Christmas tree?
-
As for the big TV, Quirt mentioned when we met that we had a reverse piano-to-TV size ratio. Now, my smaller TV has long since been set aside for humongous ones in the living room and bedroom, and his smaller piano lives at my son's house in Orlando, where his youngest is working on Fur Elise and Rondo alla Turka.

wtg, I like your tall, thin tree. It's a lot easier to fit that silhouette into rooms where people live.
EDITED TO ADD: I see that Bernard has three of those tall, thin trees to spread festivity all over the house. And Mik has one, too! And sk!
We've had an artificial tree for many years, but it was huge and heavy and we gave it to someone in Oklahoma, since we knew that the volunteer fire department here would sell us a live one and deliver it. But a real tree has the diameter it has (and that's the diameter that the Christmas tree growers shear it to have.)
Quirt picked it out and was worried that the diameter might not fit the available space, but it fit really well.

We put up our tree last night.
This is so pretty. I'm guessing you quilted that tree scarf?

Ok here are our trees this year:
Living room tree:
Living tree with lights out:
Pencil tree in the piano room:
View from the bench (see the living room tree in the distance)
Another view from the bench

I have two narrow trees! One was Mom's and the other is mine. Not sure if I'll bring Mom's up from the basement this year. Usually I stick it out in the three season room where we can see it from the kitchen. My neighbor Sue (behind us) enjoys the view from her kitchen window. I'll see how energetic I am tomorrow....

As the kids etc are arriving Christmas Eve, MrsA & I got busy yesterday:
Stairs
Front door thing made instead of wreath
And the trees
She's really into the season, keeps adding baubles to the stairs, apparently we need new red baubles for the first tree, and a couple more sets of muti coloured lights around the house.

I like the tree that's on top of @pique 's piano. It comes in a bunch of different sizes. Our friends had one that is 6 feet tall and it looked really great.

Step 1 - get Tree #1 in position.
I don't move as quickly as some of you do....
Will decorate the tree and put out the Christmas tchotchkes over the next week or so. Not sure if I'm going to schlep Tree #2 from the basement. Will see if my neighbor will help me; it's pretty heavy and I'm not too confident carrying it up the basement stairs these days.

Tree #2 made it up from the basement. Found a bunch of burned out bulbs and replaced them. Did you know you can still buy those little incandescent bulbs with the two wires and replace the burned out ones?
Mr wtg's grandma used to do ceramics. Grandma Ceil's work:
Mom's door swag.
Every decoration is a memory.

This is our tree before it went on GLP-1s.
