O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree
How overloaded
Are thy branches?
I make no apology for my complete and utter lack of taste when it comes to decorating my tree. Every ornament is a happy memory.
Tory Boy added to them by buying four new ornaments, one to represent each of us. Who knew that the way to a mother’s heart was through a wooden soldier?
[...] O Christmas Tree (thelaughinghousewife.wordpress.com) [...]
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

Well it’s better than not even having a Christmas tree yet! That’s tomorrow’s job. I think yours is inspiring!
Oh my, all I can imagine is how long it must take to UNdecorate that bugger!
I love your tree!
I totally love your tree!! It has heart and soul. Out tree looks bare and minimalist in comparison!!
Your soldiers are nutcrackers, they are MASSIVE in this part of Germany. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutcracker.
The funny thing is, my daughter bought one for our tree this year too!!! (The 13yo).
I didn’t realise they were nutcrackers! Thanks for that info.
Is there a tree under all of that? Really? Very spruced up.
very nice, Tilly!
Love the Nutcrackers! So festive.
I love getting ornaments for Christmas, the four nutcrackers are wonderful. I find that they are an essential part of Christmas maybe it’s because I used to watch the Nutcracker ballet on t.v every year around Christmas with Mikhail Baryshnokov as the Nutcracker Prince. He was wonderful as a Nutcracker.
I’ve never seen it. Must remedy that.
I LOVE your tree!!! That’s so overloaded it’s ridiculously Christmassy!! I want a tree like that!!
It’s easy – save every ornament you ever get. Wrap them away carefully each year. Sigh and get misty-eyed each time you unwrap one.
I love how everyone’s tree is so individual to them. Yours looks at home and well loved.
You hit the nail on the head!
A wonderful tree. What is taste anyway. At least you have flair. And I have a problem getting to your website. What’s going on in England, energy shortages??
It’s been a problem, I’ll admit. Hopefully it’s better now.
Your tree is overloaded with memories, and that can only be a good thing – and now Tory boy’s contribution is making more! What a sweet boy thinking of the whole family like that.
He is. I love him, if I’m honest
Did you know you’re supposed to put the Christmas presents under the tree, not on it?
I love your nutcrackers. We finally bought our first one this year and I hope to add to the collection every year.
We have a nice nutcracker. I must post a picture of it.
Wow! Is there really a tree under all those lovely decorations? Happy Christmas!
I was expecting branches adorned in Maltesers
(which I happened to notice on my last grocery run, are readily available at my local grocery store.)
I think it looks beautiful — mine is looking somewhat “stingy” in the ornament department this year — that’s what comes from having a 2 year old who likes to take them off every day. I love the trimmin — it’s the re-trimming, and eventual de-trimmin that gets me.
That tree looks a lot less bare than when you last posted a picture of it!
I’m glad you all like my tree and I’m glad you all enjoyed poking fun at me
It looks perfectly fine to me… quite lovely.
