What have you done outside of the usual Christmas tree decorations.

I don't have the pictures accessable to me, they are on a hard drive from a different computer that I no longer have (kept the drive)

One year I used all McDonald's Happy meal toys, and another year I used all of Beanie Babies, and the miniature beanie babies--it was great--my kids loved it.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do this year with my cat as I'm sure she will be batting anything off that she can.

so what do you do with a tree, and how do you decorate it.

Mooch

My dad has a Pittsburgh steeler tree. They are his favorite football team. He has all Steeler ornaments and even a steeler tree skirt underneath. He even has a steeler village of little shops and stuff that all have steelers on them. I think they even have steeler lights that are shaped like helmets.

A few years ago, my aunt decided that she was sick of dealing with the mess of real Christmas trees, and didn't care to spend a whole bunch of money on an artificial Christmas tree. She finally decided to make her own Christmas tree, keeping in mind that a Christmas tree is green, decorated with red and white and gold, and it has a lite on top...

There are so many Christmas tips I thought i would tease a little with how to decorate a Christmas tree
Keep Your Tree Fresh and Green
Cut the stump of the tree with a fresh cut and set it in water immediately. A fresh-cut tree will absorb several quarts of water right from the start. So it's important to check and refill the water level several times a day for the first week. You can cut down on frequency later. Be sure to place you Christmas tree in a stand that has a large water reservoir and keep it filled.
There is much more on this site i used as reference Check it out :http://interiordec.about....

Hello oneandonemakesix

About five years ago I was installing new wood floors in my house right before Christmas. I had moved out all the furniture in the house to make this task easier on me.

As Christmas approached, my children let it be known that they wanted a Christmas Tree, but I sure didn't want to put up one as it would be a major pain and would delay the installation and finishing of the floors.

In desperation, I came up with a plan. I painted a tree on the wall, complete with the trunk and stand. I then attached lights to the wall on the painted tree, and the boys painted decorations, as well as placed decorations on the wall. They also attached some pine branches, and we had the smell of a real tree in the house.

I was able to install the floors with not problems, and we kept the tree on the wall for a while until we removed all the decorations and I painted over it. I do have a photo of it somewhere, but I can't locate it at the moment.

Of all the trees we've ever had, this was my favorite, and I'm thinking about doing it again. Everyone enjoyed it, and I also didn't have to worry about the dogs peeing on it, or the cats climbing it.

I have a lot of kitty related ornaments, that is ornaments shaped like cats, then I have so old Christmas decorations from when we used to go to Disney World, so different Disney characters...the most noticeable are my hand-crafted small Dreamcatcher ornaments I made, plus a DreamCatcher tree topper
Here's a picture of one of my dreamcatcher ornaments

No access to pictures, but the first year of my first marriage we were very poor. I got married at the end of September, and I had saved all of the bows from my gifts. We could afford only sparse decorations, but I put a wedding bow over each tiny light, and a ceramic figurine of a girl on the top, I liked it.

I do not have a photo...but during some very difficult years we wrapped all of our presents in newspaper and decorated the tree with paper chains and popcorn strings which we made together....now the kids tell me that was one of their best Christmas memories....it does not take alot of money to make wonderful memories....

I wanted to share this with ya'll because I think that this is one of the true meanings of traditional Christmas to me.

I can't say we did anything unusual, but one year we had a tree with just bows on it. It was beautiful. We had icicles and red bows on a green tree with a big bow at the top with the tails hanging down the tree. It was really pretty. The bows were red and plaid and they were so pretty.
