    Thank you!!

    Mr wtg's grandma used to do ceramics:

    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. 🙂

      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:

      The piano room:

      My view from the bench:

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

      It it ain’t broke… 😁

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

        @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.

                  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!

                                          If You Tube is to be believed I think those potatoes are “roasties”. Looks like there are several different cooking methods and all of them look delicious! 👍

                                          How do you make them? What’s the best kind of potato to use?
