Congratulations on your very FIRST Christmas together noced
Your Christmas Tree and Decorations look lovely.

I've never owned a Christmas Tree,
we had them when we were kids though.

I love holiday decorations but with 2 cats and 4 dogs a tree is out of the question.:D

We have a tall ceiling and a relatively short tree (7 1/2 feet), so we put it up on a box. There are 1000 lights on this puppy! The unlit star at the top looks kinda sad in comparison.

Congrats on your first x-mas! Nice shots too!!

No tree for me this year- in between houses so everything is packed away.

Here is one from last year with a rotating base and long exposure.

Kerry - How do your cats deal with the temptation of feline-on-tree love? We have two six month old kittens and they're slowly learning that if they make enough ruckus shiny ornaments come their way. And one of them (the dumber one) has stopped drinking from her dish and moved on to the tree water.

The worst they do is munch on it for salad. Even though it's a fake tree, they like to try to chew on it. I can't always catch and stop them, unfortunately. The kitty on the right is nine years old, and she's seen the tree before. She's a bit of a grandma kitty and could care less about the ornaments. The one on the left, Sketch, is only three...and this is his first Christmas with the tree. We'll see if my ornaments survive this year.

Your Lucky.

Our Patches is pretty adventurous when it comes to the Christmas tree. We often hear ornaments bouncing in the night. We often tie them to the tree, it works most of the time.

Then there was this one time when she decided to see what makes the tree tick (you know all those twinkly lights and shiny ornaments). She was half way up the center, when we saw the tree shaking... by the time we uttered "What the..." , we jumped up and ran for the tree... just making it in time as the tree started to fall over (about 45 degrees). Luckily no ornaments were lost. We never saw the cat run so fast, the body couldn't keep up with the feet (Fred Flintstone style).

We ended up using a plywood base, about a foot wider than the tree stand. This stopped the tree from become cat-heavy... or I mean top-heavy.. After that adventure, she pretty much just gnaws at the fake greens now.

I believe the "3rd set" refers to mine...I actually held an 8-point star filter in front of my lens to make the lights starry and sparkly. (I held it because it wasn't the right size to actually screw in.) Putting the tree up on a box makes more room for presents under the tree! And it's nice because my son likes to play with his trains under it, too.

finally got my tree up, if you can make it out, almost all the ornaments are starbucks ones, pretty much because i work there.. lol

We're not having a tree this year. Or at least, we won't put one up until we get back from California. I'm afraid I'd come back to two cats looking all innocent sitting in a pile of broken ornaments.

However, here is my Christmas self portrait.

No tree yet, but...
The boss and I haven't put up a tree yet, but downtown is decorated. I hope this isn't too far off thread...



Merry Christmas everybody!
