You need a tree skirt on the tree in that last pic turbo

RickFLM4 · 11-27-2018, 05:48 PM

Ah shit, I have to get all that stuff out of the attic again...

Mingwan · 11-27-2018, 07:18 PM

Too much work. Somebody needs to invent a string sprayer that shoots lights out instead of silly string.

The wifey is looking for a white or silver skirt. We have a red one but it doesn't go with the silver/white theme

There's alot of old folks in my neighborhood who really can't climb ladders and stuff so they buy those spot light that project red/green speckles all over the house. I think it makes it look like gift wrap which is kinda cool

This is the extent of what goes on at the beef household.

After the "terrible cocoon hatching incident of 2002" we'll NEVER have a real tree in our house again. Now, 15 years of putting up the same 9' full bush artificial tree with the same ornaments we decided to try a new sparse frosted tree. It won't have decorations on until this weekend, but I kind of like it as it is for now. We'll prob go back to green next year, but it'll be a good change of pace every couple of years.

I wish it was that, I love that scene! And one little squirrel doesn't seem like it should cause too much trouble

Our 2002 tree that we cut down from a local tree farm came with hidden praying mantis egg cases attached ...free of charge.

We didn't see them because the tree was so lush and full. A "perfect storm" of mild temps that fall and our heating system caused them all to hatch on Christmas Eve. Those F'ers were everywhere!

Grumpy Old Man · 11-28-2018, 10:21 AM

Damn, it isn't even December 1st yet. Our Christmas decorations won't go up for a bit yet, it's still too early but here's a pick from Last year. Merry Christmas all...

Oh wow! What a mess... Merry F'ing Christmas!! Good call on the artificial tree.

I got all the boxes out of the closet. Going to cut my own tree this weekend and set it up.

I wouldn't... that can be a very costly thing to do apparently.
