    Real-only 7 feet tall this year (as opposed to my usual 10 footer) because I didn’t want to move all my furniture around to put it up. Decorated in a peacock colored theme and it is REALLY quite fabulous!
    I even wore my turquoise shirt this morning to match it…Merry Christmas everyone!

    We went green this year–literally–with a 2.5 foot potted tree, that we’re planting outside this week!

    We always got a real tree, pretty much as large as would fit in our living room with 7-ft. ceilings. And then we got our current dogs, who eat everything in sight, and decided to go fake from then on.

    It’s actually pretty nice looking- the big thing I miss is the pine smell you get from real ones.

    As far as decorations, it’s a very eclectic mix of all the ornaments we’ve accumulated over the years. No theme, but it’s nice to have the memories fresh all over again every year when we decorate.

    We have two trees, a real one about 8 feet tall. I think we put almost everything on this year, no theme whatsoever. The other tree is about a foot and a half tall, it’s fake. The little one is just mine. It’s done in gold and red with a white angel, I didn’t have one that was small enough and that matched.
