vanessa, all of them warm and lovely.. i have got reindeer birds:) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35412986

here's ours for this year at mossy shed... handcrafted and thrifted goodness :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/dottieangel/4141513448/in/set-72157622830301336/

Awesome tree! Our tree is always a lovely conglomeration of old and new. We have 1950's glass baubles from my grandparents mixed with handmade paper ornaments my kids have made. There is no rhyme, reason or color scheme...it's just filled with amazing memories.

I've got beaded ornaments! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35760312 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=35995449

Love the blue xmas tree - it's size, color and texture.

Hello Vanessa all beautiful.

I have a new BLUE tree in my room this year....affectionately known as the 'cookie monster' tree...just for it's color. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/4185565153_2b9b30932e_m.jpg

vanessa.. i love all items.. they are lovely.. i have ceramic ornaments.. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35454319

Our tree is very traditional. Haven't taken a pic yet. I definitely want to go a bit crazy next year with my tree, something to match my quirkyness. :)

Last year we had a Christmas party and we put out construction paper, magazines, glue, glitter pens, ribbon, and scissors and let our friends make the decorations for our first Christmas tree together.

here is ours! http://www.flickr.com/photos/originalyouth/4185565153/ the 'blue as cookie monster' tree!

here's mine! i know the star is not appropriately sized for the tree but with all the other crafting i have to get done for the holiday, i think it's staying. i love making my tree different every year with handcrafted decorations. http://creativeenvy.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/return-of-the-christmas-crazies/

I love that blue tree! Our tree this year is blue, not as blue as that one though. http://www.flickr.com/photos/92946807@N00/4185585867/

This one is actually from last year, but I think it qualifies as 'crazy': http://www.flickr.com/photos/stumptowncrafts/3499842703/

My Christmas ring: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36516989

Dottie's is amazing! Very inspiring. Mine is so normal, just full of vintage glass balls. [that have seen better days!]

wow. i am in love with dottieangel's! well done.

Cute blue tree! LOVE it!

Here is my Christmas Tree, Christmas Tree soap that is! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36139389

My Vintage Christmas tree is on my blog: http://www.ismoyo.com/2009/12/vintage-christmas-decorations.html

Awesome non-traditional tree! I would take a picture of mine but one of my two cats (I haven't figured out which one) has not only taken the decorations off and hidden them throughout the course of the day but knocked it against the wall. Love the selections people are showing!

How pretty! I have a baby Rudolph necklace with a natural garnet as an ornament :) http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35003972

I made a Shabby Chic Pink & Green Christmas Tree made of buttons and yarn. I also made electroplated leaf ornaments, adorned with glass beads, as well as beaded snowflake earrings.

Our tree is our surf board with colored Christmas lights strung around it.

Haven't put the tree yet but this wild & crazy little xmas tree/santa decoration was on our mantle for several years running. He's listed in our shop now: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35765897

That should have read: 'haven't put up the tree yet'. Gee, always a typo....

no tree pics to share, but I LOVE the vintage pink gingerbread ornaments!! I'm so tempted to whip up a batch of pink gingerbread right now!

Our tree is a bit grinchy this year. Don't know how that happened, but maybe its heart will grow.

We have a silver Christmas tree with white lights and vintage ornaments :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellobird/4132523232/in/set-72157622540166349/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellobird/4132523228/

those window stars are a lot of friggin work, I have never had mine turn out like the one you have listed:)

I am in LOVE with that blue "seuss" tree! where can i find one?

Ooh, so different!

Thank you dear Vanessa! what a sweet surprise to click on an Etsy tweet and see my tree there. I can't wait to look at all of these links. fatlittlesparrow, I got the tree at a great little store called "It's About Time" in Abilene, Texas. This was a few years back.

Hmmm I'll have to ponder this one!

Love all the different trees! Why have only one? We have the tradional tree, simpsons tree, maxine tree, sports tree, and even one with vintage jewelry! Way to go, outside the box! Luv it!

my tree is very traditional in look but I have a ton of collected vintage ornaments. some are random and so funny. some from my family. some from thrift stores, ebay, estate sales, and most recently recycledwares shop on etsy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45590251@N07/4186575714/

hehe, that poor gingerbread man!

Oh, I love the blue tree!!! :D While i'm really into modern design, my tree is very traditional and full of handmade ornaments!! I have beautiful wooden ornaments in my shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/3dots?section_id=6409480

This year I went super kitchy and decked out a white Christmas tree. I love it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/megankills/4164795984/

I'm a sucker for sparkly ornies hands down on the almost turquoise shiny brites!

I am in love with Olive's silver tree and living room! I have a small aqua blue tree in my kitchen decorated with hand felted bacon, egg and toast ornaments. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35916068

Peacock Christmas Topiary "Tree" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XqO3E8YKT-E/SyFljAgXM0I/AAAAAAAAAto/jkW2_rxM-ME/s1600-h/HPIM5593.JPG http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XqO3E8YKT-E/SyFmIw_BTFI/AAAAAAAAAtw/aLlBZmUas_k/s1600-h/HPIM5607.JPG

We went to Massoud's Tree farm, our second in a new family tradition. If you read the intro on their site about how the tree farm started, it's a wonderful place to go pick out a family tree. Their employees are really helpful with discussing tree types and sizes and repeatedly holding trees up so you can see them, and when you go in the room to pay it's a workshop full of busy family members making all the wreaths and things shown in the shopfront part of the barn in the picture, warmed by a big wood stove... now we just need to take our tree pictures! http://massoudstreefarm.com/

Oh, yes, and my blue and green glass bottle trees! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XqO3E8YKT-E/SyFjd0jFnPI/AAAAAAAAAtY/eMkvryHju40/s1600-h/HPIM5602.JPG

We went to Massoud's Tree Farm, our yearly tradition, for a traditional tree. The only thing crazy about it is how full of vintage glass ornaments it is, for having 2 cats and a toddler! If you read their website intro you'll see why Massoud's is a great place to get a real tree, and they have super-helpful employees, who will cheerfully lead you around the barn and hold up 25 trees for you to see well and compare, and when you go in the enclosed room to pay, there's a toasty wood stove [that barn is COLD!] and it's full of lively family and friends chatting and busily making all the wreaths and goodies for the shop part of the barn shown on their site- http://massoudstreefarm.com/ Wow, I'm a commercial for a tree farm! I really love going there!!

Love all the goodies that I am see here on this feature and also on the links posted!! I still haven't decorated!!! I'm late!!

Sorry, I swear it didn't work the first time!

I love a snowy white tree...and mine is decorated in silver and red ornaments :o)

how creative!

One of my favorites was decorating for my daughter's first Christmas a few years ago. She had her own tiny tree decorated with vintage silver spoons collected over a lifetime of travels by a distant aunt. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sweetsmilesbaby/4186713388/

Since I'm German , I won't have a tree until Christmas Eve, that's our tradition.But I'm all excited to see the other trees to get some inspiration how to decorate mine this year!

Wow!! This is so cool!! AudreyGardenLady

I LOVE that blue tree!! Our decorating isn't crazy, we have a lot of sentimental ornaments that I love to see again every year.

love love love that blue tree!!!!

I did a chroma of color last year ... all on a white tree. this year I have a white kitten who loves to climb the tree...soo our tree is devoid of ornaments and I have put vintage metal gym locker baskets around the room filled to the brim with sorted vintage ornaments in all colors. A " do it yourself" decorate tree... Christmas eve I will invite guests to decorate but before everyone leaves we have to undecorate it! nice job ellison cat! Crazy http://www.flickr.com/photos/opendoorstudio/4186102991/ this is last years!

very pretty and bright, love the blue! This year- due to traveling for Christmas- we opted for a little potted tree- a lemon cypress from Whole Foods. We wanted a to be "green" and also have something we could one day plant in the ground when we are no longer renting but own a home! We decorated it with this fun vintage bubble gum wrapper chain my mom made in the 60s!! Very fun. I'll try and post to the fliker group!

of course lots of vintage~ but with travel filled holidays a glitter filled metal tree suffices. http://www.flickr.com/photos/majamom/4106951685/in/set-72157622623650395/ ~Hugs

Our tree is silver and full of white lights and vintage wooden ornaments :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellobird/4132523228/in/set-72157622540166349/

I've enjoyed seeing all the decorations! :)

my christmas tree is just a bunch of red branches and ornaments so i definitely love that christmas tree!!

our "crazy" tree is the horrible ugly fake ficus tree in our apartment building's foyer. It's always dusty and so lopsided it has to be propped in a corner so it won't fall over but once a year I give it the all-out christmas decoration treatment.

My tree wasn't crazy til the dog thought it would be a good place to mark his territory!

You guys all have such gorgeous, wonderful trees! I love the vintage ornaments. This was the first Christmas that my boyfriend and I actually decorated. I'm a retail worker so I'm really no big fan of traditional Christmas decorating. Sadly, all of my decorations were bought from the store that I work at, but I did try my best at being creative with what I got. Because I'm a bit of a Grinch around Christmas, my "theme" was inspired by True Blood. It's dark, but also very festive, and a wonderful treat to come home to every night! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bekanator/sets/72157622879361719/

Cute finds!

Just wonderful! No Christmas is complete without the perfect Vintage 3 strand 1960's RED Statement Necklace!! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35758632

Thees are all so cute.

love this tree..whish I had one. Happy Holidays!

Definitely bring the cheer to Christmas. Bright and cheerful.

One of my trees... http://www.flickr.com/photos/marina_grigorieva/4112009966/

I definitey prefer the traditional Christmas look: Green tree, red and cream ribbons and white fairy lights and of a course a big wreath made from holly with bright red berries!

I love that entire display up there! What an eclectic yet festive mix. I have an aluminum tree that I love... :)

Love the blue tree! We have a normal tree that has a ton of beaded Christmas ornaments that my grandma made. When I was a kid I always got a beaded ornament, I never truly appreciated it. My grandma is now 97 years old and has not made an ornament in about 5 years. I truly cherish the ornaments now!

That is a really cool BLUE tree! I want one! :D

We too have a blue tree - a blue fiber optic tree we call Star. Very sparkly.

I added mine to the flickr group, but they are also here http://www.flickr.com/photos/girlsavage/sets/72157622881342221/ I hope to get more pictures soon, when I have time to do more decorating.

what fun! I love seeing everyone's trees!

Love the blue tree-lots of personality!

Love the blue Christmas tree! My ideal tree, however, would be fuchsia or hot pink!

LOL, I'd add a pic but it would probably violate Flickr's TOS. (I baked gingerbread vaginas and hung them on the tree.) It's getting entered in Penny Arcade's Dickerdoodle contest, however.

Love the blue Christmas tree. My ideal tree, however, would be HOT PINK!

All of my relatives' trees have at least one of these on them. They're certainly unique and can be made in any color. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36702955

What an interesting thread! In Lithuania it is the tradition to decorate homes on the Christmas Eve, which is, probably, even greater family holiday than Christmas. However, we do not keep the traditions in offices, and I had already decorated mine.

Hi, there! We have not yet trudged out to the snowy woods to cut our tree -- to busy packing orders. But we will. In the meantime, how about this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36672097 I will be giving this as gifts to all the great people in my life, the postal workers who bend over backwards for me all year, my children's teachers, etc. Happy Holidays to you all!

my poor little christmas tree http://www.flickr.com/photos/munieca/4169951932/ :))

Hello! Everything is wonderful here!

Our tree was ridiculously huge so we had to prune the branches off the bottom three feet...keep in mind that my husband is 6' and my kids can walk under the brances! LOL! http://onebeermom.blogspot.com/2009/12/trim-tree.html

My boyfriend and I are psycho about Christmas:) Since we live in an apartment, and can't decorate outdoors, we make up for it indoors, and decorate every room to the max-- even the bathroom:) We put up a 6 foot fake tree that gets swallowed up by our ever growing ornament collection! A few years ago we decided to actually get a real tree. What a disappointment! Does anyone else notice they have no smell anymore? I remember the house being flooded with that Christmas tree smell when I was little. But now nothing. So we're back to our fake tree and pine scented candles! http://www.flickr.com/photos/smidgegirl/4180387296/ And, of course, my sixth scale house gets decorated too. You can see some of my mini Christmas decor in my shop:) http://www.etsy.com/shop/smidgehouse Happy Holidays, everyone!

I love the blue tree too! - such personality. Now I wish I could find a tree like that on etsy...

Add some of my japanese temari thread balls to your tree and you will have one unique and stunning tree!! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35828482 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33358668

I would put that tree as a main tree in my house, so extraordinary!

ooooo! pretty tree!

Here's a picture and mini tutorial on how I made a wreath from scrap fabric and decorated my holiday mantle for free! http://lindsaybrackeen.blogspot.com/2009/12/holiday-mantle.html I also have several diy christmas crafts and free downloadable gifts tags posted on my blog :)

WOW! Amazing pictures! So inspiring! *running off to take pics*

Every year I think I'll do up some amazingly creative tree that expresses my true inner self... then suddenly, it's mid-December, Christmas has snuck up on me again, and in between frantically baking and knitting, I toss up a tree, drape it with lights, and cover it with all the home-made ornaments from when my brothers and I were little... and it always ends up Just Right. I suppose, in the end, it DOES express me pretty well...

No tree this year. New kitty decided to take up residence in it so we had to take it down for fear he would hurt himself. I'll just have to enjoy all of your lovely trees. Thanks for sharing them!!

my tree is packed with woodland creatures, as is the rest of my living room. we opted for a natural tree this year so we could have the wonderful smell fill the house. i made some ornaments to match the theme. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3062285&l=8c5e43b5ab&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3061635&l=2738fdd432&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3062287&l=a8f40a6213&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3062288&l=bf27353c6a&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3049675&l=47e7cd721b&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3048508&l=113bcf1033&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3067143&l=2e23d79a58&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3061627&l=a33aeb3e3b&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3061630&l=b70624e3fb&id=723083742 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3067143&l=2e23d79a58&id=723083742 and the year before that we had this crazy prink tree! <3 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3067073&l=81b007bce3&id=723083742

I travel a lot, so I needed light and compact stuff. I love decorating for Christmas, but don't have time for much this year. These ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) are perfect!

So much fun seeing everyone's Christmas trees! Most of the ornaments on our tree are ones that my Grandmother made when I was a kid. Every year she would make a new ornament for my sister and I, and attach them to the outside of our presents. Having all of these ornaments on our tree always fills me with warm memories of Christmas from my childhood. :) I'll try to take some pics soon!

Here's a link to mine! http://www.flickr.com/photos/artgoodieshome/sets/72157610652533253/

Yay :3 this will motivate me to take a picture of it, lol!

I have some gift ornaments... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34614748 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34619588

I have a black Christmas tree. Unfortunately it's in storage this year as we will only be in Iowa until March, but my best friend in Michigan bought it for us last year when our old tree was riddled with mouse leavings. It's funny, because I have a pentagram star for the topper and it hangs inverted due to its weight, so we have dubbed it our "satanic" tree as a joke! http://www.viewbug.com/photo/147225

Some people have asked for info on how to get the same blue tree in the photo so I called the store to see if they still have any. She said they don't have that exact tree but they have some that are about 24" tall in turquoise and green and some hot pink ones. Here's their phone number 325-692-7239. The name of the store is "It's About Time" and it's in Abilene, Texas... they are not online yet. Hope this helps!

I love the blue tree! Mine is still sitting in the front room waiting to be trimmed. I usually have it done by now, but I have been too busy filling my etsy jewelry orders. A luxury problem for sure!!!!

I love the blue tree. We do the traditional tree, sort of. I've been collecting unique, special ornaments for 30 years or more, many from Europe, so I have literally Hundreds of them. Our main tree is an old scrawny 4 footer on a rotating stand, that when I get all the ornaments on, It looks Beautiful. I used to put up 3 or 4 extra theme trees too. Hearts, Angels, Santas, Victorian etc. But this year I just put the big? tree up and used only 2 of the 5 big plastic storage boxes of decorations. Maybe next year I'll start sooner (and Bob won't spend a week in the hospital at decorating time). Christmas is my favorite holiday season. Happy Holidays Everyone ... Peace and Love ... Jill and Bob.

My handmade nativity scene! http://www.flickr.com/photos/passionarte

Here in Peru we create a Nativity Scene, it's more important to us than the tree. On Christmas Eve after going to the Church at midnight we place the Baby Jesus figure in the Nativity Scene, the kids open the presents and we have a Christmas Dinner and paneton and hot chocolate This is a Christmas Celebration on my house for poor children who live near our home, my cousins made the show, my uncle was the Snow Man, my mom and aunts prepared the hot chocolate, we all helped, even the kids. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40751260@N02/sets/72157623038748672/

We have a handmade willow scuplture that we use every year. The willow branches come from trees that deers don`t eat, so no wildlife was harmed during the making of our Yule Tree, and each year we place fresh boughs and decorations on it to help it look festive! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=1292716&id=592432996
