Ok, I was going to take pics of my tree this weekend and post but my daughter came by and took my camera. I should have it back in a day or so... I hope! I had wished I had it last night. It was so cute. Jake has never bothered with the tree before, other then laying under it. But last night he was playing pretty hard underneath. Almost climbing up the trunk! I use a round vinyl table cloth for a skirt (round and cut a straight line to the middle) because otherwise, a cloth one would be a fur tree skirt. Anyway, as soon as I get my camera back I'll post pictures! ANyone else have any christmas tree/other holiday pictures to share? My neighbor is Jewish and she has some cute decorations outside. She has colored lights around her deck with some colorful driedels on strings.
Heres mine
Great decorations!
Our humble little tree....

Karen those are lovely!!!
Wow!
Everyone has such beautiful decorations!
Karen, I love your draught excluder! I've seen those here, but know that it would scare the living daylights out of Annie if I got one!

What a wonderful thread - I've just read it from start to finish - I love everybody's decorations, past and present! It was very educational too - I'd never before seen a Hannaka wreath - very pretty.
I don't have my decorations up, I'll be putting them up on Friday. The very first post mentions telling a little bit about your traditions, and that's been on my mind lately, so I'd like to do that.
I grew up Catholic, but became Pagan as an adult; as a very traditional person, it's been hard to celebrate the holiday with no previous sort of tradition to go on. Well, after nearly eight years, I think I've finally worked it out (yes, believe it or not, because of TCS! I was spotlight of the week last week, and a lot of people asked really intelligent questions that got me thinking about the holiday, and how I wanted to celebrate it). So, it's not a tradition yet (this is my first year), but I've got it pinned down now.
My BF is agnostic, but follows a Zen Buddhist philosophy, and the 8th is a significant day in Zen Buddhism (Bodhi Day - celebrating the Enlightenment of Buddha). As BF isn't religious, he doesn't "celebrate" it, but I thought it would be a good day to pick to start our holiday season, as it is significant to him, to me (for personal reasons), to our families (it's a Catholic holiday as well). Plus, the Bodhi tree can be seen as one varient of the World Tree (the probable origin of the Christmas Tree). (And because the Bodhi tree is a sort of fig tree, I'll make some sort of fig dessert - probably pastis - for eating after the decorations go up.)
So that sorted out when to put the tree and decorations up. But to take them down again? It turns out science has come to my rescue. Perihelion (the earth is at it's closest point to the sun) is in the first week of January. Perihelion, like the Solstice itself, moves annually by a few days. So I've decided to pick Perihelion as the 'end' point of my holiday season.
Anyway, thank you for letting me share my "tradition". It makes it a little bit realer to tell someone about it.
I'll take pics of my decorations on Friday - and the pastis if it turns out well.

Sarah, what's a draught excluder?
It's the thing that stops the stream of air, flowing into the house, from under the door!
ETA: Ah ha! I see you guys spell draught differently!
OK! now I get it!
I have another snowman one in my breezeway!

What exactly is a breezeway, by the way?
It's a little different
Now we are even! It's small room that connect the house to the garage
