Here is mine. Love looking at everyone else's. Nice trees.
There are some gorgeous trees on here! Ya'll are some wonderful decorators. I think that's a great idea to have the wrapping paper match the colors and theme of the tree! Sounds like something my MIL does!
Anyway here's my tree! I had to move the remaining intact red, gold, and green balls up a bit on my tree because between my two boys, they managed to shatter four of them! I was a bit irked but it's still pretty none the less! Picture doesn't do it justice though. I made all the boughs for the tree.

I should also add that the rat is a replacement rat for the one my two year old has had since summer. My niece was visiting and we went to Ikea and she bought this $5.00 rat and it has been his favorite toy since! This is the new one. The one this is replacing looks like it's from a 4th world country! This was the first thing he saw Christmas morning. It didn't take him long to pick it out!
I'm with famousamous, no lights to strings is soo much easier! Anyway, here's my tree.
My sad little "charlie brown" tree and my favorite cake ornament!
here is mine. The one w/ the lights on is kinda blurry but oh well. I love looking at xmas trees. Tree is fake and prelit. So much easier to put up, plus living in colorado, it is so dry here it is hard to have a real tree and keep it alive until xmas. 
I decorate most of the tree except for the upper part by the santa topper, 1 because I am to short lol and 2 because hubby puts all his Philadelphia Eagles ornaments up there ( he gets a new ornament every year in his stocking)
Here is our tree - a frasir fir that we cut down (tradition) at a local tree farm. We alternate years with the "odds-n-ends" ornaments and the "coordinating" theme that I want to do. This year it was my turn! The tree looks a lot prettier in person!
Oh i forgot to mention.. some people had a lot of loot under their trees, man oh man. I will be coming to you alls house next year.LMAO
To my friend Cakemommy!!! 
Rats???? LOL Interesting choice of decorations.........
And hey, it's nice to put a face to the person!!!
Watch for a PM from me about a really big cake I just got commissioned to do! I posted about it here too.
Later girl!!!

Love this thread! I love to see everyone's trees!
Here is mine - finally gave in and went fake, pre-lighted. But with a 12' tree it would take me 1 full day for lights and 2 more for decorations, forget about the watering issue! So I miss my "real" tree, but the ease of the fake far makes up for it!
With the bow on top it comes out to around 13' now. I do mostly glass, so it is kind of a theme, I figure if my tree ever fell (again - fell 2 years ago - very lucky to only lose 2 ornaments) I'd loose over $1,200 in Radko Ornaments - I buy them off eBay or on sale, have been for over 10 years now. And of course the kids have ornaments they have made over the years - we buy a new one each year with the date and one for each kid as well. I guess I go overboard on the ornaments - that was another reason to go fake, very tough putting that many ornaments on real branches.

OMG all the trees are so fancy!! We actually debated about not putting up a tree this year because we were going to be at the inlaws for christmas - but decided we just had too! And I am glad we did. The top photo is the tree we put up at home and the bottome photo is christmas morning at the inlaws!
Thanks for this thread - I love looking at all the gorgeous trees!!
Ok I cannot figure out how to upload 2 photos in one post so here is the tree at my MIL that my kids also decorated
cakecre8tor - I love those bubble lights!! Gotta get some of those - pre-lighted tree or not!
My family all think I'm bonkers cos I am over the top in LOVE with the build up to Christmas and they don't give a damn. Think the kids got their father's genes there. I am also a mad embroiderer so a lot of the balls on my tree are hand embroidered Tamari Balls and I also have quite a few hand beaded ones as well. The elves appeared when I was in a doll making phase. A lot of work for one month of the year, but well worth it I believe.
we have 2 trees one in the house and one outside
