    No ornaments, but seeing the lighted tree in the screen room as I work in the kitchen is nice.

      Here are some photos of our decorations this year. When my mother moved this summer, she gave me a bunch of ornaments, so I added close to 100 more ornaments across two trees this year 😅

      The main tree:

      Lights on so you can see the ornaments:

      And yes, for the record, the set up, and the photos, are almost exactly the same as last year.

      It it ain’t broke… 😁

        We have some of those as well (I have two and my mother has one). I think two were made by relatives (and one I think I bought a few years back). There are various iterations of these of course, but Mr WTG's Grandmother's is the perfect kind, to my eye. 🙂

            @wtg More beautiful trees! Love the wreath with the candle. I remember those little angel candles, I think my Aunt down the road had some. I have a ceramic tree very similar to yours, but mine has a blue star!

              My decor is very similar to last year's, with a few displays moved to new locations.

              The village (putting it in a bookshelf has been one of my better ideas)

                  I love your decorations as well! Esp the living room tree and the Santa collection!

                      I’m loving these slender trees! So much less intrusive than the big bushy round ones. We don’t have a lot of room for a tree, and I stopped putting one up when the kids moved out.

                      Here’s my tree this year, same as before but slightly different ornaments. Forgot my sock monkey!

                        @Piano-Dad I love to see those kinds of displays, but I’m not sure I’d want one in my neighborhood! 😅

                        @adagiom I love your display!

                                          Merry Christmas to one and all!

                                          Here’s the tree. Family will be by this afternoon to open presents.

                                          This crèche was a wedding gift and is my favorite Christmas decoration.
