Is your Christmas tree up?

Post by lucky1 » Sat Dec 10, 2011 11:43 am

Maybe it's our lack of snow...
But I'm having trouble getting motivated to decorate for Christmas.

Need some inspiration.
Please post pics of your Christmas decorations. :reindeer:

Its hard to belive it almost Christmas, bone dry here... I might throw the tree up on Christmas Eve.

Still working out in the yard, I can't get into it this year :roll: and it is my favorite holiday. :|

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

feel the same, Aaron, must be the lack of snow.

Your yard is sure looking beautiful with those new paths.
Good work.

Christmas tree

Post by TerdalFarm » Sun Dec 11, 2011 8:37 am

Sorry to be a Grinch, but I figure Jesus was more likely to have been born under a [i]Phoenix[/i] than an [i]Abies[/i]. So, I always try to use a palm.
This year, we'll be where Christmas trees look like this Chameadorea ernesti-augusti;

Me too.

And you're not being a Grinch! :santa:
I'd trade my dusty artificial tree for that Chamaedorea in a heartbeat.

This guy's wife wanted him to get the Christmas lights up, so he did:

I admire his creativity...NOT!

To prevent something similar here, installing Christmas lights (and removal) is my job.

Plus cleaning gutters at the same time... :nike: :wink:
