Off Topic; Christmas Trees

gaboonx Dec 11, 2008 11:35 AM

The wife and I just setup the Christmas Tree this week, all 150plus ornaments and 10 or so strans of lights.

It would be neat to see others as well, please feel free to share!

I was tired when I took these and didn't play around with the ISO so they are not the best of photos.

Star nothing! All trees should have an Eeyore on top!

I have been married for 37 years. Early on in our marriage I actually convinced my wife that I hate Christmas so she does ALL the decorating. Life is good!!

Grinch.

I can relate. Xmas is best when its over. How dare they start putting out xmas crap in September! I do my best to refuse to participate at all. My personal hell came last weekend when I was stuck in a show hall for 12 hours with xmas muzak playing. I dont wonder at all why people start shooting. Preferably at those jerks with the loud bells that stand outside of stores and ring at you. Grr. Xmas sucks.

This year I noticed two different stores with Christmas stuff out before Halloween and it was half off on all of it!! Go figure!!!

Here in NC there was xmas crap out with some of the back to school stuff. Seriously. It was well before Halloween. I started to scream in Lowe's when they cleared a few aisles to put that heinous stuff out in October. Xmas gives me a rash.

I actually like Christmas, but not what it's become, totally comercialized. And most definitely not until AFTER Thanksgiving!!!

Christmas is too creepy for me. Its slimy, its creepy the way it slithers into conversations and it bites. I dont know how anyone can stand having it in their house!

And it's very pervasive, probably gets into almost every house in the country, including those where it's not welcome!!!!

You and me both sir! I used to work at a retail place that started playing it the day after Thanksgiving and didn't stop until it opened up the day after Christmas! 8 hours/day of Christmas music drove me up the wall, especially when there'd be those runs where the playlist would have the same song 5 times in one day, just done by a different artist! I'm only now beginning to recover from my hatred, and it's been 2 years since the last Christmas season I went through there!
