your Christmas tree.

I thought this may be a good idea that people share a photo of their Christmas tree (if they have one), and talk about it.

I will take some photos later today.

This is not meant to be a competition, but it is always nice to see how others decorate the tree.

This is the Christmas tree I decorated.

Not a big one. I was in the shops trying to get more blue tinsels, how it's a bit hard to get the one you want when just two days before Christmas.

There are 40 blue baubles.

This is mine.

This is the one in my room I mean. The other one we aren't going to be able to decorate this year, we seem to have lost the ornaments.

The trees look nice!

I cannot put up a tree, because I have a cat. If I put a tree up, Mindy will start to paw at the ornaments (or take the entire tree down!) and the last thing I want is to have to vacuum up glass from a fallen ornament...

I did some last-minute shopping earlier today, did not see much in the way of bargains.

I hope everyone in our community has a wonderful Christmas.

And a Merry Christmas to you too, Edward and all the SillyDog members.

Now... would someone remind me of "how" I can post a digital image of my Christmas tree. I've forgotten how to do it. :shock:

We actually have two ... one on our main floor and one on the family room floor. This is the main one. Oh... and Merry Christmas to every member of SillyDog (and a very Happy New Year).

By the way... the color cast in both is "off" since I was shooting without flash AND under incandescent lighting AND I'm too lazy to mess about with PS to correct it. But you get the basic idea of our tree.

That's a nice tree James! :) Ours is pretty old now, it's due for replacing next year. I think we need more tree ornaments too.

(Sorry for poor the quality, I took the photo on my phone)

If anyone is wondering, why are there no presents under the tree? Fergus, the ferret (in my avatar), likes to open presents and parcels with his claws. :roll:

Merry Christmas to everyone @ SD701! :)

And Merry Christmas to Fergus! Mandrake, that story of your ferret cracked me up.

Hope Santa is good to everyone (even the naughty ones... heh heh). :lol:
