Deck The Halls!

[trekkiedane]

Living alone and not having people over for the main event of the season (December 24th in the evening) I usually don't bother with a tree... But I do have some decorations that I put up and one of them is in the general shape of a tree:

I would never buy a plastic xmas tree, but when I saw this white version in IKEA a couple of years ago I caved. Maybe because it doesn't pretend to be a real tree... I mean: there's no albino chlorophyll, is there?

^ A white tree goes well w/ a tuxedo kitty, too.

I saw a black tree a couple years ago. That was really cool! If it had been the right size, I would've bought it.

 

[trekkiedane]

^ That I would have bought too


I happened to have a pack of IKEAs "Dioder" lying around and have been playing a bit about with them...

Not perfect, but definitely in the kitschy spirit of the season -I think.

^Yeah, well, um, that's a bit too un-traditional for me. But I love your Christmas avatar!

 

[trekkiedane]

^Thanks, do vote for it in the upcoming vote-thread in misc. then

(And about the lit tree: don't think I'll have it on much as it interferes with the Ambilight™ on my TV (or maybe I shluld just adjust it to one (non changing) colour))

^Am loving the white tree. And no, I'm sure there's no such thing as albino chlorophyll. It would be slightly frightening if there were . *lol*

Got my Santa nutcracker out. I just adore him. My best pal gave him to me a few years ago.

My halls are all decked. A wreath on the door, a collection of six creches (nativity sets) scattered around the house, and a tree. Notice the Enterprise D in the center.

Very nice! I like the brightly colored birdies.

 

[Tora Ziyal]

Thank you, auntie. One of those brightly colored birdies (the one above the Enterprise) is actually a rabbit with wings.

This is my sister's tree. She always gets a live one.

Dad brought in the tree the other night, and decorated it and lit it and then mum disassembled the whole thing the next day - but I did have time to take this shot:
