I was raised in a household where every year, the tree was a different theme. One year, it was Disney. Another year it was Snowmen. Then, angels, Santa...the list goes on.

This is the first year I have decorated a tree of my own and I guess, technically I have a theme. It's red & white (for SAI) and pigs (because I love them). There are also some random music notes (also for SAI) and a few random angels.

I like to call it--SAI Pigs--Feel the Oink-hood.

Sort of a tangent of MysticCat's tree, my roomie's kids are the only grandchildren on both sides. Rather than compete on the toys, I've bought each of them a special ornament each year. Roomie is very worried about what she'll do when they grow up and move out!

At my house, I have a completely feminine tree, something I could do when I was divorced. It's green, but the ornaments & beads are all pink, white, gold, or clear. I put sprays of flowers to fill the "holes". I then sprinkle "snow" over it, to soften the green.

At my mother's, this year's tree is a weird combination: our annual White House ornament collection and Bichon Frises! So, it's also somewhat gold and white!

Growing up, we had a white tree, and every year, it had a different theme - red, green, blue, and purple stand out. We also had a small real tree, with the sentimental ornaments on it. Yes, lots of needlework or other handmade ornaments!


ETA: forgot about the flowers!
