Over the years trees have included: real ones, fake green, one of those aluminium ones and one year when my dad was away sick in the hospital we put lights and decorations on my mom's plant stand.
Have used a wide variety of decorations homemade and store bought.

This year is the first year of using the pre-lit fiber optic 6ft. tree. We have kiddo's ornaments and Boog's childhood ornaments on it and a santa on the top cause the angel didn't fit. I just relized I don't have any childhood ornaments.

Have done color themes in the past but if I had all the trees up I would want at the same time I would need one in every room, and maybe more rooms.
