(I have the programmable ones that fade on and off)


Hey Mayor,
Those lights sound pretty exciting!  Are they multicolored?  And, can you program them do different things (like become chase-lights, or blink)?

I don't have a tree of my own in my apartment.  But, I already helped my parents decorate their (artificial) tree in Chicago.  We traditionally do it the weekend following Thanksgiving (since I'm usually home then).  My parents have very pretty, simple white lights that they use on the tree.  And it always looks really pretty in their house.  I really like them... but some day when I decide to get a tree of my own, just to be different, I think I'm going to use those retro- large sized colored lights.  I've always thought those were fun... and very nostalgic looking.

 :)

We put up the tree yesterday. For the first time, we have an artificial tree  :-\. I used to say I would never put up an artificial tree, but alas...

This pic goes with a thank you to Jeff Wrangler! Yes. You may have no idea why, but last year you told us about your mother being allergic against real Christmas trees. For many years now, I had problems with asthma when putting up the tree and for days when it was in our living room. I had the inkling I could be allergic against the tree, but thought I'm crazy. Nobody is allergic against trees.
After reading about your mother last year, I decided to try an artificial tree this year - and everything is fine!  :D I'm so happy to spend Christmas without having problems to breathe. The down side is, my kids are not happy with the artificial tree. My oldest even threw a tantrum like a three year old  >:(.

The elk antler we found near a trail has now become our holiday dining table centerpiece with the addition of some pink tinsel and some candles...

Nice idea, FRiend.  How did you get the candles to stay put?

A drop of melted wax, friend Paul. But I also removed the tablecloth for safety's sake.

Lee, it's gorgeous.  Right out of the Sundance catalog.  In fact, you could send that photo to Robert Redford, make copies out of resin, and sell them for $700!
