A Photo of Your Christmas Tree

Wow! Lots of trees and look at all those gifts.

I have not put up a tree in perhaps 10 years. We used to give our children gifts, but they can buy their own now. I don't need anything either. Yes, I know, we are a bunch of "bah humbug"'s.

However, tomorrow, we will host a Xmas party for some relatives. Just coming back from a grocery shopping outing with my wife.
 
Ah, come on, mine is a small freebie being decorated the “Fluffy Way”: put one unbreakable ornament on, play with Fluffy, put another ornament on, distract Fluffy. Gifts are in a glassed-in bookcase. I’ve asked friends to put one of their own ornaments on to be returned after New Year’s. Here’s the tree and favored gifts so far, unfinished oils by SO.

I love the oils! A lot!

Love this CuppaJoe:D
 
No tree at all for me (is that too Scrooge-McDuck-ish?). Haven't had a tree since 1995, though lately I have had the money for one.

We have a menorah and a (fake) poinsettia out. Our newly-sophisticated college student claims she's already decorated enough Christmas trees on the campus this year, so we aren't bothering either.

Especially not at $85 for a 6-7 foot fir. We've been using an artificial tree for nearly two decades now.

For its sentimental value, I suppose.
You're going to have to start building the 2011 edition when, the day after tomorrow?
 
Not quite the level of Braumeister who has a beer tree - I have beer under our tree in wooden 6-pack holders that I've been building.

Sorry for the crummy pic quality, taken with my BB camera (too lazy to get out the Nikon). A convenient LBYM sized 4 footer that goes in the basement fully decorated with a sheet covering it Jan thru Nov.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Leonidas, that is sooooo precious.

T-Al, now we have a new definition of "growing your own" for your county. Great project.

Hey Midpack, is that a TV I saw in your fireplace?

My fireplace has been cold for more than 10 years, but then I am in the country of the "dry heat". Temperature of 73F today and absolute blue clear sky.
 
After packages.... The tree has the star on top. Progeny in foreground.

^ Is that the new Brass Sax controller for COD Black Ops?
 
Yep.

I took a semester of slide rule in high school. We had to be careful the end of the stick didn't end up in a candle flame and start a fire...
