Thank you.
I tried uploading it but got the message that it was too large.

The coloring is a little strange, too much light I think.

Here is a pic of ONE of my wife's trees. She loves Christmas and the ONLY regret she seems to have about Pastoring in the deep south is missing the changing of the seasons... she says "Christmas trees and cold just go together".

She seems to make up for it, however, by putting a tree in our formal living room and another in our 'family' room. The pics are the ones from her formal living room. If you can't tell, she loves certain types of antiques... like antique rockers and antique lamps as you can see in the picture.

She has more of a 'classic' type Christmas tree in the family room... and likes to try now things with the one in the living room. For that reason this one changes about every other year.

Don't bother me much as long as I'm not the one that has to decorate it!

My tree is still in the box. I was going to decorate it this week. But after seeing these pix, my humble tree would look like a Charlie Brown reject.

I'll try to post the outdoor decorations instead.

Everyone has such pretty trees. I am now depressed, however. Some of you have already wrapped presents under the tree. I haven't even finished my Christmas shopping.

Did you say that you now own a camera like mine?

I must say your works very good!

Yea, I love the grapes too - there are more on there, but just on the other side.

Yes, CC1 made a commercial for the Fugi camera like you guys have and I couldn't resist buying one. So far, I'm really pleased - - a whole lot clearer than my other digital camera.

Pray for me. I have nothing to bow to this year.

With a five month old kitten who lives (meant to write loves but lives works well too) to climb, bringing home a tree and putting things on it would just be like giving her a BIG OLE EXPENSIVE TOY. Her enthusiasm might actually get my 11 year old oversized furry lounge lizard back into climbing and I could just see the results of that. Not going there.

If I want to look at a Christmas tree, I can go over to my parents' house and admire theirs. Plus, that's where we do Christmas every year anyway.

Some of the ornaments are hanging on the very bottom of the tree and look off centered. There are a couple of spots where there are three of the same ornaments right together. I still haven't gotten around to fixing it to my liking. I usually do this "re-arranging" when they are not around. They have so much fun decorating it...and so far they do not notice when I "fix" it.

OH how sweet....we need to see it ....as it is...PLEASE!

I love the "themed trees", but the hodge-podge trees are my favorite!

I can't let go of the traditional tree either. I love the ornaments that my son has made through the years. They are the most special. We also collect ornaments from places we visit.

When we had a kitten during Christmas one year, we had to end up taking the tree down because the kitten wouldn't stay out of it.
