Is your Christmas Tree up?

[bcipam]

Gorgeous tree, bcipam! Ours are never so thickly branched...

I hope you all realize that tree is fake - an expensive fake. Since I live alone it was just so difficult to go out by myself and hunt down a tree, get it into the holder and then take care of it. Fake tree takes me a day to put up but it's worth it especially if you hve "overdecoritis" like I do. I can manipulate the branches to fit certain ornaments and during the seasont he tree does not droop or change shape. I use Bath and Body Works pine scented plug ins to make up for lack of scent.

Oooh, I might have to look into those plug-ins! I use the Crabtree and Evelyn oil, but the scent disappears fairly quickly. A plug-in could solve that problem!

I want to see the unmentionable improvisation from the nether regions myself!! (It's still more than I've got. I will take a picture of my "tree" at some oint :-))

I'm debating whether to handmake cards that look like your bike-n-tree, Geonz; or whether to just buy a box of 42 bland cards at Costco for $15.

Is that your Xtra cycle?

How do you get your pictures to show up. It keeps saying failed fille upload. Are they too big?

Beautiful trees, you guys!!

Our tree experience has been rather interesting this year....

Well, we assembled our fakey tree yesterday and plugged it in to make sure the lights worked, etc. Some of the lights didn't come on, and my DH reassembled it to see if that was it. Nope. It's the tree. So, we decided to just make do with it this year and buy a new one next year.

We hadn't decorated it yet and I was sitting nearby doing some household-related paperwork. Pretty soon I started smelling something -- thought it was just my imagination until the smell started getting stronger. Yep, it was the tree. The thing was smoking!!!! Must have had a short somewhere.

So tonight, inevitably, we bought a new tree. Still have to put it up. Let's hope it's smokin' in a good way.

Happy tree trimming, everyone...

Suzie - do you first load your photo at either photobucket or snapfish or one of these types of sites? You need to do that first. Then you just copy and paste the url over by using the insert image button. I sometimes have to clean up what copies over (I get [IMG} usually twice and have to delete one first).
