Red and White Christmas Trees | Thursday Two Questions #13

Not too early to put up your Christmas Tree is it? There are so many ways to do your tree this year. For one, do you see the top of the tree, it's not a typical star or angel, but more grandiose! A whole lot of "look at me." I purposely left the photos to have a closeup view. So go ahead, take a closer look. It's gorgeous.

I like ABC Wednesday meme a lot, like I said in my Guess Who I Am post, I wanted to take the opportunity to learn a new word a week. But I have to admit, I can't keep up, they are already on the letter U! Anyhow, for my lame contribution today, these Christmas trees have a couple of things in common, they are Unique and Uniformed.

Then I have to give credit where credit is deserving. White Wednesday and Rednesday have yielded the most visitors in my Stats Page when I participated in the Wednesday memes. That means these two memes have the most wanderers, and I just wanted to say thank you.

Here are my Thursday Two Questions:
1) Are you planning on a different theme for your tree this year?
2) Do you like the new look of the tree top you see here?

Thanks for stopping by today.

We're doing artificial tree for the first time in my life. This is a real change.

The trees are pretty, but seems like too much decoration for my taste.

My tree is the same as always...green with random ornaments and white lights. But I love the look of the white tree with all the red.

Those trees are outstanding! So pretty! I plan to just pull out my old decorations. Nothing new around here this year. But the kids love it.
have a great evening!

wow, those are gorgeous trees. Nope, nothing new for our tree, same old decorations :)

My Christmas theme is more or less the same as it has been the past five years. Why reinvent success! The only change is that I put up less each year. Lazy, I guess.

I love the trees and the tree top you displayed. Thanks for sharing.

1) I always adjust my decorations based on gut feel. This year, still using the same decorations of year past, I changed the look to silvery light!

2) They look OK but I prefer the star because it still relates to what Christmas really means!

#1.) I haven't put up a Christmas tree in over 10 years. We did toy with the idea this year since we have this wonderful, huge house, but we decided all the other decorations are more than enough. (No small children or there would be a tree.)

#2.) I have no idea what the "old" tree top looked like, and I have no idea which photo you are referring to, however, with a few exceptions, I don't like themed trees at all. I like the trees decorated with memories and love. That's what Christmas should be about. Many themed trees leave me thinking of malls and greed. Alas.

i gave away my artificial tree, and i'm not planning to put up a tree this year. just a huge wreath on the door.:p

both trees are very pretty. the one with evergreen is my favorite.

Those are gorgeous trees and decorations.

1) We are lame, so we decorate our tree the same way every year, though the kids want to change it up next year..

2) I like the top used on the trees very much. Unique!

@Roger Owen GreenI favor artificial trees, because the real ones ca burn down the house. :-) The trees are overly decorated because it belongs in a department store and they are selling the ornaments. :-)

@JessiI would like to do a pink tree next year. My tree changes every year with the ornaments that the kids make.

@craftylesThe peppermint tree is festive and fancy indeed.
Colette SDecember 14, 2010 at 11:35 AM
That is a whole lot of look at me, but I have to say , they are beautiful and I wouldn't mind having such a gorgeous tree even once!

2. Definitely like it.
1. My overhaul was to have one ribbon around the tree this year instead of those regular cutesy things I usually put on it. I don't even know what they are called! lol

Amanda, I thought I visited you last week for this meme. Sorry about that.

We are using last year's theme again but maybe I will change it next year.

I love those trees, the white one reminds me of one we had when I was a child.

@JamericanSpiceThat is so funny, cutesy thing? I stopped decorating 3/4 of the way down the tree.

@SquirrelQueenThese trees are amazing in that they are filled with ornaments, and in that sense alone they are no ordinary tree! They are very expensive trees.
