I finally got around to putting up my [Xmas Tree](http://s153.photobucket.com/albums/s218/vetbridge/?action=view&current=xmastree07.jpg) and wanted to share. No artificial tree for me, no way. Gotta be a live one. I’ll live with the fallen needles, it is worth it for the scent of pine.

Happy Holidays!

Ha, that cracked me up. The picture loaded from the top down, and I saw the top branch…scrolled down to see the rest of it.  
Good one!

I love it! I’ve done something similar in the past, when I was single.

Thank you. I think;). It is really my dead-on serious xmas tree, but I am happy to have brought some happiness to you.

The tree stand is typically used to do [Ikebana](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikebana) arrangements. It has a _frog_ (bunch of sharp, metal pins) that support the plant matter.

Soooo, Happy Holidays!
