Merry Christmas

[LIL]

Thank you Brucer,

We get excited when this thread pops up.  Lara said "THANK YOU"  She's finding it hard to get her head around the tree being outside and not inside.   ;D

We will have at least 10 trees out side decorated with just lights. I have 7 up now,but no lights.These are all Charlie Brown trees. I just go out in the woods and cut then down and make a hole in the ground and put them in that way. Than we leave them up all winter for the birds. We have no trees on the front lawn. This helps the birds to get to the feeder,gives them a place to hide.

LIL, tell Lara our indoor tree will be going up this weekend.

The outdoor tree only has lights -- no other decorations. The lights are on a timer so it goes on just after dark and switches off at bedtime. If you look closely at the picture, you'll see the lights are shining off snow on the branches and beneath the tree. Snow in December -- I bet that's a novel idea.

When the snow gets thick, the lights make it glow.

   Here you go Lara, just for you. 

 

   Merry Christmas,

That's beautiful Marcel!

A lot of work, but I finally got the tree up. I like the smell of pine.
Merry Christmas ;)
(imagine a pic of a little perfume pine tree for deoderizing an auto hanging over some christmas presents, suspended from a back scratcher).  The image wasn't mine.

But the tree is coming...........

Deb and I will be walking the same local tree farm that I've been going to since 1970 as a child. I carried on the family tradition with my family, and we'll be out there this Sunday. This is about the usual time we get a tree. Too early, and it's dried out, dropping needles, and looking a bit bare by Christmas. We've always picked a Douglas Fir, and plan on the same this year. I'll be sure to post a pic for Lara as soon as we have it decorated.

It's going to be a long two weeks without the use of that back-scratcher.  :D :D

Barto, PA has Doug Fir Christmas trees?  Who'da thunk.

That's what the guy at the christmas tree farm tells me

   Here you go Lara, just for you. 
   Merry Christmas, 

Thanks, we haven't been able to get back to this post for a couple of days as we have been busy with Christmas Parties and end of year wind ups etc.  Lara woke up this morning thou and asked if there were anymore trees.  Marcel Lara is super impressed with your tree and thinks that it is BEAUTIFUL. 

Thanks for posting

Hey Lara! 

Here is a Merry Christmas to you all the way from Central Georgia in the US!

This is a wild cut eastern red cedar.  The lights make it hard for the camera to focus  .



 

[Norm]

Wow!

I'm impressed Danny, that is beautiful. 

[WDH]

My wife likes lights.  She likes the tree to be a little open so that she can hang ornaments throughout the tree and you will be able to see them.  She has hundreds of ornaments.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Danny, have you ever thought about asking Santa for a better camera?  :D

[isawlogs]

 I like them a little open also so the ornements can hang from the limbs, but the misses likes them fat and has the ornements lay on the limbs...  We need to cut the lower limbs off a little higher then normaly would be as it gets so full of gifts I'll try to get a pic of that this year.
   Danny what scale is your train, I like that under a tree.  All of those trees are really WOW...  8) 8)

[Jeff]

Looks like a g scale to me.

[WDH]

David,

I have camera operator issues  .

I am not sure of the scale of that train.

Here's our tree. Nothing fancy. Picked out and decorated by my 10 year old son. He likes things kinda gaudy like his mom!


  

 
Here is a cardboard bulb that I've displayed for almost 25 years. I bought it at one of our family auctions way back when. It actually cost my cousin's son in law his job at Wal Mart back then. He was caught by his boss loading it into his car after retrieving it from a dumpster. Apparently "dumpster diving" is strictly prohibited if you are a Walley World associate!

Apparently "dumpster diving" is strictly prohibited if you are a Walley World associate! 

A policy to cut down on the employees stealing things, by tossing them in the trash only to dive in and recover them later. An all too common method I've heard about in the past, so makes some sense.
But not good if someone lost their job if they didn't know the rules.

Hi Lara, Here is a better picture off our Little Christmas tree now that it has a bunch of packages around it. I also made a little video tour just for you so you could see some of the ornaments close up that Tammy put on the tree. Merry Christmas!
