Christmas Candy, I counted 11 trees, is that right? Where do you store them? I use to put up two and had trouble finding space to the trees AND all the ornamanets.

I think you win, VG use to put up 7 or 8 I think. Your trees are just gorgeous!

Wow! Great trees everyone and to have more than one!

I'll try to post mine later, that is if I can keep my cat out of it! This is the first year I've gotten a real tree and I found her sitting inside of it, pine needles and ornaments everywhere Big Grin

Cathy, I have 40 trees in various sizes, but only 7 of them are over 6' or more. : )

One is about 18" tall and holds all of my Holiday jewelry so when I get dressed that morning, I choose the jewelry that matches the outfit off of the tree and replace it that night when I am done wearing it. Its much easier than trying to find it in a jewelry box, LOL.

Most of the holiday decor is stored in the basement, but some of it just switches places. The corner cupboard has enclosed storage on the bottom so when the Christmas decor comes out, the regular decor hides in the bottom. The dining room hutch does the same, switch the regular china with the holiday china.

I also have at least one nativity set in every room and some of those are posted on that thread.
I just enjoy all of the holiday decor and I consider all of it my toys!! I really enjoy "playing" with my toys, LOL.

Thanks for the coompliments everyone.

Merry Christmas,
Candy

PS, I'm not as bad as the woman on the show My Crazy Christmas Obsession. HAHA

joyluck,
Love the polar bear under the tree! And I love he lights in it too. Pretty tree!

OH I like urns with evergreens in them, I think I will try this for next Christmas. interesting to lok at with irridescent colors and silver and of course my favoite, shells and nautical things!

How cute to display small trees, those are usually my favorite. I hope you got up there to put the small tree in a safe way!

Best of the Season to you too!

Bailey's Mom,
Sorry to hear you just lost your Border at Thanksgiving. 16 yrs is a long life he had with your family, what a lucky dog! I know it leaves a hole and also leaves lots of great memories!

Georgia Peach,
Oh waht a beautiful setting with lots of lights reflecting on the glass of the windows! Nice effect!

The dining room slim tree is nice to, soft lighting too.

Christmas Candy,
You didn't post the jewelry tree I don't think, what a cute idea. I want to display my collection of xmas pins rather than keeping them in a box. I will come up with something one day...

What a lot of work! I am sure you enjoy every minute of that tree when lit and motion going. You need to lower the lights and take a video camera and fix it on the tree and get the movment on video!

The snowman is so precious! I don't think I have seen one that large inside a home! must be a cute greeting. So, this IS the famous HGTV snow man!

The red in your living room tree is wonderful. The slim gold tree in the dining must be nice with the other gold items you have in there (gold manger and angel).

Golf bag tree? Good thing the clubs are at rest for the winter!

The tree in the MBR, I just got a thought about where and HOW you store all this after Christmas! And HOW do you remember ALL you have!!!

Cute family tree with names.
So, your guests have gaurdian angels watching over them! The small tree with stockings is clever. I like the sled too.

That teapot with tree is wonderful in the kitchen! Love the gingham! You painted the tea kettle design? You really are talented!

Sunroom has PURPLE! Beautiful colors. WOW I am glad you shared photos of your 'toys' with us!

GypsyDancer,
A PINK tree! I like the elongated bulbs. The slim tree fits just nicely and I like the blue silvery ornaments.
Good photo with the tree LIT at NIGHT! PRETTY!

Becky56, A Cat lover, guess I should have known by your Avatar! LOL

Cathy,
I KNOW, Christmas Candy wore me out just thinking of HOW she did all that work! And ALL the ornaments!

Belstone,
NICE... Love the tones in your decor and that tree is wonderful, love that you got it with the lights on.

The tree (short on the table) I LOVE that shape! And the beads with ornaments is wonderful. Perfect in front of the window!

patty louise!
So happy to see you here! Merry Christmas!

meldin!
How wonderful to have a bay window to put your beautiful tree in!
LOVE the red and tartan (your avatar too)!
I like the natural elements of the dining room tree and thanks for the close up so I can see the detail!

Lisa Ann,
Oh my an alcove just for your tree and decor! I am loving all the red I am seeing this year on the trees here.
In your Dd's tree, I like the blue colors with white.
Yummy fruit tree, when I had one like that the kids made it disappear in like 10 minutes!

And thanks for the [img]TV not on air[/img] trick! When I paste a url from Photobucket,

I don't even type in those codes like below just posted URL with no codes just pasted the link and this is the result:

TV not on air

You cannot do this from your computer files

Christmas Candy, your name does suit you.
