I love seeing others trees from their front windows as I drive around during the holidays. SO I set my tree up near my large living room window for this purpose. Here is a shot of mine from outside when it is drak. I love the moisture on the interior windows in this shot as well. Where do you place your tree each year and why is that the spot you use each year?

Geez I forgot about the tree! The window sounds good and it looks beautiful when you can see it from the outside. I think I will tell my husband to move furniture around so we can place the tree in front of the window too. Normally we put it in the corner because last year our baby daughter would pull the ornaments off the tree. This year she is the last one so hopefully she understands to keep her hands off the tree.

Yeah please do.
People drive around just inm hopes of seeing some beautiful ytrees in peoples windows. I had to move my furniture for the next month or so.

The house I live in don't have living room windows. When you are outside and look at my house from the street you will see two bedroom windows, my front door and the garage door. I put my tree up on a little table that I have against the wall between the living and dining room. This house has a fireplace in the corner in the living room and that to me sure does waste space, I would rather have the wall space instead of the fireplace.

Buy a small set of lights for the windows then at least.
They even have battery operated lights for that and wreaths etc.
man I miss my fireplace from childhood especially around the holidays.

One of my son's friends is a very artistic person and one year he was going around to stores and they would hire him to paint Christmas things on their windows. Before he went out to get the work he did our front windows and the glass on the storm door with such cute Christmas pictures. He lives out of state now. That is a great idea about the battery operated lights for the windows. We put lights around the windows one year and in the tree out front but had to run an extension cord around because there is no plug in the front.

Hey, it has been twenty one minutes and your discussion is still here, shh, I will not tell. The last two years we have just had miniature Norfolk pines, and put them in the t. v. room This year we will go cut a tree and put it in the front room. It still will not be very visible from the front because of the lattice on the porch, but we will enjoy it, and it is in a spot that will be good when the grand baby is here. Going to take the local grandkids to cut the tree this year. They have never gotten to do that. I hope it snows.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 7 out of 518 in holidays  4 years ago

lol
Well it turned out to be a one day attack only. So far anyhow.
I loved having a Blue Spruce each year.
Those are the most exspensive trees now days for the Holiday.
Up at the farm there are a bunch int the fields that are big enough to cut and use.
Next year I think I'll get omne from the farm for free.
Well it's a 300 mile round trip but free as far as tree cost goes. HAHAHA!

Your tree is beautiful!..I'm having a problem this year I have 2 grandsons from 2 of my children who have boys that are both 1 yrs old..they love to climb and have already shown that they might try to climb the trees if we don't watch them like a hawk...I know this sounds silly but since you have grandsons..what did you do?..I love putting mine up near the windows too..


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 7 out of 518 in holidays  4 years ago

They areeasy to keep from the tree.
Takes tiome is all.
We never had that problem when ours were small.

Never had a problem so don't know the solution really.

Rosekitty, one year we put the couch across and blocked off the tree, another time we put the tree up in the play pen and put presents in there too. It kept the kids out of it that way. LOLL

Hey Grandpa Bob! Another excellent shot! That's a great window
view for the tree! You can see if from the outside with the
outside lights too. You house is going to look so Christmasy
with some nice new snowfall and the tree and the outside lights!
You get the greatest photos of everything! I wish you could
show me how to do it! When I get my camera I might have to
fly out there so you can teach me!

There's a lot of LARGE houses near us. They have those 12 foot vaulkted ceilings. A few have the largest trees that look awesome from the street view. I love walking/driving around checking things like this out. Thanks, I am no expert, just been doing the digital for awhile and learned that was is all.

No, No, you cannot cut down my blue spruce. I have one that I got as a seedling. I would need a bucket truck to decorate it now. I am also a night window peeper. You see lots of pretty things that way.

My dad planted hundreds of various pines many years ago on the farm.
A lot are just about large enought to be used for Christmas.
I almost went there this year, but the wife said wait.
You're having troubles with double and triple posts I see GG.

I love it when people put their trees near the window. It's really nice to go on a walk in the evenings and see all the lights and the trees through the windows. It would look extra pretty if it snowed ... but we haven't a hope of that here!


myLot reputation of 99/100. PurpleTeddyBear (4613)   ranked 8 out of 518 in holidays  4 years ago

I agree! My hubby, daughter, and I go for a drive Christmas Eve every year after dark and we look at all the lights, trees through the window, and with us being in Canada theirs a 99.9% chance their will be snow hehehe!

The only place that I have to put it is in a corner of the living room, but it can be seen on the outside from two different windows.. I think that it shows up really well.. I also have a smaller one that I decorate and put on the porch, then we decorate the porch and the railings and the gate, it looks when when we get it finished..

I love the picture of your tree. You did a good job with the picture. I love to drive around and see all the Christmas decorations. Some really out do others.

We put our Christmas tree up in the living room now. I bought the 4 foot one to put in front of a window here in my Den. But three years ago, we bought some new furniture and an entertainment center which is too close to the window by the fireplace where I had put the tree for years before. So we had to move our tree back to the living room in front of the picture window. That's why I want to buy a bigger one like we had before I bought this shorter one. It's fat, but I would love to have a much taller one for the effect in front of the window. Of course, that means buying more decorations and more lights. I put hundreds on this one now!


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12986)   ranked 7 out of 518 in holidays  4 years ago

Thank you very much.
When I was a small child we had a 3 season porch.
Our tree used to be out on that and looked awesome actually.

We always put ours in the window facing the one neighbors home, maybe to block their view into our home or the fact that putting it near the window in front would mean we have to move the computer and the stupid air conditioner my husband has grown to love, and yet doesn't use..(Long story on that one)

Oh you can't move the computer no matter the reasonj.
