We haven't had a tree for the last 3 years (we usually travel around this time but not this year) so I'm VERY excited to have a tree!

And then, today at the swap meet (flea market), I ran across some gorgeous glass ornaments from the Czech Republic for only $1 each! I just added them to the tree and had to take a picture to share.

Wow, that's gorgeous!! Job well done.

And beautiful packages, too....I see you weren't on a mission to use up the wrapping paper odds & ends this year like I was!

Happy Holidays!

Beautiful tree Marcie!
I think it's even bigger than my 18 inch tree.

Sky, no, I didn't bother with those! LOL I often do but this year, I just threw caution to the wind

Hi Rob!

I was posting right when you were.

Yeah, it's a 10 footer. Takes me about 3-4 hours to put the lights on! All 1,200 of them.

It's alot of work but the result is worth it

Oh, what a gorgeous tree! I didn't put up very many decorations or a tree inside this year because of my 7 month old kittens and I really miss them. In the meantime, I'll enjoy your tree and wait for next year. Also, those gifts are wrapped so prettily.

Beautiful, Marcie!

Since this is the "tree thread" I'll include a picture of my tree ... or should I say Bob's tree? Bob "guards" it most of the time. The ornaments on the bottom two "layers" are twisted on to prevent their removal - after taking them out of the dog's mouth several times - and the presents have been hidden in the closet. Bob (along with Erik the Red and Dr. Ruth) have developed a penchant for tissue paper. *** sigh ***



Some of the ornaments (the peace symbol and the snowflake) were made from cardboard, elmer's glue and glitter, more than thirty years ago. At the time, I was expecting, it was my first Christmas away from home and we were DIRT poor. It was a "popcorn garland and home-made ornament" year. I'm surprised that they have survived this long.

... then again, at the time, I didn't think I'd survive this far into the future. LOL!
