Everything Christmas! (trees, traditions..etc...)

Nice countdown! :D 17days 11hours 24mins 43 seconds. I'm so excited!

As a table tree - that would be great, but I prefer the big bushy trees myself. I love that Christmas tree smell.

[GoJays]

yeah, i'm not seeing it.. that to me is just a sculpture.. to each his own i guess

[hollyquaiscer]

It's not my taste, I guess I am just tradional, I like a well shaped, big triee thats bushy (ok gojays, mind out of the gutter) It's been another one of our family traditions, Dec 14 tree goes up. Dec 15th tree gets decorated, and I'm sort of anal over the tree, it has to shout Christmas and fun. Every child, grandchild (and even the dogs) have to participate. The dogs bat around the old and unbreakable ornaments, and the rest of us decorate the tree.

That tree is definetly different, sort of like the upside down christmas tree that was hot for a few years



but just not for me. I definately like the idea of the metal tree outside as an ornatment, it would be very pretty, but not inside, at least not for me.

I was just watching the news and I saw this topic about people not being aloud to decorate their school buses for Christmas, Also not on the news it is wrong to wish someone a Merry Christmas, Now I am not against other people's religions but don't you have a right to celebrate what you want as long as you are not harming anyone?

DEFINITELY!!! I will respect everyone else's ability to choose what they celebrate ... as long as I (as a Canadian) am able to continue to celebrate Christmas, traditions and all.

I absolutely hate the awkwardly worded sentiments of "Happy Holidays, or Christmas if that's what you celebrate" ... statements like this make me cringe!!!

I so agree, I hate sitting there going on in my head wait should I say this or should I say that, well said "as long as I as a Canadian am able to continue to celebrate Christmas, traditions and all, I could not have said it better myself

Merry Christmas to all of you!
Any present your guys want to receive?

That thing about the buses is SO silly - as is all the other stuff.

I miss all the traditions from my country, most of all the parol.

Electric parol

Wow, these are so beautiful! Can you explain some of the traditions?

We actually put this up the same day the Santa parade was on in November, kept forgetting to take a picture.
