The BIG Christmas tree post! Come on and share some Christmas joy!

I am a big fan of Christmas!
I love everything around Christmas, the trees, the lights and also the spirit and joy. I mostly prefer to have a white Christmas but the Snow gods have not blessed it with that for many years. My most favorite part is putting up the tree! I know most people do it already after Thanksgiving but we don't celebrate that here and most of us Dutch people wait till after Sinterklaas ( A dutch celebrating... Don't ask lol)) on 5 December. 

I waited but yesterday it was December 6 and I have put my tree up!
Here is my tree, I tried to do a evening shot as well but that really looks weird and no fun but I added it anyways. I only have my cell phone so I can't take a proper night shot right now. 

Sadly, I have a fake tree :(
I am highly allergic to pine and when I have a real one in the house and I touch it just a little bit my skin turns into a fire pit of hell. So decorating a real tree is out of the question for me. I miss the scent of a real tree in the house and I tried those cans and candles but they are not giving that real smell you want with Christmas. So if anyone had a good solution for that please share it with me here.

I also want to ask you to take a picture of your tree and share it with us all!
It's a little peak inside a room and a little peak inside the life of the person behind the screen,

Come on, don't be shy! Your Christmas tree really wants the attention!

Your tree is lovely, I don't have a tree, I don't really have the room anymore :(

Thank you! I wish I could give you the room for a tree. Maybe you can make a tree against the wall using wood?

My girls are grown now and everytime I get a corner free hubby thinks he can fll it with another fishtank lol

OOHHH you should return him a favor and give all his fish a Christmas had :D

He might get his fish on his Christmas dinner lol

Hahahahaha! Oh you sound so evil! :D

We are very much alike lol

Haha hubby says the same lol

Haha! perfect couple if you ask me! :D

I haven't but up my tree yet. I'm hopping to buy one small one in a pot.Your tree is pretty great!

Thank you so much! I am happy with my tree this year! No balls :D
I hope I can see yours as well one day.

Ate all the candy canes off our tree last night. Got a bit gluttonous :)

OOhhhh Nooooooo. Sugar rushhhhhhhhh.
Will you put new ones in the tree and eat them again?

:D yes... My son will restock tonight. I must learn some self control.

It's TOO hard to have self control when there is candy in the room screaming "Eat me, Eat me now or you will die"
Lol! Glad your son will restock! You might get hungry in the middle of the night!

Beautiful tree!

Thank you so much :D

You bet! :D

Am I going to see your tree as well this year?

D'aaaawwwwww hehe

Meeeeh, probably not. Truth be told, I'm somewhat of a scrooge....I enjoy the week of Christmas, but not much more. Lol

OOhh nooooooo! But you are the nicest Scrooge I have met! :D

I love your tree, I have to have a fake one too as I can not breathe with real pine in the house. I started to get allergic to pine in my late 40's, so odd I thought. So artificial for me too. I have been posting all of my decorating for the past two weeks here on Steemit for everyone to enjoy. Glad to see your post. I will be showing my tree in a couple of days. ;-)

It does not take my breath away but if I touch it... OUCH. It feels like sunburn but ten times as bad and I get these weird blisters. When I was a kid I had no problems with a real tree. My parents always had one and I helped decorating as well. The first time I get the skin burn was in my 20's, really weird. But I am glad the fake trees are becoming better looking these days. I look forward to see your tree soon.

OMG! I can only imagine how bad that would be, so sorry! OUCH is an understatement. Well, I have no problem with a fake one and I love to decorate it differently every year.

It hurts yes but there are worse things in the world. At least I know and I can but a fake tree. I love decorating the tree and the house. I always try to make new things each year but I always stick to the same colors red and gold.

I chose red, gold and white for this year. Here is a link to one of them if you want to see some of my decorations. https://steemit.com/howto/@sunscape/decorating-for-the-holidays-part-3-floral-arrangements-and-swags

OOh nice colors :D
