Let’s see those Christmas trees!

[TonyToro Jr. 1,749]

Let’s see all those decoration trees! No matter how big or how small, real or fake. Let’s see em!

[WHX?? 50,610]

Barking up the wrong  tree here Junior ... pun intended ...  Haven't had one since 1932  when Christmas got commercialized.

I put the tree up Saturday. Then the herd of  (7) grandkids were over Sunday and decorated it.

Grandbabies are the main reason grandma decorates our house. Pam didn't decorate for a couple of years after our son died but when grandchildren came along, she seemed to enjoy watching them around the tree.  Our family certainly doesn't want to forget why Christmas is such an important celebration and now our oldest grandchild reads about the birth of Jesus from the book of Luke in the Bible.

No tree here in 1932 either.

If it were up to me, I'd skip the tree...but it's not my call. Mrs. M loves the tree, and the four grandsons (now age 13 to 21) are stilling willing to decorate it. So I guess it's the same old routine. However, this year we again have a new cat. Haven't had one since 2016. This might be fun.

I’m dragging in late. Mine is undecorated in the garage. Just got it yesterday, so it’s soaking up it’s first water and relaxing and hopefully shedding any hitch hikers.

 

Will bring it in tonight and decorate.

Reminds me of a certain squirrel in Nat.Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Never found a squirrel, but that movie always comes to mind for me as well. 

 

…Still looking for that high speed lubricant they used on the sledding scene. I’ve seen that movie dozens of times, and between that, the dog clearing his throat under the table, and the exploding cat under the recliner, I still belly laugh about those scenes!

Just watched it again on Thanksgiving Day.    My fave is the snooty neighbor trying to figure out what destroyed his stereo an left a wet spot on the floor.   Classic!

Um Beverly...  Even as a child that was   Just a little light up on the counter.  Not worth a photo

Fri after Thanksgiving is the traditional day for Christmas to move into our house. Start the day by hunting down & bagging a frasier fir to serve as our tree for the season. Next the decision has to be made as to what decorations will go on the tree (we have enough to decorate 3 or 4 trees thanks to my "crazy", I mean lovely wife ) This year we chose to go with glass bulbs.

They all look good.  But where are the electric trains around the base?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit underneath the tree the boys great uncle passed it down to them this year.

Posted in a different place but I can throw a pic on here too.

Got this last year as a gift. The Tabletop Charlie Brown pathetic tree - complete with theme music... Seems to fit in well...

My father in law used to work with a group who cut and sold Christmas trees.  Seems that shortly after the Charlie Brown special was aired on TV, the scraggly, crooked, ugly trees - known as 'clear cuts' in the trade - suddenly became desireable.

A few years back my wife wanted a tree that didn't take up space, so I made her this one that sets flat against the wall. She hasn't used it for a couple of years and told me I could throw it out if I wanted.

So, it became the official "Garage Christmas Tree"!

Yes sir, you’re gonna fit in just fine here on RedSquare. 

 

[kpinnc 13,634]

Got her all decorated and out of the garage. This thing drinks a gallon of water every day!

Like Bob, we can't have a real tree because of three adventurous cats that would be up in it in no time.
