Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

I'm really just starting this because we're waiting for my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and their dog to get here and I'm going crazy, but this could be fun.
This is what we have:
-assorted red and green balls
-a Coke machine with a door that opens and a polar bear sitting inside
-a leg lamp from "A Christmas Story"
-a very seductive-looking Marilyn Monroe
-some toy story candy canes
-a shiny glass pickle
-the queen from Snow White
-Harry and Snape standing over a cauldron
-a talking Starship Enterprise
-a ballerina
-some rotating baby angels
-Snow White dancing with Prince Charming in a thing that spins around
-several Santas
-several snowmen that my aunt knit 30 years ago
-a dollhouse
-Queen Amidala
-assorted angels
-a silver maple leaf with one of those helicopter seeds
-an Edmonton Oilers ball
-a pink stained glass Star of David
-a couple of teddy bears

And the tree is fake and white.

Oh, and a silver snowflake that I crocheted!

Oy vey. My family's tradition for the past number of years is to give ornaments in lieu of presents, so I've a great number of different types of ornaments. Unfortunately, I have not had a tree since we began this tradition, so I'm afraid your search yields no results from me.

Hmm, it's a bit of an odd question for my house. We have a 12 foot Christmas tree, and we quickly discovered that normal sized ornaments look insignificant on it. So we can only have oversized ones, and since they are expensive I would just buy a new set of 10 matching ones after each Christmas when they went on clearance. But this year we didn't get time to put up the tree until last week, so we just let the kids put up some of the childproof ones and called it good.

So, 3 plastic candy twist things, 5 fluffly snowflakes, 2 gold bells - all 5-10" big. And all within the bottom 2 feet of the tree.

What isn't on the tree that I'm really sad about are my ornaments - I'm sure I brought home the Disney ornaments I purchased when I was in Florida last year, but we haven't been able to find them anywhere!

We just used our leftover wedding gift card money and bought a bunch of red and silver balls. My parents used to have a bunch of hodgepodge and homemade ornaments, but my mom has recently acquired a rather extensive collection of Precious Moments characters. Their tree is a bit too "cute" for my taste...

We get ornaments for Christmas every year, so our family room tree has all those ornaments from all us kids (except for my married sister, who was given them as a marriage gift I suppose). So they're kind of matchy, in that there are usually five or so similar ornaments each year, but there are lots of different kinds. It's nice.

A few years ago we got a living room tree, which has all purple and silver ornaments in order to look classy and impress company. Ooh. I wonder if my home teachers are coming tomorrow!!1 *loves her home teachers, esp. one of them*

Bob, care to tell them what ELSE was on your Christmas tree?

It wasn't you was it? That would be awfully tacky...

I made a fabric Christmas tree to hang on our wall - on accounta' we're short on floor space - and we hung some blueish ornaments left from our wedding, some orange ones I liked, a tiny onesie with the Superman symbol on it, a frog, a snowman wearing a beret and holding a palette, an (empty) baby's first Christmas frame, and a paper ornament that our son "colored" in nursery. 100% class.

No, it had nothing to do with him, actually. My parents hung one of my presents on the Christmas tree. This present happened to be my new cute bra and underwear.
