THANKSGIVING IS OVER. Show me yer Christmas trees / holiday decorations! (NSFG)

NOT SAFE FOR GRINCHES

@Javen says we can't put our Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving, so we won't get to do it until Sunday. So in the meantime, SHOW ME YER TREES, FOLKS. I know some of you have already put yours up.

Also if you don't celebrate Christmas, show me any holiday/winter decorating that you may do! I don't care, I'm not the boss of this thread, talk about whatever you want.

Here is our tree from a few years ago (technically it was Mom's tree - as you can tell by the theming of the ornaments)

-

I'll update once we get our own tree (green, so excited!) up and decorated!

Let me see how you celebrate the season!

Lost Salient

We will definitely be decorating but we don't even have all of our furniture yet!

TankHammer

Thanksgiving isn't over! It's inside all of us, literally!

Sheri

Quiet, GRINCH

I'm being pre-emptive!

No Christmas until December! I don't have a tree yet and I don't know if I will get one. I'm hardly home enough to appreciate it!

(My birthday is November 30th and I demand my family celebrates only me until December starts)

Uriel

Instead of a nativity scene I will build a time machine and take people on trips to see Jesus being born.

Sheri

Hey hey, happy birthday bits!

Also sometimes our Christmas tree looks like this:

Thanks! I'll be 27 and I was mistaken for a teenager on Monday!

Blake T

I too am a December first purist.

Otherwise it just becomes a slippery slope.

I was told I looked 27 the other week.

From a 27 year old, who I imagine, from association, is an expert in 27 year olds.

DaMoonRulz

When I was 20 I was told I looked 40.... :?

Sheri

I was 24 at a wine tasting and was told that I looked 11

I mean, the lady was drunk so I'm sure she exaggerated but still

bowtiedseal

Five minutes ago someone just mentioned the 90s and looked at me and said "I'm not sure you remember those"

Amy left to visit my parents for Thanksgiving a week early before I drove down on Tuesday and I got the tree up to surprise her when we get home this weekend, so ssshhhh, don't tell her.

ASimPerson

I'm only at my condo for like two weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas so I don't decorate.

nuka

I don't have the space for it really, not anymore.

Gonna stick garland and lights on my desk and a little mini poinsettia though.

Auntie Shibby

My tree is slimand amazing.

Virgil_Leads_You

I won the family poker game. I generally come in third or lose, so I had a nice thanksgiving. I'm not sure if we will do a tree this year for Christmas.

We have this small porcelain nativity scene that has been present as far back as I've been alive, and that's probably the main Christmas decoration for me.
We also have a bunch of 1 foot tall, broken windup musical displays, that I love and always set out. Several elves in Santa's workshop with heads and limbs chipped off, but I will probably never replace that ol' thing.

The Geek

I have a Charlie Brown christmas tree for my desk at work.

smof

I am moving back in with my parents for a few weeks in mid-December. I text my mum the other day and got her to agree on waiting till I get home before they put their tree up. It's been years since I helped decorate a christmas tree so I'm looking forward to it.

We have some pretty random decorations, like stuff we got from my dad's side of the family which is Austrian. Lots of toadstools. Apparently they're a traditional Christmas thing there?

The Geek

Kinda wanna get that Weeping Angel tree topper from Think Geek.

Raijin Quickfoot

We decorated today. We had some Christmas glass clings. They were lights and candles.

Yes, these are supposed to be candles...

Sheri

Those look like dongs man

DaMoonRulz

I think they look like Crayons

Dex Dynamo

Gotta decide on a cubicle theme for my desk at work, so I can start decorating

I'm leaning towards Christmas in the Comics, and wallpapering my cube in holiday-themed comic book covers, but I partially did that last year (but management came down on full decorations last year, and has since eased up, so I wasn't able to do it as thoroughly as I wanted)

Ode to the Doctor Who Christmas Special is also a frontrunner, as I've never done it before--but I don't know where to start with that one though

I have to top my Star Wars Holiday Special theme from a few years ago now that I have the chance

Raijin Quickfoot

Christmas is the time for dongs.

Sheri

I went to michaels to buy stuff to make some Christmas decorations and whatnot and there were so many people and the lines were so long and I just put down my basket and left

Lost Salient

Yeah, I thought about picking up Christmas decorations this weekend and then laughed hysterically at myself. No sir.

Sheri

It's happening!

Sheri

It happened!



@Javen is getting us "something" for our tree topper

I am suspicious

Xaquin

some kind of gravity adjuster maybe?

Is... is the photo upside down?

Xaquin

sideways =P

it is a really nice looking tree though

Sheri

Huh. Looks right on mobile.

JebusUD

Bam! There it is. Decorated the mantle too, maybe i'll post that later.

JebusUD

Alright, found a good one of that.

Gizzy

This is from a previous year, but I'm just amused that it looks like all of the presents are for the cat.

Dex Dynamo

Not sure where else to post this, but!

A coworker is organizing an ugly Christmas sweater photo at work, and I didn't want to spend the 20-30 dollars to buy one in the stores (even the thrift stores are raising prices due to demand). So I made my own!

Initially I went with this one:



But realized that (even in spite of the excellent Die Hard reference) wearing a shirt that loudly declares you to be holding a gun at work is probably not a great idea.

Which is when I took another old busted sweatshirt and made this one:



And now I'm thinking of making an "I'M NOT DAREDEVIL" Christmas sweater to go with these two.

Sheri

Is it just me

Or does the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" scream "date rape" when you actually listen to the words?
