My favorite was the year that we were transferred to Germany, and of course, Christmas got there before all of our household goods. We spent the weeks leading up to it making ornaments out of construction paper, construction paper chains, etc.

It's the Christmas I remember most, after all the years.

Love the Chewbacca ornament.

And Rudolph. My Father in Law made the frame for this over 45 years ago and it had the old style white glass lights on it. After he passed away I rebuilt it with rope lighting and surprised my wife with it. It aint Christmas without my Father in Laws Rudolph!

Your trees all look great! I love seeing how different families decorate their trees and everyone's family traditions.

If there is such a thing :chuckle: I don't think I need to post pictures of the fake tree. Every year we buy or make a glass bulb for the tree. There is s shot not to far away where you can make your own bulb. It's always fun. Some years if there is a great looking bulb already done we just grab it :chuckle:
