It's time again this year to have a thread where people can post pictures of their Christmas and holiday trees and decorations. I'm posting this in the PC section so all the sites can see it.
Here's our tree. This is about an 8ft. Fraser Fir.
Don't have mine up yet. It will be a tabletop, fake tree. Probably not worth showing.
Yours is nice, Spencer! 
Couldn't find a small tree this year, so I had to settle for this:
I don't have much room for a large tree, but here it is anyway...
Whole december is christmas for you guys? We clothe it the day before christmas eve, and throw it out a week later. No feeling-good on our watch!
My wife puts ours up during the long weekend for Thanksgiving........ I should say my son and I get all the "stuff" out of the shed, put up the tree and she decorates it.
Nice trees, sadly I don't have camera handy, but I can describe mine. It's a small plastic thing, filled with decorations and christmas lights, to the point where I think it will catch fire. It's also decorated with papercraft characters from The Witcher 2. Who needs an angel or a star at the top of the tree when you've got Geralt.
EDIT: Same goes for you Fuzz. Holding back on colors gives it that "feel"
I don't do -any- decorating, at all.
Just a friggin waste of time, and half the shit never gets taken down afterwards...
I also dont have a christmas tree on my own- simply because my dog pees on it... its natural for him to do so
thats why i have a a tiny christmas tree inside a a bowl filled with water ( dont know the translation for that thing but if you shake it tiny snowflakes fly arround in it )
It's called a Snowglobe 
thanks need to remember that
ssssshhhhh!!!! We don't have Christmas trees anymore. They're all Holiday trees now. Don't want to offend.
I just call mine 'midwinter tree'. But it is nice so many people join me in celebrating paganism by putting up a tree
What did the pagans call it when they invented the tradition? Wouldn't it be more politically correct to call it that?
The whole pagan thing is an old wives' tale. Martin Luther started it when he saw the beauty of the stars shining behind the tall trees, snow-covered. He wrote a poem about it. Not too long thereafter Germans were putting candles in trees as "stars". Needless to say, candles in trees are not exactly safe, so naturally Christmas lights followed thereafter.
No doubt this is going to spark a bunch of debate over the origin of Christmas, but I'm sticking to it. And those people who can't stand calling it a Christmas tree can kiss my behind, as far as I'm concerned. A spade is a spade, and a tree is a tree.
here is au we try to NOT light up our trees as it gets far to hot(called bushfires) and tend to have too many houses burn down.
harpo
Sorry but the Brotherhood of Blackheads are pretty well accepted as the instigators of the first Christmas tree according to Wikipedia. The source checks out too. Martin Luther probably popularized it a great deal though.
It ain't happening at our place... no tree... no decorations.... no cards... no anything that represents an overly commercialised holiday that's too far removed from was it was intended to be. There's no kids here now, and it's purely for the kids, so there's no need.
We will, however, have a traditional Christmas roast and some Christmas pud to follow it up. Other than that, bleh... it's just another day.
