[QUOTE=Renee] We donā€™t have room for a tree here, so I did a [Christmas tree painting](http://picasaweb.google.com/raenjapan/Okinwa/photo#5142968385546063314). You canā€™t really tell in the photo, but the trunks are silver and thereā€™s some silver paint mixed in generally. Looks better in person. We also have [christmas kittens,](http://picasaweb.google.com/raenjapan/Okinwa/photo#5142968548754820578) which arenā€™t technically decorations, but within the spirit of the tread, I think, and [this, whatever youā€™d call it.](http://picasaweb.google.com/raenjapan/Okinwa/photo#5142968643244101106) Merry Christmas, everyone!

I have a little 12" fake desk tree with garland made out of colorful lab supplies. My friend insists on buying me decorative balls to hang on it every year, that are way too big for that size tree, and in fact each year get bigger, and are now bigger than the tree itself. ---
