Trees around the world

Thanks to everyone who contributed with pictures of their trees and friends, I am sure more will come as we get closer to the day.

I have more less finished loading the tree up with balls and things, I haven't rushed through a mix of tiredness and boredom.

this is my tree for 2013

My Electric fire is just really for show because i had the Chimney breasts taken out when i modernized the house plus it's attached to the surround & i hardly ever use it because i always have the Gas central Heating on. Looking at the space you have between the windows i wouldn't know how to go about finding a fire to fit that gap.

Fire surround

Yes that is a classic fire surround these were installed in most bedrooms & were in my home originally when it was built. Still very much available here in the uk to buy second hand, possibly you can find one on Ebay.

I'll have pictures of mine sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday.

A pair of sustainable farmed Nordman firs 8ft and 6ft were picked out and will be delivered on Monday

I've been too busy to do it sooner.

2013 Christmas Tree

Decided to go minimal on the ornaments this year.  The tree I found was so perfectly shaped I didn't want to cover it all up.

I like the Noble Fir trees... but it's hard to find one that has a decent shape. I guess they are a bit more fussy about how they are grown, and if they are planted too close to each other or other objects they'll get skewed.

But haven't done the tree thing for about ten years now... found an antique fake tree in the attic, along with vintage cloth insulated C7 lights with bakelite holders must be from the 50's. Woo woo. Maybe I'll put up some LED lights on the front of the house this year.

Or maybe a Festivus pole ;-).

This is our tree for 2013. I bought this from one of our members last year when he mentioned that he had to downsize his tree collection a bit. It's much prettier at night in a darker room, as most trees are, but hard to capture the changing colors from the color-wheel light.

I have to say, I've never had one of these aluminum trees before and was a bit wary that it wouldn't satisfy like a green variation but my son and I are both thrilled. At 20, he wasn't too interested in the tree process much the last few years but he was all over this job. I bought some multi-color balls and we had a good time hanging them and he commented that we should have this tree every year now. Thank you again Sammy for making a great new tradition possible. We love it!

Yay aluminum! I've put one up just about every year since I got my first aluminum tree in about 1999 or 2000. It was a birthday present from my parents.. I may or may not own more than one at the present time, with multiple choices for ornaments. We totally flipped the living room around this year -- needed someone a tad different. I also got some new ornaments from Tarzsay. Yay Christmas!

Here it is during the day. I really wanted it in a window so the sun would hit it during the day... It's like a disco ball!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Also put one in the kitchen window this year...

You're more than welcome, Gregg. Glad you're enjoying it. I was hoping you'd post it here this year! Will get a pic of mine up in a few days.
