Comments (82)This is not my tree nor my idea, but I just happened upon it and want to share it. I am definitely going to start buying those old toppers I see...I have a topper on my tree that I love so couldn't imagine what to do with more - I'm not crazy about the pastel, but more vibrant colors or silver or gold would suit me.... Here is a link that might be useful: american harvest blog...See More10 things that annoy us about the holidays
Comments (39)None of that list annoys me. I love the Christmas season. Like Rusty, the only thing that I dislike about this time of year are the miserable wretches that want to put a damper on everyone elses fun. If they are not into it, fine. Everyone is not the same. But really,keep your negative attitude to yourself. What type of person sees people being excited to celebrate something and feels the need to try to ruin it? I hate when people tell me its too early for ME to listen to the music,that MY decorations are too much, that I spend too much on gifts for people that I WANT TO give gifts too. I mean, not even a gift for them! A few people have asked me what I plan to get for SO this year. I always get lots of things. The total for his gifts is usually between 1 and 2 thousand dollars. Not much to me,given the circumstances. He is so good to me all year, so when I get my profit sharing check at work every December,I spend most of it on his Christmas. How in the name of Bob Crachit is someone gonna tell ME that I spend too much money on him? Or that I listen to the music too early? Or anything like that. No ones asking them to chip in for the gifts or to tune their own radios to the music. What's their problem? Anything to be negative. Anything to be contrary. Anything to counteract the joy and excitement of the season. That's pitiful. I remember the year that an older kid at school had told one of my nieces (5 years old at the time) that Santa wasn't real. She was devastated. That kid was a miserable creature, who thoroughly enjoyed seeing her enjoyment ruined. Luckily, her parents were able to convince her otherwise and the magic lasted for a few more years for her. So yeah. My list would be fuddy duddies. Oh, and white/clear Christmas lights. What's the point? Although,in fairness,they dont really ANNOY me. They are pretty..I guess it just seems like a missed opportunity..........See MoreChristmas Trees -- How many do you have?
Comments (63)We have a ridiculously large live one every year in our foyer. Ridiculous in that wrangling a live tree that large onto the car and into the stand and into the house is just a special kind of stupid. Sigh. But I can’t, no I WON’T give up doing it. It’s so pretty from both outside and inside that I suffer through the placement and removal days each year. I will say that the Bowling’s Last Stand that we took out a mortgage to buy (lol) a few years ago has almost completely eased my PTSD of a couple of horrific tree fallings in previous years and negated the need for all of the complex fishing wire engineering dh had to fashion before we encountered the wonder of BLS! Here’s this year’s bad boy: (And I have a little lighted table top tree in the study bc it is front facing & also looks good from the street. I am toying with the idea of doing one on the table in the dining room bc it is also a front facing room but, ugh. More stuff to get & store.) edit: you have to click on the pic to get the full effect...apparently tree too big to be contained by Houzz photo elves, lol.)...See More- 9 years ago
