As it is December 1st at our house it was time to pull out the Christmas tree today - much to the delight of Miss Lara (aged 5 & 3/4's).  Since having young children in the house it has become tradition to put the tree up come the 1st :)   Here is this years tree



 

Another tradition - Ian and Lara putting the star on last of all

We look forward to seeing more Christmas Tree pics from y'all :)

With a helper like that, how can the tree not look great?  Children have a way of making the pretty look beautiful.  Merry Christmas!  Roger

You can tell you all like the woods. That yellow and black National forest sign gave it  away.   :D  I have to get mine out. Yes,it is a fake one,but after walking through a Christmas Tree Farm for 2 hours,trying to find that tree that she liked the best of any an hour ago,after looking at about 20 trees and not finding it. Than to get the perfect tree home only to hear,"If I would of seen that spot I would not of brought it",we went to a fake one. And she likes it up by now too. One year was kinda dry here, and the tree stopped taking water after about a week. That was tree was some dry by Christmas.

That's a great picture Lil!

I wasn't going to bother with one but a friend of mine said YES you are. So we went out yesterday on her day off and got a fraiser fir from a local tree farm. Even got it up with out too much hassle!

Thanks for the picture Norm.  Lara was really excited to see it.  She thinks your tree is beautiful and that you have done a good job.  She can't wait to see more pictures of Christmas trees.

Very nice trees folks, and Miss Lara looks happy as can be!  We're planning a move within in the next few weeks so probably not a lot of decorations here but we'll at least have a tree if all goes as planned (hopefully). Hope everyone can enjoy a Merry Christmas.

I think we'll end up installing ours sometime around the 12th or 13th, after a return to VA Beach from the mountains. I like all the trees shown so far. I'm especially glad that Norm put one up, too. :)

Lara is standing here mesmerised saying "WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW".  Her favourite part is the angel on the top :)

Thank you for sharing with her and a huge HI from NZ to your grandchildren, she really is enjoying this thread. :)

We have a tree that stays up all year long and Tammy decorates it depending on the holiday.  :)

Nice simple tree.....and beautifully decorated. Thumbs ups to Tammy.

But I gotta ask.......did you make the stand / stool with the checker board on it? Now that's country! Love it.

Sure did, and the checkers were made by forum members. They are in a wooden bowl behind the tree right now. The table was one we used at one of the Sawmill shoot outs. I brought it home and cut the legs off. We also have another one in the same room with forum members signatures on it.  Here is the topic

I'm 8 days late with the tree. That's what the wife told me. She really likes Christmas. I have to put the train around the bottom of it. Grandkids are getting older now. They can put the train back on the track when they make it fall off now.  ;D  The 19 year old Granddaughter asked me if I was going to set the train up. You all know what I said to that.

   

                                                                                                                 

We went with no lights again this year,except for the angle on the top.

   Lara , I think your tree is the best lookin' one yet  ;D
  We have not  put the tree up yet but that will come soon. My wifes brother and his family are flying in from Samoa next weekend and this place needs to be decorated, the outside was done today as the weather was mild. When the tree gets put up and decorated I will have a picture on here of it.

Jeff and Tammy your tree got an "ohhhhhh wowwwwwwwwwww"  The cfarm, Lara tells me yours is "more beautiful than ours"  So two seals of approval.  Thanks for sharing your trees - It's so neat for the whole family to enjoy the forum :)

We don't have our indoor tree up yet, so I took this picture of our outdoor tree just for Lara :).



Even though we live in the middle of a forest, there are no smallish trees in front of the house -- I cut them down for fire protection. But there is a small Grand Fir across the parking lot that is finally big enough to support a string of lights. It's nicely visible from the kitchen window and of course any visitors get to see it.

I got the lights up and working the day before the family came over for supper. My almost-4-year old grandson was just as excited about the tree as Lara is about hers.
