Festivities can be gooood sometimes! ;)

I'm not gonna promise anything, but I'll ferret around in my files and see if I can't dig up my photo of Hilary petting a reindeer at the zoo one christmas.

Wish I had a pic...but my ex sis-in-law lives in New Zealand, and comes home for Christmas each year a couple days before Christmas. So, a few years ago she and my ex dad-in-law (they are both still family to me, btw) started a tradition. They visit the tree places when she gets home and take the leftover branches, etc. Then they go home and she ties it together, creatively. It's always funny...and they have a great time. Good stuff.

There is a house in town whose residents hang their tree upside down, from the ceiling, for as many years as I've lived in this town. You can see it driving down Main St and it's a fun conversation piece for visitors.

It's too dark to take a good picture. I tried to get a picture of my cat snuggling up to the tinsel but he felt mocked and left.

hehe I found him in the tree garland.

Great picture! :)

reminds me of the cat scene in nat lampoon's christmas vacation.

Thanks! to both! lol

I just tweaked the adjustments. I wish you could post some of yours shawnee and I am waiting for that reindeer photo 3foots.

You say there are people who hang their tree upside down? Why do they do that?

Well, there's not a whole race of these people that I know of ;) but I guess they do it because it's different, and creates a fun thing to talk about. I like it.

Or, maybe there is a whole race of people who believe the luck runs out if you hang it the other way...not sure. :p

Maybe it's easier to hang ornaments.? ;)

This could be true.

Suppose: there is a Christmas tree on a treadmill, and the ornaments are...

never mind

Oregon Truck Parade :eek3:

I love houses done in good taste. :D

Bruce, is that your house? It's beautiful (the decorations too, but I love the house!)

Just wait for tomorrow night when I finally get home from school for break and I'll show you some lights.. there's a guy in my neighborhood that goes nuts. Every limb and every branch of probably 7 big trees in his yard are covered in lights. Not to mention his driveway is lined, the entire house and windows outlined, last year he spread some flashing ones out on the lawn to create a river of lights under the snow. He rents a cherry picker every year to put up more and more lights. He's very comfortably into the tens of thousands of lights.
The man is sick.

Nope, don't do any Christmas decorations, anymore. ;)
