Chaska, MinnesotaChloe: I love your trees, especially the one in the planter. So cute with all those lovely bears!
Dolls N DreamsHi Michelle, that is a cute tree and I love your cute babies under it 
Country BearsOooooh Chloe, they're wonderful :hug: And that's a Bear of Grace I can see!! 
Are both trees real? I LOVE real trees but I had one the year before last and it didn't last until Christmas and I've been banned from having another because of the mess - you just can't beat that smell though, I'll have to buy a oil burner scent to make it seem real!! I had cinnamon scent burning earlier, yummy!!! My dad's just driven me home (My hubster and son have gone to the British rally and taken my car!!) and it is wonderful to see the start of the decorations and lights going up - ooooooh I love Christmas....... 
dusty attic bearsThanks Clare, I love christmas too, I do hope my trees last untill then, I;ll have to make sure I give them lots of water.And yes that is a bears of grace, I love them I have 2. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Country BearsOh Chloe now that's not fair, I only have one!! Her name is Ruby Tuesday - Jo and Mick (Bears of Grace) are just so lovely, Jo is an absolute scream in fact, she cracks me up every time I see her!! :crackup: :crackup:
Is that a dolls house or a gingerbread house in the background there? :hug:
dusty attic bearsIts a Gingerbread house for t lights to go inside.my whole house is full of bits and bobs,if its not pretty or useful then it does'nt come in. i have no room left, but i still manage to find space for bears. :crackup: :crackup:

Chaska, MinnesotaLisa wrote: Wow! That's fabulous Jodi. It sure wouldn't stay like that at our house (my girls would have grabbed all of those "babies" and ran)! Plus, I banished the coffee table to the basement when the girls were learning to walk!
Lisa: I have something simular to you but in stead of children, I have three sneaky cats...Right now I have rescued a mini minky three times from a little kitty mouth this weekend....
Jodi: I love your bear arrangement. Beautiful bears...
Michelle
Here's our tree:
We put it up this weekend - much earlier than usual but I just couldn't wait!! You guys have got me in the christmas mood already this year!
Bears by Jodi
Swan Valley BearsBeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuutiful trees, everyone. I finally got my house decorated. 
Jellybelly BearsJodi, I love your display and Patty...I wish I had a fireplace! I don't have Chrissie stockings, they look lovely hanging there
Cleathero CreationsMy girls decorate the tree!
They put their handmade items on it (and mine ) and also leave their letters for Santa and their gifts for him. The letters disappear magically to go to the north pole!
I also decorate the ceiling
Sorry for the angle. Due to the height of our ceilings I can't get under and show how nice it really looks. The baubles are glass and each year I add a little more.
Normally we decorate outside too but due to goings on it may be missed this year.
Sunnie BearsI finally got the tree up. It took me two days to get it done. I had to leave the lights off to photograph it. The lights made it glare too much. I will post more pictures when I get the stairs done and hopefully I will have time to do the outside lights. Sheesh, I haven't even shopped for one gift yet!
might recognize some of those bears
Sonya
Patsy Lake BearsI managed to get the tree up yesterday and it took me all day to do it. My back is paying for it today but I am glad it is done now and it is starting to feel like Christmas.
Pumpkin & Pickle BearsWow, everyone's tree's look great! Sonya, your 'bear tree' is simply stunning!
Here are a few pictures of mine....James putting the angel on top of the tree....it's a fibre optic tree.....it's also not standing 'wonky' like it looks in the pictures! You can see a track at the bottom of our tree - we have a train that goes on it...a working one with smoke and noise - James LOVES it!
I had to show off the stockings I made for my son's last year...they took SO long to do....James' one had over 125 pieces that were hand stitched...you may be able to see that both have lots of sequins on them too.
Bears by Jodi Swan Valley BearsSonya, I LOVE your teddy bear tree and Gemma, those stockings are great. Your kids will cherish them, I'm sure.
I love looking at everyone's trees. We're going to get our tree tomorrow. I also have a separate, fake teddy bear tree. We just moved this weekend so we're a little later than normal.
Wild Thyme Originals
Well.... mine is IN the house and I've got the lights almost half on! MUCH smaller tree this year!!!!!! Daphne, I HAVE to search back through the archives and find that song you made up about my Christmas tree last year! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: We opted for a VERY skinny tree this year and a good three feet shorter than the last one. I HOPE we get it decorated soon!
Kim Basta
Ohhh... Daphne... I just found the song you wrote ....
"A Song for you Kim -
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Please forgive my Husband!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Practical he wasn't!
My, oh my, how tall your branches go
What was he thinking? I don't know!
The gesture kind and now you're mine.
We'll just pretend that all is fine!"
Here's LAST year's tree, sans ornaments...
Posts: 3,540:crackup: Oh Kim, I'm in tears of laughter!!! :crackup:
