Thought it might be a nice idea to share your Christmas/Hanukkah, or whatever you happen to celebrate at this time of year, with fellow TIGers.
So put your crimbo tree pics up here guys so we can see how Christmas is celebrated around the world      

Here's a few of mine to get the ball rolling

Very nice looking tree there bud along with the rest it looks very festive and hey cookies:) For us we dont normally decorate the house we just put up a tree, well it took me awhile to do it this year in all honesty with all that happened in the last little while I really wasn't in the Christmas mood, But we decided with all we been through we were going to put up a tree and enjoy just being with each other as my wife is the best gift any man could ask for.
 
So here is our tree of course there has to be some star wars in it lol
 

 
Just so you can see the closeup detail this is one forcefull angel

 
And of course no tree would be complete without a sith lord there is also a Y-wing just to the left:)

That is a great idea for a thread, Chris.   

I will move it in the main thread, so more members can see it and contribute.

gingerbread r2-d2 made by me =)

Christmas at the General's house is riddled with festive cheer   

Great Thread Chris   

I love seeing everyone's Christmas pics    

My wife tried to get some pics this weekend but was having a lot of trouble with her camera   

here's what she managed to get ...

our regular tree ...



this next tree was Julie's mothers and I have been decorating it since her mother passed . It is a vintage aluminum tree that is somewhere between 40 to 50 years old ...



Charlie Brown Tree...



This next tree we just bought this year for the bedroom . Julie collects coke stuff and was building up so many coke ornaments on our regular tree that we decided she needed a special coke only tree  




I will still try to get some better pics of our holiday to post later  

Some fantastic trees guys    

@ Larry- great tree bud and alovely sentiment for wifey, what more do you need when you've got each other   

@ Alex- hee hee fantastic tree, Beard, I love the skull fairy and the rat and eyeball decs, its very you bud and you make a great 'bad santa'   

@ James- I knew you'd have an impressive array of trees, following our previous chat, and you didn't disapoint bud   its a lovely idea decorating your mother in laws tree every year, its a really nice way to keep loved ones, now passed, close to you.

The coke tree is awesome too, but I think my favourite is the charlie brown tree   

@ yeah- sus - very nice r2 cookie Krille, puts mine to shame  

Keep em coming guys  

Great pics everyone.
Merry Christmas.

Umm..... how do I get the orange Stormy?!?! You know why I'd LOVE to have him (Oklahoma State alum/MASSIVE fan!!!) Awesome.

Here was the Austin household this morning before the presents were dove into

Hi Ryan - just so happens I'm a OSU fan too    The only sport I follow is Football but I have been a OSU fan since I went and saw Barry Sanders play a couple of games when I was a teenager     Records be damned , he is still the best pure running back to ever play the game in my personal opinion     (I also had 2 nephews that graduated from OSU in the last few years)

That Stormy in the pic is actually red , I guess the flash made him look a bit more orange  :scratch: 

here is a pic I posted in the customs thread ...


I could easily do a OSU orange one for you though if you want one . Unfortunately I am out of beater Stormies to customize so it may take a little while before I come across one . Just PM me if you want to talk more about it  

Some more great pics of your festive homes guys   I'm really enjoying this thread, thanks for sharing your pics with us.

@ Paul- I had a very impatient 5 yr old boy waiting yesterday   

Nowhere near as nice as most of you guys, but here is my meager tree with a few SW ornaments...






cheers

I could do one that is orange, I have a beater somewhere. Yes! Another fellow Poke I'm such a massive fan, I'm a 3rd generation Oklahoma State alum and my first REAL full memories was Berry Sanders when I was 13 so we must be close in age. I'm heading to Dallas next week for the Cotton Bowl

Yeah, he looks OSU orange in that one pic! Funny...

There are some fantastic photos in here, it's great to see so many different arrangements.

Great Stockings, Jesse!!!!

And now I have to find out more about those Wizard of Oz nutcrackers for my mother. She'd love those!!!

Great Stuff!

MXM!

wow nice place you've got there Jesse, the tree looks awesome and like Jay, I love the SW display with the Stockings   thanks for sharing your pics bud  

I completely forgot about this....
Since there isn't a straight "what SW I got for XMas" thread, I figured this would be as good of place as any....... (I hope)...........

But here is something straight out of my childhood my dad would always make for me around the holidays (my birthday is in Dec too).

He made this for me as a kid all the time with much more detail but this year, 30+  years after the last one I ever got, he whipped one up and asked me if I remember them as a kid and hell yeah I did!

"Wrapping-Saber" - made from the wrapping paper tubes... gotta love my pops!





This one is really shotty since the 'original' ones were pretty detailed but it was the thought that counted!

anyway..........

cheers!

 what  a great idea for re-cycling an old wrapping paper tube   my boy would love one of those. A lovely bit of nostalgia from your dad too, thanks for sharing Jay.

Sorry for the late post.

We went light on the interior christmas decorations this year because of our new 2 cats (approx. 4 and 8 months old).  They actually toppled the christmas tree before I could get some pictures.  I actually went light on the exterior lighting this year as well.  The roofers are coming to re-shingle the roof next week, so I didn't want the decorations to get in their way.



Christmas up at my mothers farm.  Where I grew up.  The farm been in the family since 1872, when the family immigrated from England.  The ice from the freezing rain storm is about 12 mm (1/2") thick on most of the roofs, and trees.  The one picture shows some of the typical damage to the trees in the area.  Then we went sledding with the kids, at the hill by the river.  We planted the pine trees in 1987 as part of our effort to re forest the river bank

I hope this works right.  I don't post pics very often, but James suggested I post some pics of my new Christmas deco in the yard.  I added some homemade lighted lightsabers crossing over the window after these were taken.  All of these pics are taken at night, but my flash was on.  the inflatables have lights in them that glow pretty decent on their own.

Those pics are great Bryan, thanks for posting them. I've not seen inflatable light up Star Wars Xmas characters before

Super Cool Bryan - love seeing your Star Wars blow up figures


Thank you for bumping this great thread


Hopefully we will get to see some other members holiday décor as well

We don't go quite as all out as we do for Halloween but here is some of our Christmas  

Outside House :





As you enter our front door :















I'll show more of our around the house stuff and my wife's Coke Tree a little later
