I tell ya what color I am so drawn to lately and it is the funky green and red.. not Christmas Green, but almost lime. One of my trees is done in that.

I have two trees done in all red, and I have a blue/silver tree too...

Every time I see the lime and pink trees - I love them!!! They just wouldn't work in my house!

In one of my Christmas magazines, it has the kitchen decked out in the lime green and pink. It was so cute. White cabinets set it off.

I love snowmen.

I did a blue/silver tree this year.... and it just looked like it was missing something. I should have known that SNOWMEN would be perfect to add!!!

My husband is going to want to kill me if I go buy more snowmen stuff though. I already have snowmen figurines everywhere that I've collected over the last 20 years. I just don't have snowmen ornaments.... YET. I think I need to go to Hobby Lobby to find some this weekend when I go to Sam's Club. Maybe I'd better not take him with me, and take mom or Kara with me to shop instead.

I cross-stitched the cutest snowmen ornaments for my daughter when she first got married. She doesn't use them anymore! We were talking about them the other day. If she would give them back to me, I would mail them to you!!!

I have never had a themed tree, I think I am just too sentimental!

When I was a kid we would get an ornament in our Christmas Stocking every year. (actually we still get one every year, LOL) When we got old enough, my Stepmom gave us each a box of all our ornaments we had gotten over the years. It just wouldn't seem like Christmas without all my ornaments on the tree!

Me, too. I have totally mismatched ornaments--things the kids have made, their first ornaments, ornaments given us as gifts, etc. Every year we each go to the store and pick out one new ornament each--they can choose whatever they want.

I am still trying to decide whether I have the courage to do a SMALL tree this year... It just seems like WAAAAY to much work for too little pay out!

It looks like it would fall over. I'm not a whimsical person. I love to look at this tree, but I would never decorate with it.

I like the heavy gold that Foreverblessed doesn't like. That has always been Christmas for me - red or burgundy, hunter green, gold - sometimes silver. Love it!!!

I like this tree.

I hear you! I put mine up late. Tried to take a picture and all the glitter and gold comes out yellow! My fruit looks pink from the sugar glaring at the camera lens! I don't know how to fix it.
