Da Trees

I've spent a good part of the evening running a program to clean up my computer, so it's late! I thought I'd show you a little more of my Christmas decorating tonight since it's too late for any deep, insightful thoughts. And, first of all, I should tell you that I took these photographs on a camera setting that makes the photos come out all pretty and warm looking but kinda fuzzy, so it's not your eyes, it's me.

Now, the living room tree--I call this "The Gay Guy Tree" because of all the fairies, gnomes, and Santas wearing velvety tights. Yeah, probably not exactly "PC" but just don't tell anyone, okay? The other option is to call it the "Fantasy Tree" but that has its drawbacks too. And then there are the big, red, glowing balls (which I don't mean to imply have anything to do with the name of the tree)--they don't photograph very well. They don't really glow that much in real life--the camera flash tends to do that. And what I don't think made it into the photo are some really cool brushed gold mercury glass LARGE ornaments of--well, I guess they're kind of like moon faces or something. Anyway, they're pretty excellent but they didn't make it into this photo--maybe another time.

Yep, that's the peppermint and candy cane tree, close up.

Then there's the Sweat Shop tree--see the faux button garland and Raggedy Annies and such? It seemed like a good theme for a sewing room tree.

And the office tree, which is next to me on the desk where I'm typing--that had birds and pinecones and berry garland--kind of generic but I like the more "rustic cabin" look. It works in here.

And finally, the tree in the guest bedroom. This one's decorated with snowmen and snowflakes. I think it needs a little more in the way of ornaments, but it will do for now.

By the way, contrary to the popular misconception, I do not have a bathroom tree. And we no longer have a tree in our bedroom because we found the lights kept us awake--not a good thing. So that's it for the Tour d'Tree. Thanks for stopping by!
