CHRISTMAS pictures (trees, decorations, etc.)

Thanks! It's currently my desktop background.

Some ornaments of mine can be seen here, if you're in the Christmasy mood.

One of our traditions is for everyone to pick out 1 new ornament each year.

Cool idea! I think we might have to pick that up too, lol.

Here's mine. It's the first year my hubby and I have had a full-size tree. I didn't realize the topper was messed up till after I taken the photo so ignore that if you can.

Since we only put up the Christmas tree in the morning of Christmas Eve, I think I should present you the first photos of our Advent Wreath instead.

It had only one candle lit on First Advent Sunday (Nov. 30).

Then the second was added to the first and the light was a little brigher already on Second Advent Sunday, 7 December:

Yesterday, we could light the third candle...

.

After 21 December, I can post the fourth photo, and after that I should also be able to present to you our Christmas Tree 2008.

ETA loooong after 21 December (when the fourth candle was lighted):

Ah this thread is so warm & fuzzy! that's the spirit.

I don't have many decorations so I went for the abstract option

Missysue... I really love seeing things YOUR way. Great portrait and the lights are nice.

This is not mine but a local tree here in Columbia. It gets brighter each year.

Magic tree, man. I know the guy that does that and his son. They are a really good family. I think that it's great he does it and starts in October!

Our cat, Val, in all his glorious holiday cheer.

I knew this thread was around here somewhere. I posted these in the General Gallery, but they should go here:

Yesterday night, I went hunting for shop window decorations, assuming that most shop owners would certainly give their windows SOME sort of festive outlook, and here I am with 19 (!) photos now (and since it is the Themes and not a thread where we expect people to comment on the photos - much - I feel safe in posting all 19 now, as I took them for this Theme after all.)

4. + 5. (both in the same window)

6. + 7. (both in the same window again, of an estate agent ...)

16. Oh. Oops. No shop window. The tree on one of the squares (handheld, thus originally all underexposed, brightened in the RAW converter => noisy => big )

17.

18. They had most of their decoration OUTSIDE their shopping window... or above...

19. Here, too: little trees to the left and the right of the entrance

That's "all" ... awwww. You sad?
