Christmas Ornaments (or the impending death thereof)...A Continuing Series
Thursday, November 29, 2007 at 3:15PM
My Christmas tree has issues.
I mean, it just can't find it's motivation. There is no theme; no one idea that it fully subscribes to. It's all over the place.
We put it up the other day (if you give me shit about the fake tree, I'll stab you with something dull).

We got it all decorated, too.
It's really lovely. And inviting. If you happen to be into music
or a foodie
yep, that's an Idaho spud on my tree. Yep, I'm a dork), or into abstract art 
or a fan of the animals native to Africa
or interested in the sites of North America
or feel the overwhelming need to buy your daughter-in-law ornaments ONLY in triangular shapes 
or just awesomely into Batman

I think it looks great. Did the kids enjoy decorating it?
OMG BATMAN
That's awesome.
and I see you are tweaking the site? Celebrating the end of November eh?
V-They LOVED it.
Hubs, clearly you are NOT my husband. He hates that I do it. Well, that settles that!
Retro, that one was just for you, sugar.
Dawn, I tweek this site more than I rearrange furniture. It's a compulsion. It's that or eating Ding Dongs. (Honestly, I'm, going to eat them regardless...)
Wicked tree, great-looking fam.
damn!
that's the best kind of tree- http://sweetlifewithmary.com/2007/11/27/let-the-holidays-begin/" REL="nofollow">just like mine with ornaments from wherever. Whenever I stroll through Macys or Sears or Home Depot where they have these trees that are decorated with a "theme", I keep telling myself, "Maybe next year"....
Real tree. Check.
Random ornaments. Check.
Things for two-year olds to smash. Check.
We can still be friends.
Love your tree. You knew their were foodie ornaments.
Ours is a mismatch too.
Thanks, Hucks.
Sorry, Hubs. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
M'sMom, NEVER go theme. Whack-job is way more fun.
Alison, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT? Or, DUH.
D, thanks. It's the best way to tree, I think. The pickle kicks serious ass.
Ours is totally a mish mash too! The best way.
We got rid of our artificial and were talking about getting a real one. Then we saw the prices of the real ones. The real ones that you THROW. AWAY.
We'll be buying a new artificial tree this week.
Great looking family you got, Mr Lady!!
Do you ever do the traditional German pickle ornament thing? (At least I think it's German. Or my mom could have made it up.) You hang it somewhere on the tree and whoever finds it first gets a special little present. I always thought that was fun.
And no, I'm not looking for a way out. I just thought I'd keep you informed. Hugs :)
What a pretty face, especially the big one on top.
