crys Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 How many Christmas trees do you put up in your home? What is the theme of each? My main tree is gold and ivory with white lights. I still have my original angel from 11 years ago when dh and I first moved in together. It was the most pitiful thing ever. We had a real tree that year and it had a spider nest in it!! We woke up one day and the tree looked like it had snow all over it- spider webs:shock: ! The angel still has spots of blood on it where we were swatting the spiders. I stick it in the tree now. I have two more in the front entry way, one is pink and green with contemporary decorations. The other is lilac, rose, and black. My dining room tree is a country style narrow tree with old fashioned snowmen, candy canes, and rafia bows. The kitchen tree is multicolored lights with gingerbread and cooking ornaments, teaspoons, wooden spoons, etc. The bathroom tree is really garish. It isn't much of a tree as it is ornaments. Dd has an aqua, pink, purple, lime, pink rice light tree. It looks age appropriate in her room. The bottom has a purple lame skirt. Ds has a cowboy theme tree with chilli pepper lights, rope garland, straw cowboy hat topper, bandana bows, and other cowboyesque items. The skirt is burlap material. Our bedroom is done in the shabby chic style so the tree is victorian style. Most everyone in my family has a tree in each room! My dh thought I was CRAZY when I said we were following the tradition. He admired it at their homes, but cringes during the Christmas explosion week at ours! I really should get off of here and continue since I have the day off of work to decorate! I totally forgot about my most favorite tree in the world! In our tv room, I have a vintage aluminum tree. We didn't have the clor wheel for a few years so we just put a spot light on it. My dh just found a color wheel at a flea market! Color me excited~~:)!!~~
Gray04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 We only have 3. This will be the 1st year with all of them. :) The past years we have had 2. In the playroom it has red lights as that is what the boys picked with all of the homemade ornaments. In the livingroom is the tree with the gifts under it. Everyother year it has all crystal/white glass ornaments with either all white lights or multicolored or ornaments we have specially picked out. We have a blue tree in the past (not our favorite) and one year we had an all white decorated tree (pretty but we really prefer the colored) Happy decorating!
samisma Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 wow. we only do one. although i'm going to start putting a 2nd (artificial) one outside on the front porch if i can find a good deal on one. cactus and palm trees - just not festive enough for me.
bayhaysay Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 We only do one and it doesn't really have a theme.
msdarkness Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 we have 4 the one in the Living room is the one that I put the kids ornaments on so it is basically filled with Sponge bob My Little Pony Hello Kitty Nightmare Before Christmas and ornaments that DD made in prek last year..I then put Christmas trains and other toys under the tree..MY tree in the dining room is the only real tree we have and it is usually 7-10 ft tall and all white lights with silver and blue hand blown glass ornaments..DD has a pink tinsel tree in her room with lime green ornaments..In bathroom it is decorated with little travel size lotions soaps ect..I do how ever want one for my kitchen so I can do little kitchen inspired ornaments but I don't have any room unless maybe I can get one for the counter...hmmmm...and I am also wanting one for my room..DH thinks I'm crazy always has always will..We only had one tree when I was little but I have always wanted a tree in every room and I will I have my mind made up.
jarerice Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 We usually only have 1, but since I caught Target's christmas clearence last year 90% off. We will have 3 or 4 this year. I can't remember. I know we will be lit up like Chevy Chase this year thanks to all of the sales stuff. I cought 400.00 worth of christmas stuff at Target last year for 40.00 and bought every single light set the CVS had left at 90% off.
cassgurlie04 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 we only put up one and this is the first year in a new house so im thinking were gonna go with blue lights and blue ornaments to match the blue carpet.:)
citrixgirl Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 we only have one tree and it really does not really have a theme. The first year hubby and I were together we did not have money for ornaments so we put our Christmas cards on the tree. Also every year we each get an ornament something relating to that years events. Hubby is suppose to buy mine every year but as it is I end up buying that every year.
dd50 Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 I have a7 1/2 memory tree in the family room. It was ornaments from the last 20 years, some bought, some made and some gifts. In my dining room I put up a small 7 ft tree. Last year it was decorated with aqua and blues. May change it this year. In my dining room I put a 3 ft tree up with orange ornaments. In the guest bath we use a silver tree with purple and pink ornaments. My three girls each have a 2 or 3 ft tree that they decorate a little differently each year.
Shortness Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 We do one in the living room and a tiny one the kids do on their own--sometimes it's in their room, sometimes in an opposite corner as the other tree. No theme really. My aunt got me some glass ornaments that I've been using--the kids' tree has their handmade ornaments--and whatever they want to put on it. I also have some of their handmade ornaments on my tree.
bluebear Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 The last few years we have had 2 big trees, little trees in the 3 kids' rooms, and a couple other 2-3ft trees. We have no room in our living room for a tree, so we take our dining room table down, and put our big main tree there, in front of the big picture window. Last year I got all new gingerbread and candy ornaments. It kills me, though, not being able to decorate my dining room table. I bought some gingerbread house placemats, in case I can figure out a way to keep up my table. There is also a little bitty candy-decorated tree beside the big tree. Our other big tree is in my bedroom, decorated in the kids' crafts and "toy" ornaments, Star Wars, Nascar, SpongeBob, Thomas, etc. I'm hoping to find 1 or 2 more 6-7 ft trees on clearance this year, so I can have them in a few more places. I like the idea of a bathroom tree, I'll probably do that this year!
BGndr Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 We have a large tree in the living room, decorated with rustic primitive ornaments. There is a tree in the master bedroom with Americana decor, daughter has a pink tree with pearls as ornaments, there are also two little trees in the kitchen with red and white checked fabric ornaments. We'll probably have a tree on the landing of the staircase, and four tabletop trees go across the mantle of the fireplace.
cwife Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 We have one 7ft tree in our dining room that doesnt really have a theme. We have table top trees in the boy's rooms. No theme just whatever small ornaments they pick out. This year I want a white tree to put in my kitchen with a turquoise and red color theme and some gingerbread ornaments. I also want to put a 5ft tree in the living room with a black/gold or gold and ivory color theme.
kieransmummy Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 We have one, it's doesn't have a theme, alot of the ornaments the kids have made.
hwolf6330 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 I do two trees in the house. The main one in the living room is all clear lights with old-fasioned looking ornaments, mostly snowmen. The other is in my kitchen/dining room and has colored lights and gingerbread and candy ornaments. I also put a gingerbread village on top of my cupboards.
bfqueen97 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 This year it will be 2 trees. In the past it has been 4. One in living room- Ice Blue, white and silver with white lights One in Foyer- White Tree, Colored Lights. Colors are Fushia, Turquoise, Apple Green and Purple. Maybe next year I will go back to 4. Next year my tree in my living room is changing to black, silver and white.
PeachieKeen Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Two trees for my house...one upstairs and one downstairs...and I can't wait to get them up!!!!
jlr1996 Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I put up 11 trees, each with a theme. Playroom is Nascar, Office is coca-cola, t.v. room is americana, kitchen is snowmen, living room is boyds bears, front porch is red bulbs, ds is sports, dd is purple, master bedroom is blue and silver stars, master bathroom is blue and silver snowmen, 2nd bathroom is green and silver bulbs. I love each and every one of them. I can't wait to get them all up.
HAnderson Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 We only put up one tree and there isnt really a theme to it. I would love to do a couple more trees.

One is my kitchen and it is of candy and food (get it it's in the Kitchen) Then my entry way and it is green and red, The main one is ornaments we have collected through out the years. Then I have two upstairs, one is precious moments and the other is angels. I want one to put in the master bedroom but hubby has but foor down.
alimfp Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 With the clean up (of real trees), I can only handle one. And I personally can't do smaller fake trees when we have a bigger real tree. Just doesn't seem.. right? to me. Not sure why. So one for us! :) No specific theme, other than.. Christmas.
dmmiller Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 We just have one.. I keep thinking of getting a second one, but I think DH will kill me if I do. LOL
