Christmas decorations and flowers added cheer to the house today as we decorated one of our bonsais and hung garlands, birds, butterflies and insects above the mirror in the dance room. I was trying to remember if we’d ever had a traditional Christmas tree in the 29 and a half years we’ve been married — I don’t think we’ve ever had a large, cut tree. We decorated a ficus that started out about six feet tall with a skirted trunk and gangly, ball-like crown that we most likely purchased from Home Base for many years. Then we got a pot of 5 small Norfolk Pines, probably from Home Base again, that served as our Christmas tree for many years until it got so big we had to give it away. There were a couple of years we’ve had those little, dwarf pines that come pre-decorated. Those are the closest to “traditional” Christmas trees that we’ve had. Over the past six or seven years we’ve been decorating one of our bonsais, with this large, gnarly ficus being the victim most often because of its size and where it stands.
Merry Christmas to the Price Family!
And to you! Have you done any decorating?
Well, if you call hanging a wreath on the door “decorating,” then Yes. Otherwise, not yet.
I like your decorated bonsai. Leave it to the Prices to be creative with their Christmas tree!
-Is that a … pheasant feather in the birds tail 😉 ??
-Timothy, pse rearrange the keyboard and monitor so that they are in one line, other wise you will get neck problems looking forward for keyboard and sideways for monitor 🙂
-the bar looks interesting 🙂
Never a dull moment for Christmastime; we haven’t done too much yet. It will start to get very busy pretty soon. Better get busy here. Thanks for the “heads up”.
What a beautiful Xmas tree–love the bird decorations!
This is so freakin cool! WOW…I love it, Timothy!
Thanks, Eleanor. We are not very traditional.
Hey, to each their own. I think it’s super cool!
The bonsai is a really cool tree.
