Exactly, same background that i use. Helps me to distinguish between several forums by having RLF in black.

Oooo Pretty trees!

I'm going to post mine once we get it set up. Stupid finals and holiday parties keep me from doing so. =(

I can't post the pic from work, the only place I have internet, but I did tie twlve plastic christmas bulbs to an aloe plant.

I hate fake trees, and can't find a cheap real one out here, so I substituted. My roommates think I'm quaked, but I think it's cute.

This is what happens when college students get bored. I shall post a picture of the really tree at my parents house, but this lovely tree graced our apartment’s front door for several weeks.

Here's the tree that sits atop the entertainment center in my amazing technicolor apartment.

I love all the trees! This year my husband got to chose our tree (and how to decorate it)... it's not what I would have picked.

During the day:

In the evening, no flash:

We can't find our tree skirt, so we're going to get one this weekend.

The problem with such a thing is that as soon as you lift it, you glimpse a stump...

This sucks, my tree wont be up till Christmas eve, its tradition. Er... well as much tradition as my husband saying "We shouldnt put up the tree till christmas eve." Jackass. But as soon as its up I will put it up here.

We have six trees. Here's some small-ish photos with links to Flickr for bigger versions.

Main Tree: I also included some of the surrounding decor. This tree is the one that gets the main focus when it comes to decoration, and houses all of our main ornaments.

Second Tree: This tree first showed up in this role last year. We'd bought a new tree to become our main one, and my wife decided she wanted to use the old one as well. It's also in the living room, just feet from the main tree.

Entry tree: This tree, as well as the next two, were purchased last year in post-Christmas sales, to be used as decor in smaller areas. This one greets people entering our home. It's decorated very simply, and was already pre-lit, so my wife just bought a few neat little branch things from Hobby Lobby and it was transformed.

Office Tree: This one is much like the entry tree, but also has a little ribbon.

Bedroom Tree: Not even our bedroom escapes the decoration. It's neat to have just the tree on before we go to sleep (turning it off before we actually fall asleep, of course).

Restroom Tree: This tree used to be our bedroom tree, but with the introduction of the three slim trees, it's been relegated to the restroom.

We actually have two rooms that don't have Christmas trees, and I fear that my wife wants to buy some post-Christmas stick trees much like the ones we bought last year, so that no room is left without holiday spirit.

At least she decorates all of them (except for the main tree) all herself. It doesn't add more work for me, so I'm probably going to be okay with more trees.

Here are my photos, but they don't even show a quarter of how gorgeous it is.

A little back story about my tree though. This is a fake tree that my parents bought before I was born. When I moved out of the house, they decided to get a new tree and gave me this one. Along with it, my mother gave me a ton of our old decorations. Some of them are very sentimental, as I will share with you. So, here is a tree with about 200 ornaments and is over 25 years old.

The first time Greg and I went to Disneyland together was right before our first Christmas together. We bought a set of 4 of these ornaments.

And this very special ornament.

When my mother was giving birth to me, (December 26th-27th, almost a month later than I was supposed to arrive) she was told to bring something to focus on while she was pushing and having contractions. My mom said that she brought this little ornament along because she knew she was going to have a little blonde angel.

This angel is older than me too. I was so surprised when my mother said I could take her, because this topper always seemed so much more special than a star. It was pretty much the only thing I truly got excited about when decorating the tree.

Happy Holidays!
