Calamity, I don't know if you can see in the picture but I have some of my Playbills arranged around the base of the tree. I am the queen of google imaging searches. Its amazing what you can do with a printed picture, paper clay and glue. When I was in Manhattan recently I was going to look for keychains and other things I could use for my tree, but decided I could make due on my own. I took pictures of all the theatre marquees I could find and grabbed every show flyer at the Amtrak station. Hippy I hate light wrangling too. I bought all new ones this year because I was so disgusted with the process last year.

Reiki: No, I didn't notice the Playbills around your tree base! Guess I was too busy looking at the backdrop, LOL. But anyway, it's a great idea. Oh and I agree about making your own decorations. I like to make photo collages - not like with scrapbooks but kind of like storyboards. I haven't put up my artificial tree in the bedroom yet. I did look for the live (potted) tabletop tree for my living room but haven't seen any this year. Sigh. But it was nice walking through the tree farm, snow crunching beneath my boots, and the fresh scent of pines & firs in the frosty air.

Our Christmas trees have evolved over the years. The year ds was 1 I got rid of any breakable ornaments and bought touchable unbreakable decorations so that ds could really enjoy the tree without a lot of "no no, don't touch". As he got older we bought several age appropriate ornaments each year. We gravitated toward a Santa theme - for a few years every ornament was some version of Santa, antique, international, etc. A few years ago I became fascinated with snowmen, so now we are about half and half with some other sentimental favorites from many years ago thrown in.  Same tree, I just have resizing issues. Thanks to all the other posters who have shared their holiday decor and stories.

I posted a picture of my tree in my folder. I didn't like the way the picture turned out. I have a lot of crystal ornaments and they didn't show ...

I know what you mean LadyT, that's why I took close up shots to show off my Wizard of Oz, but even they didnt turn out!! Guess we just have to come see in person!! Lov, AWESOME!! No way that's your son!! Hippy does the train break down? I've given up on trains and villages under the tree due to kids, and break downs...

Thanks!! Texannie, it's actually a black velvet table runner with off-white and gold brocade silk inlaid -- I paid a fortune for it but love it and figure I'll keep it for the rest of my life for special occasions. Off to the party now...
