How is it decorated?
I have a real tree that is flocked with snow and I decorated it with Pince cones I sprayed with snow and added some silver glitter
I also used dried Christmas Flowers with Sliver and Gold and Blue lights
I have a lighted reindeer a Santa in the window and a decorated wreath with lights on the front door
How about you?

This year, we have an artificial (expensive, looks good) tree. I do love real trees, but, as I age, it becomes easier to manage a good looking faux tree. My grandson was so excited, as he and the rest of my family all got together to decorate the tree with all golden ornaments. An angel is atop the tree, as we always want an angel up there. My grandson and I (he's 6) picked out a wonderful snowman that is really tall, and he lights up, along with 2 penquins that light up really nicely, as well. Then, my grandson and I picked out Santa Clause and Snowmen to hang around the inside of the house, to make my grandson happy. My grandson and I bought another Nativity set, so, my grandson could tell me the story of Jesus' birth, as we set it up on the dining room table, along with red table runners that are flecked with gold and have tassles. The Angel atop our tree looks very pretty, as she is about 18" tall, and just fits, actually touching the ceiling. She is golden and wine colored, as our room has a wine colored carpet. It all looks great, and my grandson and I continue to add moving, music making snowmen, and other Santas that talk and sing. It's all very festive, and my grandson is in awe. every day. He loves to be the one to turn on the moving, lit, singing, caroling, talking Santas and snowmen, and caroling children dressed in velvets and golden trims. Christmas gift bags are all over under the tree and on and on throughout the room. (It's a 500 sq. foot room, very large).................it's a wonderful setting that we totally enjoy. Our Sidewalk to our door is decorated with stakes that are Christmas signs that say welcome with different decorations on them. We enjoy Christmas so much! Having my grandson help to pick out the ornaments and decorations is such a joy. I'm a lucky person! Merry Christmas!

The way I see it, I really cant enjoy my christmas or my christmas tree if I am obligated to clean up after it every day. My focus needs to be on other things- more important things. That is why I buy an artificial tree. That way, when the christmas season is over, I saftly tuck it away in storage until the next year. Christmas trees are expensive and if you have the money (and a maid) go for the real tree. But for me, I want to be saving my money for presents and hosting christmas parties and giving to local charities. And I am not an enviormentalist but I assume that it is probably not good for the enviorment to be cutting down all those trees solely for the purpose of displaying them in my livingroom with decorative lights. So I think you can show true christmas spirit without the real tree. We have had fake ones for years and they never seem to destroy our holiday spirit.

Yes. We have real and artificial. lots of lights, and ornaments. Many of them have personal meanings, such as some of the are made by family members, other have the pictures of some of us. The most important part of the decoration is the nativity.
We have lighted reindeer in the front of the house, Santa is in the house, lighted housed in the kitchen, dried flowers, some of them made by my eldest sister, and the Christmas cards are displayed for all to see.

Artificial tree, glass bulbs, garland from the 60's.. and a santa hat crowning the tree...
Some miniature lighted houses on the tv stand, and a cloth wreath on the door (made from old torn up clothing)..
And some more tacky things that I inherited from the 60's, like plastic candy canes, and such.

We have an artificial tree, with multi-colored lights, cheap (lol, we have a 3 & a 6 yr. old) non-breakable multi-colored ornaments, candy canes (real and fake ones), tinsel, and a few ornaments that are both keepsakes and made by the kids. And a multi-colored star on top.
Outside we have lights on our house for the kids and Santa decals on the glass door.

Artificial tree, colored lights and a few ornaments on it. Very simple. A few wreaths on the house. I haven't got my lazy but off of here to put up any lights yet. I'll get around to it......maybe.

Artificial tree with the bottom half bare and the ornaments that used to be there either in the garbage or undigested in my 19 month olds stomach.

I have an artificial tree and it has a pagan goddess on top. It has red and gold orbs on it, with a cranberry garland. I will be adding bells in keeping with the tradition of the wood spirits.

No.
It's funny that so many Christians have "Christmas trees", since the Bible FORBIDS their use, since they are a HEATHEN custom.
Jeremiah 10:2-4 "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
