Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Some holiday cheer (pictures of Christmas tree)....       #293502 - 12/13/06 01:29 PM Edit Reply Quote Snowy Reged: 03/23/05 Posts: 406 I'm having a hard time grasping that Christmas is coming so quickly. I thought it might be a good time to try to spead some holiday joy so I'm posting a picture of my Christmas tree. We're living in our new house now and it's 4 times the size of the old one so I actually have 3 Christmas trees but this is my favorite one. Photobucket I've always wanted to have a white tree so this year I treated myself. I fell in love with the red & pink decorations from Pier 1. Unfortunately they cost anywhere from $4- $10 each so I couldn't afford as many as I would like, but it still looks nice. My husband said that he doesn't mind the hot pink (as long as we can have blue next year )!! My other trees are a (fake) green tree with the traditional green & red decorations and the third one is a mini turquoise tree that I have sitting on my kitchen countertop. I would love to see everyone's trees and decorations and to hear about your holiday plans. -------------------- *********************** IBS-A, with bloating and gas as my predominant symptoms Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Ohhhhhh!!!       #293522 - 12/13/06 04:18 PM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) I love love LOVE white trees!! Yours is so pretty... I'm completely jealous! Our tree is very silly this year... we're going to my mother's for a few days for Christmas, leaving behind 2 mischievous cats who like to mess with decorated trees. So instead of a full-size tree, I busted out my little 3-footer and decorated *that*, figuring that we could pick the whole thing up and put it in Adam's office before we leave.... and not come home to a mess of broken glass and injured cats! Adam's teased me an awful lot about this tree. LOL! It's a shame you can't see the colored lights... it's quite pretty, for a silly tree.

I couldn't resist. And for anyone who wonders why I'd spend money on such an eyesore...I love purple and it was $2.00. That's right, 200 pennies. -------------------- *********************** If you're not dead, you've still got time.

He only gets the unbreakable ones! Now I just need to get some of these Christmas gifts wrapped so the tree doesn't look so lonely!

I get the cat thing, my dogs could care less about the tree but we have had to rescue big boy (12 pounds of Persian kitty) twice now from the upper branches!
