We decorated today with lights hanging on the outside of the house, put up the tree with a Christmas themed train going around it. :)

And I changed my blurb. :bloobleh:

My dad and I decorated our tree during the weekend. Sad thing is that we haven't even put the angel on the top yet. :-/

My church is currently renting space from another one. Recently, the actual owners of the building decorated for Christmas. It's mostly the usual - random lights, mistletoe hanging from all the light fixtures, a nativity set crowded against gigantic candy canes, etc. However, in one corner of the stage, there is the most grisly, morbid Christmas tree that I have ever seen. It is covered in angels. To put this in perspective, remember that scene from 300 with the dead townspeople nailed to a tree? It looks like that, and more than one person has made the comparison. Here are some pictures:

And yes, the tree topper does look like an odd kind of fungus.

What were they thinking?! :wiltshock: Eh, guess it was someone trying to be "creative", I guess.

Well, um, I can definitely see the resemblance.8D But really that's way overdone. Is there even any tree left?

Well, for me we've pretty much done the usual. I helped my dad set up our outdoor lights after Thanksgiving like always and our artificial tree inside (though it's so old that pretty much all the lights on it are burnt out). But we haven't put the ornaments on yet. Just haven't found the time.

But I gotta tell ya, I had a hard time coming up with anything to ask for this year, but one thing that I definitely want is to actually have a white Christmas, because here we almost never get any real snow until January, and last year we didn't get any real snow at all! In addition to that all I asked for is a laptop computer and a windows XP OS for my main computer, because I hate Vista!

But some actual snow for Christmas would probably be the best present I can think of.:D

And I'm already out of school for five weeks, so I'm probably just gonna be wingin it, watching the Christmas specials, and listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the best christmas music ever!:smed:

That tree's pretty, I like the color combinations, but I agree it's over done. It's like one of those "trees" where the entire thing is made up of ornaments or something, rather than an actual tree with ornaments on it. I've never cared much for those.

The tree at my church is bare and ever week acquires red stocking "ornaments", most of them stuffed with money for the needy. Kind of plain, but it looks rather nice once enough stockings are hung on it. :)

After seeing just this picture, all I can say is "What were they thinking?!"

I wonder if they'd like a tree with those decorations. :bloocross:

Whoa.....that's overdone. :wiltshock: You really can't see a whole lot of the tree itself.

I think that's the tree Charlie Brown was supposed to get. You better treat it right. It's rare memorabilia.

The white angels look like mold if you squint. Gnarly.
