Hmmm, it was 15 years ago when my father was still alive. I dont know ifw are going to have one at home this year but i guess all the same. We just had lights on but not the christmas tree, with the christmas tree around would seem so lonely coz it always reminds me of father.

Thank you for sharing in advance and have a nice day!

I am thirty years old and I have never had a year where I have not had a tree or my parents have not had one...
I came close to not having one this year but then my husband surprised with one!
I can't imagine Christmas without a tree!!!
Fifteen years is such a long time! I am sure your Father would not want this for you and your family to not have a tree.....

Take Care and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Well said heavens. Although 'everyone' is different, to me the beauty of a tree, reflects the memories of all of those who are no longer with us. It causes me to remember happy childhood days, and my parents. It also gives 'us' joy to hang the special ornament my (late) husband made, and to pause for a moment in memory of him, as per my response here. happy

That is a pretty long time not to have a Christmas tree in your home... and i think you should have one... just to show that you have already accepted his passing... and that you know in your heart that he is happy where he is right now...

I don't have a big christmas tree in my apartment... because i have no place for it... i have a very small one which i will just put on top of the fridge... to replace the poinsettia i bought... because it is now dying...

I knew a lovely lady who saved a beautiful Christmas card with a picture of a tree. She framed it and put it up on her TV every year. She said that was all the Christmas tree she needed.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Yes, i have accepted his passing but its mother's call coz she is the one in charge at home.

Last year, my mom always puts up the Christmas tree. But now, since our very old Christmas tree is broken...we don't have one up yet. And I don't think that she's planning to put one up. Its weird, cause I can't really feel the spirit of Christmas if the tree is not up in our house.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Well, you can alwasy use alternative things in replacement of your olde chrustmas tree.

well, it was only this time of my life that i saw one christmas tree at home. we usually have at my lolas.it was event there last october. hehe.. but unfortunately, at my hometown, we usually do not have. uhmm, we have!! our guava tree! it was a live guava tree, all we did was to put christmas lights on it, and every christmas, we have a little reunion within us and then we gather in that area.. haha.. but here in iligan, it was more of a formal celebration. the gifts are really placed under the tree and we open it before midnight.. i wonder what my gift would be this year...


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Its also nice to have a live christmas ree, when I wa younger mother would use the pobreng kahoy as christmas tree also she just adds lights and some colorful decorations.

The last time I had a Christmas tree at home was when I still lived at home. I moved out into my own place in 2002, and the place wasn't big enough for a Christmas tree. Besides, with a cat around, it wouldn't be practical to have a tree in here. He'd just climb it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2275)   ranked 36 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Our cat likes to chew on the branches of the artificial tree, and to sleep underneath it. She too enjoys the tree each year. lol On Christmas Eve, we take her upstairs with us, and close the bedroom door, so she won't get at the gifts underneath it. Merry Christmas to you and yours.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

hello somonesmom, that a cute cat, i guess she likes the feel of a tree inside the home and to her its a superb place to sleep and laze around.

Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!

since the day my dad left my mom for a new woman my mom is no longer putting up any christmas decors at home. i dont know where are our christmas decors if she throw it or gave it away. but when i started living in with my wife... we live in for 3-4 years before we got married.... we always put up christmas decors. specially now that we have a child we even have a christmas train that the rail is around the christmas tree.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Im sorry about your dad, maybe sooner or lateryour mother will get over the pain, its will take time but your prayers will help her move on and find it worth celebratng christmas coz its the birth of our saviou Jesus Christ.


myLot reputation of 98/100. se7enthbird (2672)   ranked 1,443 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

i dont think that she will get over it. some people are born like that. as of now my mom is half bodied paralyze and i dont think we can see changes from her that she wants to get well. i just wish she gets well and accept that there is more to life than grieving . its been 19 or 20 years already since my dad left my mom but she is still in mourn.

Hello Zelmarq:)

I have always had a Christmas tree.

I am so sorry to hear of the sadness that you may be experiencing right now, missing your father. The holidays can be some of the saddest days of the year. I will be keeping you in my thoughts this holiday, friend.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Thank you so much my friend. Well, the greatest gift for all mankind came and its the best gift we can think of. I hate it when I come to these points in my life where I melancholize and im too emotional. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Thank you my friend and have a nice day.

The last two years we have had potted plants that are small pine trees. Not the same, and I manage to kill them eventually. This year we will take the grandkids to cut a real tree. I may put all the old artificial ones on the front porch for a Christmas forest.

Hello dear zelmarq c",)


I'm so sorry to hear about that, sad that a christmas tree reminds you about a past hurt.. A christmas tree should remind us of Christmas and it means happiness in our hearts. I cannot blame you though because it is never easy to forget the pain. I suggest that you make new memories with your family right now with a tree in your house, and let the spirit of Christmas be upon you. You have all the right to be happy and you have a family to share it with.

Advance Merry Christmas!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 224 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

oh sorry! about the question...lol i forgot, we had a tree last year and this year we just have christmas lights in the house and other christmas decors except for the tree. c",)


myLot reputation of 96/100. Zelmarq (4004)   ranked 392 out of 38,374 in life  1 year ago

Thank you for the reminder my friend. I have realized that theres no way but to think that these season a child was born, a child born to save mankind and thats the best gift we could think about or even imagine. sometimes christmas is just about the world and the commercialized notion of all the gifts and stuff, christmas is about our sinful nature and washed by the blood of God. I thank God for the family He gave me and theres enough reason to celebrate and create wonderful memeories
