    Wow you guys take your christmas tree decoration very seriously.
    I just throw mine up and then the little Murlocks attack it and decorate with what ever the hell they want.. One year our christmas tree had baby shoes on them, a naked barbie and Lightning McQueen

    I guess you didn't notice the details:

    As for hanging toys off the tree:

    And them messing with my pretty tree, they made some christmass tree window decals, and decided they would look better on it than the window (and I agree):

    We have 4 cats, so we're not expecting it to remain intact for too much longer....

    Not sure if this falls into the ban of on Religion but its Merriest month of the year so....

    I'll post mine when I put it up Monday if the thread isn't shut down

    Funny thing is that Christmas is (to me) a mostly secular holiday. Are there plenty of folks that enjoy Christmas with out the religion? Least as I was raised, never entered a church or taught religious beliefs.

    Maybe that's just my take.


    We have a tree up. But it's for the cats to bat around. Haha! See? Empty boxes and cat toys.

    To me Christmas isn't a religious experience but I won't get into that. The season of giving and all that. Joy to the world :)

    Wow! Some gorgeous trees in this thread! Mine's a living Norway spruce this year, still chillin' outside until a few days before Christmas. I'm following the tradition of my paternal grandmother, who always had living trees for Christmas she planted after the holidays.

    What an awesome idea. I want to find a little one for my mom we can plant after

    Cool! I hope you will! It should be easy to find one at a good nursery.

    Then why the advent wreath??

    Growing up we never observed any religious beliefs. As an adult, recently (2-3months) I've taken up with the Catholics. That's why the wreath. But the tree is just a cat toy/holiday thing. I don't see it as an expression of a belief system. Make sense? I easily assume Americans think of Christmas as a holiday celebration, not a religious celebration- becasue that is the way I experienced it.
