So go ahead, post your Christmas trees!

We downgraded this year to a tall but skinny tree. Guess so we don't have to put as many presents under it? :( (sorry for the quality, camera on my phone)

at the time of the picture it didnt have the skirt, and the lights were blinking, so not all of them show here, but that was pretty much my tree....
Also, due to editing in the big black blobs via Paint, the quality of the pic has been reduced greatly (from 2+ megs to 355Kb) so if it is blurry, just shrink the silly thing lol. (The edit removed me and a couple of wedding pictures that were on the wall)
Here's ours. Well, one of them.

I refuse to show mine. Seeing how it's only about 4 foot tall, And totally purple. My Fiancee loves the color purple , So our tree is covered in purple decoration's and purple and white light's. The star on top is a gaint glowing purple STAR!
If I feel like being laughed at , I'll surely post the pic.

Beautiful, but what do you mean by one of them? How many do you have?!
All the trees in here look very narrow and tall, I've never had one like that. For me they have to be round with a lot of long branches. Differences in taste, I guess.
My Christmas tree, been looking like this for as long as I can remember:
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o314/Goldenreed911/ChristmasTreeModified.png
That's an insane amount of photos there, Admiral!
Yeah, with our tree, we like to "personalize" it I guess you could say. We don't use too many round ornaments or whatever they're called. Colorful lights, then it's all stuff like "Star Wars Ornament, Baby's First Christmas, Hockey Figure, etc." ornaments. I guess that's another thing I look forward to with Christmas, being able to look back at the old ornaments and Christmas memories. It's always been in that corner, and some of the ornaments have been used forever lol.

Whats up with all the skinny trees? Just to save space? Carocat, your tree kind of looks like a bush because of how its cut I suppose.

That's a nice tree ex nihilo7, I really like the colors. Yeah I agree lol, I'm not too much a fan or skinny trees myself.
And @carocat, yeah the ladder is one of my favorite parts of it. The top elf has my dad's name on it with a tool box, the next is my mom's, next is mine, then my little brother's. I think my grandma made it for us, she's good at sewing or something.

Well, that's kind of what I was saying with my post about narrow trees.
And there's nothing wrong with it looking like a bush. Yeah, it's a shame it's not as bushy at the top, but at least the bottom bit's really full.
Oh and I put your picture in your post. And I have no problems with imageshack?
lol, I haven't had a tree in the past 4 years because I'm lazy. :lol: I miss having it, but I'm not willing to put in the time to put it up and take it down. :-(
Neither have I, I'm at my parent's house at the moment, hence the tree.

All the trees in here look very narrow and tall, I've never had one like that. For me they have to be round with a lot of long branches. Differences in taste, I guess.Oh only two. The other is a white tree which is only 5 foot tall and that's in the main room in the corner. The tree you see is ft 6.5 and we only purchased that one this year. Up to last year we had a big 7ft something tree which spread out quite far and simply took up too much space. This time we went for the Norwegian Pine look.
HDR or do you have real life back-light hax?Neither were used. In this instance that glow from the rear of the tree is the by-product of the tree having 500 white lights on it. That's simply the reflection and glow round the rear from the blinds.

How about this: I know I won't get any presents this year! Getting older sucks!
And I've never seen the village, ism't that a horror film though?

The Village, is a horror movie. Although I must confess; I've only seen a portion, got bored and, then jumped on Wikipedia to get the rest of the plot line.

Thanks. I have 2 christmases, one at my fathers side of the family and one at the mothers side... they live in a small town about 5 hours north from where I live now. So christmas is hectic.
This is a good image of the relaxing side.
