ooooh, I''ll play! This is my first year living in my "own" place, aka not a dorm or my mom''s house. So this year, with my budget, I didn''t really go all out. Here is my Christmas Tree- it''s the first tree my parents bought 21 years ago , 4ft. It''s prelit color lights, but the flash was on! Oh yeah and my grandma knit the little angel on the top.

The cats loooooove climbing under it though so that is not a good thing. Here is the top of our TV armoire- normally the candle are lit very night...

Haha I just noticed the movie on under the decorations.. great one. This is the last decoration we have... a beautiful wreath I bought for my mom last year. But then she liked the one I bought for myself so we switched!

ILA~ Congrats on your "first" Christmas! I remember ours. We had the the Charlie Browniest tree ever! I think it was a 6 footer with 100 lights and maybe a dozen ornaments!

Oh, and is that Erin on the tv?? I love that movie!

Lauren, beautiful tree!!!

Bebe, love the decorations!!! Awesome!!

 

[somethingshiny]

Catmom~ I''ve always said I''d like to come play in your jewelry box, now I want to come play in your Christmas decorations!

Lauren~ What did you use for garland?

bebe~ I''ve never heard of those Christmas fairies. Can you take a close up shot??

Great new pics everybody!

 

[bebe]

somethingshiny this is one of many... I got this pic from their web site.
I love ''em and collect them.

 

[bebe]

has anyone else gone nuts over the new flameless candles? I found this one at a local design store.
It has a timer built-in, that turns itself on and off at the same time everyday!! This is the better one
I have. I bought some cheaper ones that don''t have a timer and are no where this cool!

 

[bebe]

I have 2 of those cool timer candles in crystal bowls like this. Love it, no worry about a real candle!

 

[somethingshiny]

Those ornaments are really neat. They''re so detailed!

I don''t have any flameless candles that look like that one. Mine kind of suck so I don''t use them.

thanks MC. I love Christmas decor. It''s fun going up, but taking it all down (inside and out) can be
a pain.

Bebe! I love your fairy tree!!! I would love to collect them too (when I actually have enough space where I can have a tree like that). They are so cute!!!!

Do you have a combo of small and large fairies on your tree? I see they come in different sizes!! So adorable!!!

Love everyone's decorations!!!!!

 

[Catmom]

Thanks, somethingshiney!

Dani, I do have different sizes. Years ago the small ones, about 15", were anywhere from $12.00 -17.00. Now they are mid 20''s! The medium size ones are now pushing $60.00
and the large ones, 20-24" are at or above $100.00. They are fun and every year I would buy several. This year I bought 2 small ones that I thought represented my 2 children the best. Mark Roberts started the 12 Days of Christmas series a year or so ago. I sooo want all 12, medium size, but I think it is getting out of hand. I don''t need them, just want.

I proabably have around 45 or so. Never counted. I need to find a new obsession! They are easily found online, but it''s fun to see them in the stores.
