In fact, it's lopsided, and people like to comment on how sparsely placed the branches are (much better to jam the thing up with ornaments, though, you know), but I like to think it has a certain charm about it.(IN)DECOROUS TASTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530203128806251142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-55382345721881984172009-12-08T14:57:43.152-05:002009-12-08T14:57:43.152-05:00Until now, I've been a lurker but your tree is...Until now, I've been a lurker but your tree is so evocative, so tender that I wanted to thank you for sharing. Widowed in 2008 after 50 years of marriage, I tried a stylized tree last year and hated it. So once again I'll pull out the doll that held a strand of pearls on our 1958 Christmas tree and the 2 surviving German balls that my mother in law's mother purchased just before WW 1 began because she feared that beautiful German things would be lost to us forever.<br /><br />Cheers.belladogiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724176066255594042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-42681918116735396652009-12-08T14:19:53.898-05:002009-12-08T14:19:53.898-05:00Well, this year my furniture alll had to be hauled...Well, this year my furniture alll had to be hauled away due to a flood coming over to my townhouse from the next door neighbor's wall (pipe with pinhole leak, long story) so I can't have a tree but seeing your magnificently bedecked extravanganza is just so heartwarming and fabulous tht I shall not miss having one thus one year!

My daughter (A Caged Bird Sings) wrote in her recent post 'never buy a christmas tree in the dark', how I might criticize it for being vulgar! I confess I do that designer thing and my inner style fascist always disappointed the kids who wanted their own choice. How rotten is that. By the way, I long for those old fat lights. But they drove everyone mad by dying individually and closing down the whole display.Rose C'est La Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193872186283731567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-12513862634677838712009-12-07T17:55:27.432-05:002009-12-07T17:55:27.432-05:00I can't get past the Clarence House fabric...o...I can't get past the Clarence House fabric...one of my favorites!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171054999389018364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-75178815792561130842009-12-07T13:44:55.541-05:002009-12-07T13:44:55.541-05:00Oh Christmas tree is right- that is loaded.

Love how you went beyond the hilt, as it were. Ours, with roots, is on the terrace, acclimatizing after a few days in the over-heated store we ordered it from - they potted it a week early. It will be brought in again for a party on Saturday. Underdecorated, I'm afraid, but will satisfy us this year. Will post pictures after the weekend. Normally, I would not put up a tree until Christmas Eve just before friends arrive for dinner (I grew up with Christmas beginning on the 25th and lasting 12 days thereafter) but this year is different.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-15325236332034393832009-12-07T06:12:22.232-05:002009-12-07T06:12:22.232-05:00I have followed your blog for a long time and neve...I have followed your blog for a long time and never commented. The time has come.<br /><br />Firstly, brilliant posts, consistently. A very tall order indeed.<br /><br />Secondly, privileged to partake in the random musings of a true polymath.<br /><br />Finally, adored the mad, chaotic, heavenly, lovingly adorned Christmas tree. No carefully colour co-ordinated decoration from you. Oh No. Unabashed joy, love, and indeed abandon.<br /><br />One of the best reads going.

This year is very special as it will be the first one in my children's lives when thier Dad is with them - he has been deployed for the past three years worth... it is very moving but still misty. It's very much with him that he has missed moments like this with them but he has many memories to make.<br /><br />So, so, beautifully done.

I do this every night at sunset to honor the light and the darkness and I do this until the first day of spring when, for me, the light turns right again. Letting go of things that mean nothing to me, to greet things that mean deeply to me was quite simple, really.
