's the place to be ;)
    No snow, coldest it gets is -3C and that's at night in the middle of winter.

    I am finally getting around to this. Jeez what a busy time. With any luck it works. I have been having issues trying to load pictures here. But here it goes.

    This is the smallest tree I have ever had in my life! For some reason that was the lucky one I chose. Small, full and cute. Our pretend fireplace for our stockings is our stereo.

    Beautiful tree Sunny. It really is full. :)

    That reminds me. I haven't put the star on top of mine yet. Geesh. I'm so out of the loop this year. I'm not feeling it. It doesn't seem like Christmas. :(

    Someone smack me with some Christmas spirit please. Maybe when I'm done shopping I'll feel it. Sigh.

    Bah humbug. ;)

    Like I said these pictures are being a pain.

    I love my pillars on my island. You can't see it as well as real life. I wrapped berries and white lights. So so beautiful in the evening. I am in heaven here.

    Thank you Alty. Well usually I pick out the biggest on the lot and the hubby swears under his breath the entire time. This year I was so tired of the move and the new house and the mess all summer I just wanted small and cute. I was sure he would be happy. Well low and behold he was let down I didn't get the biggest. Grrrr... men! Wait 'till next year!

    I agree I am not feeling it either. But I have had to many changes at once for this season and its stressing me out.

    How are you feeling? I haven't crossed your path much and saw your not feeling well still?
  • Dec 19, 2010, 01:40 PM

    Wow! I love the kitchen! Gorgeous house Sunny! I love the brick work and the cabinets are beautiful. All very nice.

    It seems you've settle in quickly. I'm so happy for you. :)

    Men! My dad always picked the coldest day of the year to go out and get our tree. He'd drag me and mom along, we'd find the tree and then he'd spend what seemed like hours haggling over the price. Boy do I miss those days. ;)

    I'm doing okay. I went back on Friday for more tests. There's something wrong, but no one knows what. To top it all off my doctor's office moved last week, so they're all running around trying to find everything. I think somehow I got lost in the shuffle. I'll survive though. Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Right?

    I think that Christmas just snuck up on me this year. I'm usually much more on the ball than this. I can't believe it's already the 19th. I have so much left to do that even if I was in the Christmas spirit, I wouldn't have time to enjoy it.

    Christmas really is for children.

    Thank you. Well we slowly were able to settle all summer. I can't post some of the main bathroom but they aren't good. We have three bathrooms in total. Hang on.
