viking86 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Some nice trees in this thread. Interesting to see the different traditions for when to put up the Christmas Tree. Here it doesn't go up until December 23rd, and I know that many people in Norway share that tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 ^I like having the decorations up for the whole month, as they really brighten up the house in the evening; however, Christmas lights after January 1 just look sad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Love all these tree pics! Great job of decorating, everyone. We can't have a tree because Bert would likely dismantle it in about 20 seconds, so it's not worth the effort to set it up. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Got ours up, a couple of days ago. And honestly, there are hardly any Theme Park Ornaments to be found on it. But, during this last trip, me and David did something unexpected...together, for the very first time. We bought tree ornaments, two from Amsterdam, and two from DisneyParis. Surprised us both, at the time, heh. And the second one, he actually brought one of the cards holding them both, to me, as I already had a pair in my own hands, lol. He just looked down at what I had, said "Cool" and took the other pair back to the rack. Here's our tree, without "stuff" underneath .....yet. How it always starts out in the front window. Brought the tree down, lights already on it, and tested them out. Everything fine. Now, to the Ornaments!... (o: Our two Amsterdam Birds, above a now featherless-dove, we've had for some time. A cupcake from our letter carrier! It was very nice of her to do that. My Super Friends mini-lunch box! And the thermos, too! Yes, Starbucks has ensnared my better judgement. Lovely little things. Something I found at Michael's Arts & Crafts shop: A put together personal ornament for us. The clear one, for those yummy Frappuccinos I get. Our Disney Paris pair. He's the Wreath; I'm the Candy Cane. Who knew??? (o; The Star over The Bear. Old ones, but we still put them up. Photo Ornament, when we were....much younger. (o; With Calliope and Chess, our then current cats, in our laps. A small favourite. Tree light goes inside it at bottom. Instant indoor lighting! I bought a couple of mini-gingerhouses and mini-gingermen to hang up. They are very tiny - and edible! More tinsel thrown on, and all is well. Actually, with it's "slight tilt" to the left, I'm thinking maybe a Whoville Tree or something like that next holiday season, hmmm?

Philrad71 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Here's ours...took me a while to remember to snap some pics! At night looking lovely as ever. During the day on my theme park side of the tree. Who can spot all of the Club TPR ornaments? How many are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 ^ Love the hat on top! Where was that obtained from, and how long ago? Being Nosy and Rosy. Happy Hollandaise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 ^ Had to ask Michael on that question...he got it at a shop in Epping, NH while Christmas shopping with his daughter a few years ago. Doing a Google search, I found 'The Christmas Dove' in Epping that has a ton of stuff, although this hat wasn't one of the items in their 'Tree Topper' section. Just did a quick Google search on 'Frosty's tree topper hat' and there are some similar ones that you can get on places like Amazon. I admit that I like the hat much better than a star as those never want to stand straight up. They instead limp over like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree when he puts the ornament on it!

cfc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I've been using a red bow because I haven't found a tree topper that I like; they all look a bit too tacky, or they flop over because they're so top heavy. But the top hat is a very cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Almost forgot one of the most important ornaments of them all: Shiriki! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 ^ I don't let my Shiriki near our tree! Don't trust him, lol. He stays nice and close to my computer, etc... Right where I know he is. (o; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent York Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I guess Six Flags isn't the only place with these coaster wannabe rides. Now Home Depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 ^ Actually Chuck, if you hung Shiriki in the back middle of that thing...could be an interesting decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Someone needs to tell/show the ornament manufacturer what a dive coaster really looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) This is still the best roller coaster/amusement park ornament. Edited December 19, 2015 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This is still the best roller coaster/amusement park ornament. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!! I LOVE it! It came from Hallmark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-sychiatrist Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just bought the Knoebel's one this summer, but it's already becoming my favorite ornament! just need a skull mountain ornament now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Tree's finished, and everything else is crowded underneath it. Hate the flash, but it shows how everything's puzzled together. (o; Much better without the flash IMhO. Ho ho ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 No tree in my apartment, but here's the Christmas tree at my parents house, where I will be spending the next days. And yes, there will very soon be gifts under the tree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Its always been a tradition growing up (and now with the wifey) to open one gift the night before. Nino got a new bed and some catnip, which he is enjoying here. He also just loves laying under the tree. Merry Xmas everyone here at TPR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 And the winner is... ^ NINO! Having true appreciation of all things Christmas Tree-ish! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithen1935 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hello there! I want to buy an artificial tree for the coming Christmas. So can anyone suggest me where to buy it from? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 ^ A store that sells them. I'm about ready to bring my non-live tree down from upstairs, and go to work, making it purty again with all it's lights (8 settings!) and a few new ornaments to be added to it, this time round. Will post it all, when I get going here. But - in the mean time - anybody want to show what they've got going tree-wise, this Season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 ...anybody want to show what they've got going tree-wise, this Season? Indoor, or Outdoor?? We have one beautiful Martha Stewart tree inside, and then we have 27 RGB trees outside, and one 20ft tall tree outside too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
