Just Threw Out My Christmas Tree.

have to ask - those with two or 3 trees, how does that work? different rooms in the house?

Yep. One big one in the main room, and table-sized ones elsewhere (kids' rooms)

Yeah, we had one colourful one in the dining room, and one white, gold and silver type one in the living room. Both full size, and named.

^ok, but you put all the presents under one, right? so that would be the main one? and do you decorate the others?

I just never thought of the idea of multiple trees - I thought it was a one per household type of thing. interesting.

We do multiple trees - one big real one and a smaller fake one in the dining room - also one or two little tabletop thingies but they don't really count. The smaller fake one has a "beach" theme because my wife used to have a place at the beach (pre-Douglas) and she had some beach-y ornaments for that tree.

We don't put the presents under our tree though. There's no way they'd fit. Besides, the trees we usually have have too many low branches for you to really get anything under there. Instead, our whole living room looked like Hallmark threw up in it.

Our tree won't come down til next weekend. Gotta keep it up for all 12 days.

Why did you throw out your tree on the Ninth Day of Christmas? You should keep it through all twelve days ... then burn it on the Epiphany (6 Jan).

Different houses ... and a boat.

We decorated both with lights, ornaments, garland, topper, etc, and since we had both sides of the family over this year (15 people all told, between my family and significant others, and her side and significant others), we ended up putting presents under both trees.

I geek out at Christmastime. It's probably my favourite holiday of the year, followed closely by Guy Fawkes' Night (which no one seems to celebrate in Atlanta, sadly).

I loathe artificial trees. Perhaps I will burn it on Epiphany.

Careful now. The fumes might be poisonous!

Why many years ago I helped a friend bun her synthetic bra ... but that's a different story.
