Heart Can we have a Christmas Tree Photo Thread?

I know alot of parents post pics of their lovely children and families online, but since being stalked during my search by a mentally ill adoptee a few years ago, DH and I decided that posting pics of ourselves or the kids is not online a good option for our family.

I love looking at different Christmas trees and thought I would start a thread posting mine first.
Mine is a vintage tree from 1962 and all the ornaments are vintage too.
We had a tree like this when I was a kid and we hated it. Sweet aMomma loved it, we only used it one year and dad threw it out.

Last year I found one on Ebay and got it. aDad was practically in tears when he saw it because he was reminded of how much aMomma loved that tree

OK so the tree pic is giving me problems

Let me try this again. Hopefully it will work . YAY!! It worked. Anyhow, the tree looks sort of bland in pictures but when the lights turn it refects different colors as the tree itself rotates

Ok.

Here is how it started:

I decided that, since Christmas will be very very small this year, I'd skip the tree.

Family, friends and Crick had a fit.

So I said, "Fine, if I get one, it's going to be small!"

They all agreed...

This is what we got.

Now family friends and Crick are having a fit for a different reason...

Brandy that is so adorable. I wish I could put a small tree in every room but Dh would be the one to pitch a fit.
I don't really think the pink would work here though with 3 rough and tumble boys.

Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming.

I LOVE THE TREES!!!!!!!

They are awesome!

My DH is more of a traditionalist when it comes to trees (but we won't mention the fact that our current tree is only 3 feet tall because our bigger one burnt out and ended up on the curb - lol)

But I KNOW I can get the kiddies on board with these tinsel trees for next year!

Ok ladies - I am scouring the web looking for these trees...where did you pick them up?

I'm finding various versions of each...I found one website that has the little 2 foot trees, but they are sold in sets of 2 and run about $80 per set on sale...

PLEASE tell me you all are thriftier than this!

It comes in purple, blue, pink and silver

And it IS cute! I am so glad someone else agrees (aside from the folks in my house!)
