Since @cortsull0724 won't have a tree, and requested to live vicariously, why not share here? What does everyone's tree look like? Here's ours (with our fake fireplace going 🤣)...

    @trubaby411 great thread idea and I LOVE your tree! It’s so festive and happy looking. 

    We don’t have a tree yet, planning on getting one this weekend. I’ll take pics when it’s up!

    @trubaby411 thank you!  My favorite part are the kids hand and footprint ornaments :)

    My daughter requested colored lights, so I think my days of pretty white Christmas trees may be over.  I'm excited for her to love the tree as much as I do, though, so if that means colored lights, that's what we will do!  She breaks my heart when she tells me she doesn't love Christmas movies or music!  I can't have her also not love the tree!

    @scaredunprepared your tree is beautiful! But yeah, change it up if kiddo wants to. I have to admit I agree with her re: Christmas movies, but the music?? Little grinch. Lol.

    @etnyah you don't like Christmas movies???  

    @nsk489 it's beautiful!  I sometimes miss having a real tree.  There's something extra magical about it.

    @scaredunprepared not a huge fan, no! I mean, they’re okay, but I’ve never seen one that grabbed me and I usually don’t have any interest in watching the same movie more than once. My sister is massively into watching the same Christmas movies every single year and it drove me nuts growing up  :p

    @acleverusername it's beautiful! But yeah, anything breakable probably should be put away until baby is like....6 or 7 😆. We haven't used "real" ornaments in so long, but I do love our tree the way it is and can't wait to add more hand and foot prints to it!

    Great advice! DD literally broke 6 or 7 ornaments this year. May need a hot glue gun or something to put them back together if I have the patience.

    @ladyofarlington I love the grouping!! I can't wait for the redecorating stage....right now my son is super into taking the ornaments OFF but not putting them back on the tree (instead just leaving them all over the house lol)

    @nsk489 lolll my son takes them off very carefully, then tries to put them back on and gets upset when he can’t do it properly, so he hands them to me. I need to do it RIGHT AWAY, or else. It’s very cute but a little strange to be in the middle of doing whatever, and a little silver pine cone suddenly gets shoved in my face  :D
