Reply #8 - Dec 7^th, 2009 at 10:59am That was from last year. I'd just got a new camera and was fooling around with the functions. I put it on a 2 or 3 second timer and backed away. Marc tried for hours to duplicate that effect with his camera and became frustrated. I jest love frustrating Marc.

LOL! That's what I was thinking.... Photography after too much Red Bull!

And I'm with Pat. The tree is still in the box! There is a short in a wire and half the damn lights are out. Either we buy a new one or get a real one this year. Just call me Scrooge....

Beautiful trees Melissa and Matt. Your is kinda cool too, Linda.

You all misunderstood. My tree's been up and decorated since the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

I just stuck it in a different corner this year and used the same decorations I always use plus a few more I bought in St. Louis while at the convention.

I'm just not in the spirit of things and don't feel festive. So while the house and yard are decorated, the spirit is not here.

It's lovely to see pics of your trees.

I'm still hoping that I could talk mom into getting a Christmas tree this year. We didn't have one last year and frankly something important WAS missing.

No real tree, no plastic tree... apparently we have too many quests and too little space. It's funny, because there will be 8 of us at the most (I don't know if Esa can make it, he might spend Christmas Eve with his mother and his brother's family) and in the past I recall that there were 13 of us AND a Christmas tree, so I have no idea where this mom's change of heart comes.

But looking at those threes is the next best thing.

This is going to be the first Christmas in my entire life when I haven't had a tree. I feel kind of funny about that but since I'm going to Paul's next Tuesday and we'll be at his parents for Christmas there isn't much point in putting up one at either house. We just won't have time to get one and we won't be there to enjoy it either.
I'll just take a lot of pleasure out of sharing all of yours and seeing Paul's parent's tree.

It's still kind of.. I don't know. I'm okay about it, I'm not upset, I just realised, I've never had a Christmas without a tree before.
