Xmas Trees And Decorations.

Lolz, thats cool

Im going to steal that idea

 

Now that's a Christmas tornado if I ever saw one!

 

I will be spending Christmas in Delhi, and so have no tree. I am very jealous of everyone else's though.

 

i like forests more then i like the idea of cutting down a tree to drag it into your house. as for plastic or aluminum things that look like trees, that's ok i guess, if that sets a mood for you.
i think to be reminded to be considerate toward nature would be a better idea. i love the smell of actual live pine needles though.
you know, that and peace are what to me the season is supposed to be all about.

decorations, if they're creative, are good all the time.

 

I have an elf on a shelf here somewhere

 

My tree this year.

 

This tree is next door at my granddaughters' house. They put it up last Sunday.

 

i like the elf on a shelf. i have a couple of buddahs, a paper bridge, a larp mask of my cat 'sona, an elf stone (a stone with a natural hole through it) , and a tiny bell of elf summoning.

 

I'm not putting up too much this year. I do have a few ornamental peppers I'm going to use as decorations. They're edible, so after Christmas I can cook with them!

Prairie Fire Hot, instead of poinsettia




Bolivian Rainbow, like Christmas lights




Black Pearl, similar to holly berries




Medusa, er... Christmas snakes?

 

Here's a practival Christmas decoration I made,
a Chistmas bubbler!

 

I love his idea lucy! They all look gorgeous!

 

i remembered someone saying that when i saw this

i know its bloody awful, but it was pointed to by something about mench on a bench which was pointed to by an artist/writer i watch on another board.

 

my elf isnt that cool...

 

Here are some gift ideas. A family affair! The cat looks especially pleased.

 

There's also this elf on the shelf!

Well, I went over to my parents and we got the tree up over there! I didn't really get any good full shots of the tree but here's a fun decoration with the ree in the background. This thing spins from the heat of the candles and then a little metal pin hanging off a horse hits little bells on the sides.



And this is a closeup of the new ornament I got this year for the tree. It's a little flapper girl in a sparkly dress. She's dancing between a beautiful wood violin ornament my parents gave me as a kid and my Christmas amanita!

 

I'm not getting a real tree because they cause so much mess. The pines fall off every 5 minutes and the rabbit would have a field day. I went for a 6 ft snow white tree and decorated it with red and gold bobbles. It looks so pretty!

 

i never did like those glass ball things that i was always afraid one of the cats would bit and injure or kill themselves. i think little model tree houses would look good, and little some kind of plastic or rubber animal creatures like would live in trees. not dangling from strings, but like glued on top of the branches or something like that. just the lights and those tinsle fuzzy worm things. or strings of popcorn and canberries. well i don't have nor want things i would only be able to use once or twice a year. which is probably why i've never gotten around to making myself a fursuit either. but i do like the smell of (REAL) pine needles to go along with the season. smell of pine, snow, and people trying to be peaceful and nice to each other, that was the whole thing for me, and i kind of miss not seeing a lot more of that, instead of like, super smash brothers between sandy clawz and jehezuz.

well whatever, but my fantasy for a midwinter peace-mass, (instead of gift-mass and) instead of people in a mad rush to buy things to impress each other, really quiet, all snowed in streets with the only thing moving are a few anthro looking people, walking carefully to not slip and fall in the ice and snow, and trolley cars with maybe tinsel decorations and strings of colored lights hung all over them. and i guess all dressed up in warm coats and stopping to hug each other, and everyplace having free hotchocklet for everyone incase they need to get inside for a few minuets to get warmed up to keep from comming down with something.

i don't know how i got off onto that, i was supposed to be talking about decorations. well decorations are cool. wreathes of natural vegitation on outside doors, or over the lentles of them. not the little bean things but the part of fraiming over the top of doorways. lights. i always like colored lights. the more unusual colors of them the better.

 

We have a fake tree due to some pretty serious allergies in the family. (OK fine its me )

 

I had the worst reaction ever to a fir tree we got one year. The pines are usually okay for me.
