LOL... but again, the real meaning of Christmas is not about the tree :-) we love to put up the tree and decorate it when we are young. but as we got older, errr..

It doesn't matter whether or not the tree has a fixed theme. My trees are decorated with different kinds of ornaments accumulated over the years. Some have been around for than 10 years! And when I look at each ornament, I remember the story behind it. Each piece means something, so the tree is more special and more beautiful to me than any other glamorous-looking tree at shopping malls. Hey Trish, that sounds really heartwarming!

My family hosts a weekly bible study in our home every Wed so the tree event is a big Christmas thing for us. We supply the tree/lights/some ornaments and the guys in the group put the tree up. Then the women help with the lights. Last of all, all of us, including the kids, get into the act into hanging the decor. Every year, every couple will contribute one new ornament to the tree to add on. The tree is abit messy, with no fixed theme. But everyone is so attached to their past ornaments that I can't break their heart by removing it. Our tree putting up event is a group thing every year.

Which probably accounts for quite a large portion of the population. Glad you are having fun & enjoying yourself though. You have probably looked into my house then *deadpans*

When I look out of my window at the opposite block of flats, I don't see any Christmas tree or lights. It doesn't feel very festive in my neighborhood. It's very sweet of your family to wait 'til you are back to do it together :) Ahhh I love Christmas! Have fun! Hey Farmer,

Haha I'm in charge of hanging the ornaments while he hangs the lights, arranges the leaves, the gift boxes and stuffed animals to make sure everything looks *just* right. Hey Lain,

That's really sweet that you got to decorate the tree with your dad. I don't think many dads does that with their kids these days. Anyway, I love the mini-tree. It's just so so so so pretty. :D Can't wait to see 12 more beautiful tress. Weee. :) Awww. That’s really sweet that you got to decorate the tree with your dad.
