If you are decorating for the season, here is a place to show your trees and under christmas sutff.



It's called New Year's Eve Tree where I live. This year, regardless of my efforts, it looks worse than the last year. I need a bigger tree and stop buying the cheap supermarket stuff I guess,lol.

Here's mine. (Vid.)

And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you\'ll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

I've got the stuff up but I find myself disliking it. Me and the fam don't agree on much anymore and it's become a matter of forcing me to put it all up

I don't have one either.  Just a Hanukkah menorah.  To celebrate the war against Gentile religious oppression.  But you have St Nicholas of Myra ... so more appropriate for you ;-)  So why do you celebrate the world tree where Odin hung himself to gain magical knowledge at the cost of one eye?

Don't do that.

Mine isn't even up yet.  It's usually up the day after Thanksgiving.  Walmart starts Christmas so early now I think we're burned out on it long before Thanksgiving arrives.  Now that it starts in early-mid October, I'm really starting to get a "fuck Christmas" attitude about it.  The commercialism was always high, but now it's to the point where Christmas means little more to me than a glutenous celebration of consumerism, which is really nothing to celebrate.
This sentence is a lie...

That's crazy, lol. Can't they just go with Halloween?

Halloween is part of the "war on Christmas"

It's American capitalism. I saw Valentine's Day stuff in the store yesterday.

Also, is Photobucket unusably slow for anyone else? I have noticed this, I can't use it at all anymore. I gave that video 5 full minutes and it never really played.

I won't kill a tree just to decorate it.  But I decorated the front-facing windows with blue lights...
