Post your Trees!

Picked up this year's tree yesterday. SWMBO is always so into Christmas. She had the tree decorated in 45 minutes.

She also had most of the house decorated on Saturday...

I even joined in by building a nice fire and stringing my special grape-cluster lights...

Sadly, it appears you also had the Giants game on.

My Xmas tree in my office at work. Because every Geek needs a Star Wars/Star Trek/Sci Fi themed tree!

COOL GLOWIN!!!

I was thinking that I was the only one. We have been collecting the star trek ornaments since TNG was still running (1990 or so). I have an entire string of them!

It was a bit of tradition between me and the MRS. Our first Christmas together we ended up getting the same gift, a star trek ornament, and have been doing that ever since.

SWMBO banished the Sci Fi ornaments years ago LOL So I bought a small tree and have been putting it up in my office for about 10 years now and each year people bring an ornament or two to add to the tree. Some of them are collectors pieces now and worth quite a bit of money so the office gets locked when I am not around and the tree is up.

That one is fun as she talks (with Rosie's voice) when you press the button.

I am fond of the Robby the Robot myself. He talks and lights up.

I wonder how much my ornaments are worth. Since we get two every year, one has been going on the tree, while one remains in the box.

 

[ibglowin]

Some of mine are worth hundreds and are collector items which is why I lock my door when not in my office while the tree is up. Things have been known to walk off during after hours/on weekends…..

The Mann Family Christmas Tree.

For about 20 years now I have gotten real balsam trees from my brother but he isn't selling them this year as they have gotten too expensive to buy and resell at a reasonable cost. In light of that, I expect my tree to look like this one:

Here is a tree from 9 years ago when this forum was run by Fine Vine Wines. The sleigh flies really fast. That is how Santa can make his rounds on time...............

View attachment 26169Here is our Christmas tree. I’m sure my family is tired of my story, lol, I tell it every year. Each year Mike and I try to buy an ornament with the date on it for our tree but the star on top is my mainstay. It may look pretty rough but it will never change. This is the star that was on my family’s tree when I was growing up. Santa never left us much under the tree. Actually, we never had much of anything thru the year but the Star on top of our tree always shined. My mom gave me the star when I had moved out of the house, and there were times the year was pretty rough but at Christmas, that star always shined! A few years ago I unpacked the ornaments and there was this hole in the middle of the star. So I realized she needs to rest, I buy a new one. Not the same and I just did not like it. So I complained about not having my star that has been with me all thru my life. My daughter goes on a search to find me my star. And she does, actually two of them! She has them sent to me because she was living out of state at the time. Well I get the package and yes the stars are an exact replica of the one on top of my tree but they were not tree toppers, they were designed to screw into a socket of an old Christmas light! So I look at them and realized they can be torn apart, Mike and I take one apart and it fits over my star!!!!!!
My family star still shines and lets me know no matter what happens thru the year, she will shine on top of my tree!
