mdrs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nothing like young kids at Christmas time. My youngest is 15. So, about as romantic as Christmas gets is a "wish list" from Musician's Friend e mailed to me!!! LOL I still love the spirit of Christmas. Time to get back in touch with the people and things that make you happy. And, if you play your cards right, you might just be able to make a couple of others happy too........ I HOPE to have our tree up this Sunday. My wife has announced that she wants a LARGE tree this year. So, I'm in for it!!! Craig.....I wish I could send you a REAL TREE from my farm; http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/IMG_0655.jpg Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

A String Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Craig.....I wish I could send you a REAL TREE from my farm; http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/IMG_0655.jpg Beautiful trees! Are they the ones with the soft needles or the ones with the needles that get stuck in your carpet and then you are finding them in July? I love having a real tree, but the building owner here won't allow it. Hopefully, I will be moved out of here before next Christmas. Hey Fumbly, it does look like we have the same wall colour!

The Big G Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hey Don Can i have the one 6 in from the left and 3 rows back please..... Thats a beutiful place to live.. We dont use the real tree thing even though we think they are much nicer but the fake tree will have to do (a decent copy so it looks ok I will see if i can get a pic etc but my photo bucket is playing up!!!!!! aaagghhh) G Love life, some twists and turns are more painful than others, but love life..... http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=592101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Those trees are Douglas Fir, Craig. They aren't the really hard needle trees (those are Spruce, usually Norwegian or Blue), nor are they the really soft needled ones, the White Pine. They smell great!!

A String Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 They smell great!! That's what I miss the most about a real tree. Fake trees just smell like plastic and dust. Not very Christmasy.

fantasticsound Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks, Craig! That pic is a few years old but we used the Guitarist Chanukiah this year. (Don't sweat the spelling... I've seen Chanukah spelled about 15 different ways translated to phonetic English and I have no idea if any one of them is considered "correct". I use the "Ch" to indicate the gutteral sound of the hebrew letter that doesn't exist in English. ) It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

mdrs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hey Neil....my Menorah is proudly displayed in the same room as our Christmas tree. No, we're not confused!!! LOL Being half Catholic, and half Jewish, I honor both traditions. In fact, I really wanted to name my Christmas Tree Farm "Harry's Hanukkah Bush Farm" (in honor of my Dad, Harold) But, I feared that the locals might not appreciate the intended humor!! Those ceramic menorahs are beautiful!! Here are some more trees to pick from; http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/IMG_0613.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/CIMG0639.jpg Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

mdrs Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 They smell great!! That's what I miss the most about a real tree. Fake trees just smell like plastic and dust. Not very Christmasy. Try to find one of those scent diffusers, where you can put scented oil in a open bottle, and put little reeds or porous sticks into the oil. They wick the scented oil, diffusing the scent into the air. They have great pine or balsam scented oils. These diffusers make great gifts. http://www.reeddiffusers.org/ Don "There once was a note, Pure and Easy.

fantasticsound Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Why a bigger barn? I mixed an event at Michael W. Smith's horse barn around Christmas 11 years ago and there was plenty of room.

mdrs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I've got as far as putting the tree up in the stand. I bought THE BEST christmas tree stand this year. I wish I'd bought this years ago!! The thing is amazing. Google "bowling's last stand" and the ir web site should come up. They come in different sizes. We typically have a big tree....this year it's a bit smaller than usual, at just about 9 1/2 feet tall. I don't have any relationship with this company. I just KNOW that this stand (I got the 12" diameter on) is great, solid, and could save you from many many Christmas Tree related disasters!!! LOL Yea, that does say "Got Jorma" on the black sticker on the driver side rear window ) http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/CIMG1380.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/CIMG1386.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/mdrs1/CIMG1388.jpg More pics as we dicorate.
