Yes, I feel better today that I was able to decorate our Christmas tree. It makes me panic thinking that next weekend is already Christmas.
I am glad I only have to buy gift vouchers for hubby and son. They could choose something for themselves by using the gift vouchers that I will buy this week.
My Christmas tree decorations are mostly 30 years old plus. The small wooden trains I first bought during my second Christmas in Germany and my baby son at that time hung those trains on the Christmas tree.
Time is running so fast. Are you already done with your Christmas decorations and shopping?
The photo is our newly put up Christmas tree with our vintage decorations.

it's pretty. it's understandable that you kept all those decorations. i notice your wall is full of paintings and smiled at the stuffed toy on the back of the sofa.

@hereandthere yes, it is. Somebody told me to throw it but I couldn't. Many memories attached to that teddy bear.

@hereandthere thank you. Yes, our walls are full of paintings painted by my hubby. The small brown teddy bear is the toy of my baby boy, who is now 35 years old.

I love your tree. Thank you for sharing it with us! I am just about done with my Christmas shopping and decorating, although I still need to mail some cards out.

Your tree is very pretty. I'm not doing as much this year, I just don't have the energy.

How beautiful Thelme, I think it's very pretty! It's different shades of pink, very unique:)

Thank you @kobesbuddy. I don't like pink. I think the pinkish color appeared due to the flash of the electric lights. Our wall paper is peach.

You did a really great job...and it matches the room it's in perfectly. 
This is the only tree I can have this year (my cats would destroy a regular Christmas tree, climb it, knock it over, chew it, you name it.) 
But I like it. It's small, but really sparkles...and casts odd shadows on my wall. 
To the right is a ghost, and to the left is what looks like a spooky witch. 
Merry Christmas (and Happy Halloween?)

It's beautiful even if it's old. Next weekend is Christmas already. Glad your tree is up.

our tree is also considered a vintage now. we had that about 2 decades ago and it is becoming bald, so my sister placed more 'hair' into it.
