Pictures of the Season -- Please post yours

It is no secret that insofar as decorating my house for Christmas my holiday cheer knows no bounds. But I also love looking at other people's decorations for the winter holidays, as well as pictures of their (family friendly) celebrations.

So to get things started, I'm posting some pictures of my four (yes, four -- could have been five or six, but I chose to show a little restraint) Christmas trees and some of the other decorations. Please, everyone, feel free to share your own Christmas/Chanukah/Winter Solstice/New Year/or other applicable December-January holiday photos, from this or any other year.

Re: Pictures of the Season

This is what we call the Narnia room, since it is supposed to loosely represent a forest scene in that winter-stricken land just at the time that Father Christmas makes his reappearance. Note the little stone animals under the tree, soon to be revivified by Aslan but, sadly, not yet.

Re: Pictures of the Season

Further detail from the Narnia tree (since I found I could only attach five pictures to the previous post), plus a picture of some of my Christmas houses, because they don't specifically go with any of the trees:

Re: Pictures of the Season -- Please post yours

Wow, Teresa, you do go all out! I'd post ours but they're a little unimpressive - a Christmas tree light silhouette in the front window. My other half is less than enthusiastic about Christmas, I'm afraid...

Well, then, what about you and family and/or friends making merry?

I love your Green Man head decoration. When I saw you'd changed your avatar to that I didn't realise it was your own - I thought it was a picture. I want one! (stamps foot)

You've got some great decs. Do you bring the houses out just for Christmas?

I'll take some photos of our decs this evening and post them for you.

Nope, none of those, either, sadly...

Oh, very nice, ice.monkey! Your main tree looks very rich and elegant, and I love the home made decorations (and your namesakes on the refrigerator).
