    Ill start this off.. I know its a little early for Christmas trees just yet and "you're supposed to wait until after thanksgiving" blah blah blah..

    I jumped the gun and got a christmas tree.

    8.5 foot Noble Fir tree.. with star its right at 9 feet(I have 9ft ceilings in my condo) so this is as big as I could go..

    Bama - cool tree

    In the UK one tradition is to put the tree up 12 days before Christmas and take down 12 days after
    so my tree doesn't go up until 12th December and comes down on 6th Jan

    I'll put my tree up the first week of December, hopefully, so I'll have pictures then. The inside of my house is being painted that week, so whenever they finish I'll do the tree!!

    Let's see some pictures of houses decorated in Christmas lights too!

    ours won't be up until the weekend before christmas, because the tree dies to quickly we usually get a 4 foot tree

    And the Gauntlet has been thrown!!!

    First, very nice tree Bama. I also like your trophy there on the wall. I asked ReefSparky if he could get a moose for me but he couldn't help. Any chance that you could hook me up?


    OK here goes. It's still early so we only have about half of our trees up. The three most impressive ones are yet to come but were not doing too bad for the week before Thanksgiving.

    Anyway here are our early trees...

    6' tree in work out room

    Counting the ones 6' or taller, we'll have 14 trees in the house by the time we're done.
