Christmas tree build

Your tree is very nice, don't listen to that mean guy. Also, that mini recliner would be perfect for kitties.

 

So now I'm a mean guy eh?

 

In this case, yes. Not nice to make fun of people's Christmas trees.

 

Insert Christmas here..

 

That ribbon looks familiar

 

THAT'S HYSTERICAL!!!!! YOU EVEN HAVE THE BOW ON TOP, TOO!!!! 

 

We will high five it as in...great minds think alike

 

Here's our tree this year.

Dude! I have almost the same exact train. Had it since I was 4 or 5! It is by far my favorite! So thankful my mother saved all the ornaments from my childhood.

 

We have 3, yes that's THREE, Christmas trees this year. Apparently my GF loves Christmas. Since we spent thanksgiving on an awesome Hawaiian vacation the SWMBO decided 1 of them would be Hawaiian themed. We have this narrow spot between the entertainment center and doorway, hence the tall skinny tree.

It's not easy finding Hawaiian or tropical specific ornaments, even in Hawaii. Believe me I know, as she dragged me to every store that might have some while we were there. We ended up with wooden surboard shaped bookmarks, plastic hibiscus flowers and shell leis strung together to make garland. Bought a few fish woven out of palm fronds from stree vendors ($1 each). She ended up ordering swizzle sticks that had pineapples and volcanoes on them aswell as palm tree shaped. She modified them and TaDa! Tropical ornaments. I have to say she did a good job.

 

This is my tree.

 

I handed out ornaments and let the kids do their thing. This is our first year with a real tree. This was the night we put it up. The branches have since spread in the past 8 days. The tree is 6'2".

 

Yes, I go all out for my tree LOL

 

Trees and pole look great!

Keep 'em coming people.
