Here is the 15' Christmas tree I put up on black Friday. I think last years was bigger, but this one is respectable.
Ho Ho Ho !!

There is no way to walk in or out the door behind the christmas tree man. Mabie shave off a couple feet of the tree :lol:
Here is our christmas tree. Our tree is actually taller but we don't use one piece because we live in a mobile home now.

Very nice trees there guys. We don't have ours yet, for all I know it's still growing in the tree yard. But I will be sure to post pictures after it is in and decorated.

I dunno, too much? I forgot to take my grandfather of the wall.
Oh well, he probably wouldn't have minded.
I might have gone overboard in the backyard too?
Hey, who's that bum in the fishing jacket?
Is he stealing one of my stars?

Ok, atleast Termy and FF played by the rules. Nice..
FF, almost no room left to get through the doorway....

Actually, I put the star on from the second floor railing.
I use my 10 foot stepladder.
I also own a MONSTER 14' wodden stepladder. It is a bear to move and use.
When open, it is eight foot across.
A 14' wood stepladder is pretty rare....hard to find.
Used it to do the electrical on the 17' ceilings.
Ho Ho Ho !!

Yeah, I'm feelin' the spirit!
Hell, that's not even our tree, it's the neighbors.
I just took a picture of it, blew it up to 81/2 X 11, printed it out and taped it to the wall in the family room.
I go all out for the kid's!

You should be commended and treated to a night as a king! Most dads wouldn't do that, they would just say "go to park and look at that tree". :wink:

Hey, that looks like one of the branches I cut off the bottom of mine....
I thought I threw those on the bonfire pile...
It's not the tree that matters..it's what's in the heart.

Nice work Chris. Your dog looks like she got a bit worn during the decorating. Maybe she is just guarding the presents?

Pretty tree Mints! I love the blue-green (think there is name for it but can't remember.. :oops:) color.
Is that your little guy? How old? He's looking pretty proud of his decorating skills... :wink:

Thats it, I must have had brain lock, happens from time to time. People tell me that will happen more and more often as I get older. They also say that I will be lucky if I don't get allsymers. :roll:

BTW Minty....nice figure you've developed... :wink:
I was talking more about the color...even some of the Scotch pines have it but some don't....thought there was a special name for it...but maybe its just "blue-green" (trust me to make it complicated...:roll:)

That's my White German Sheppard Stella. She sleeps in front of the fire guarding the home until my wife and I turn off our bedroom light and go to bed. Then she spends part of the night at the foot of our bed and the rest there on the living room floor. On the nights I work late she will lie there until I come home as from there she can pretty much see everthing through the sliding back doors and windows. She is a wonderful guard dog. A gentle as a Marshmallow unless she senses a threat. Then you are on your own. She sits out in front of my house all day lounging around so the entire town knows she is here. Neddless to say I don't have to lock my front door but I do lol....Then there is Gus my Australian Cattle Dog mix that I rescued from the shelter 5 years ago. He is my early warning barker. He sleeps upstairs with the kids.

Merry Christmas Termy! :wink:

Stella is gorgeous! My sister has a black German shephard...absolutely beautiful dogs.
I've seen some herding breeds at the dog park....one day when I had taken Reba, before we got Brutus, there was one there who kept herding Reba :shock:. Reba was so confused...she wanted to play but this dog stayed just out of reach but kept circling her... :lol: :lol: I think Reba wore herself out just in pure frustration that day... :roll: :lol:

Stella! Hey, Stella!
Author: Chris S
Date: 19 Dec 2005 11:50 pm
LOL..... :wink:
Stella is quite large. She does not herd. She watches. She is very quiet. Hardly ever barks, just stares at you. When she does bark "lock an load" because there is trouble. The house shakes when she barks also. She allows me to work late and not worry about my family. She loves other dogs people and children. She does not like anything she senses as a threat to my family. I have seen her in action. Scarey. She is also so very sweet kind an gentle. A one year old could pull her ears off and she will just sit there. My youngest grew up torturing her lol....
White German Sheppards talk to you by making barking noises though which is so strange considering how quiet they are and Stella does that too when she wants to go outside. She talks, not barks.
They can be as agressive as the blacks but are known to be more discerning before they get agressive which makes them very popular as family guard dogs. Stella is that to a tee.

Here is the tree almost complete. Sorry I didn't have the lights on - I took them this morning and didn't feel like climbing around the tree. There are a few more ornaments to go on yet. But what is on the tree now is all ones that I have painted. (Except the tree top.)

Looks very nice Sherri, particlarly the handmade decorations. Instead of being stamped, "made in China" you'll have to stamp yours with "made in Nova Scotia" and sell them to China. Over 1 billion possible customers to keep you busy making them for their market.
I see you keep a model of your favourite car.

Thanks. I don't think that theres enough seconds in a day to supply China with ornaments of any kind that are painted by little ole me. I see the ones that I have done and on the tree and then I look and see the ones yet to be painted...I think I'm going for over kill!
Yuppers, that's one of my faves sitting on top of the curio. Had no other place to sit it and it fit perfect right there, so why not?

Very very nice Sherri. I love the ornaments. Pretty tree. Did you guys cut it down from your own land?

Thanks Paula. I didn't think I'd have enough to do the whole tree, but I did and there are still a few other special ones that I want to stick on. We sadly didn't cut our own this year, we bought it from one of our customers at a local farm market. It was a fresh tree though, they had just brought them out to the place. Chris says that next year he's going to start pruning a couple of them that are around our place and we'll have our own.

LOL - it was the top that was leaning. I told you guys that it was a little off center on a branch that everyone else seems to think is the tree top. :D
