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.
I have taken up with the Catholic bunch. Even have an advent wreath this year.

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.

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.

Actually I like it, the baby gate's nice; it doesn't even look like a baby gate! Sort of like, encasing a fireplace!0 -
