Someone Stole My Christmas Tree

Dont go telling lies. We offered to set it up and annoyed you about it but you said no cause of grandpa. If you want the boys would be more than happy to set one up on Saturday with ya. While me and mom are shopping of course hehehehe.

Amazing Grandpa Gob from what I can gather you have all had a lot to contend with this year - no wonder you have no tree up! Our tree has only been up about 5 days - which is way behind schedule in our house - in fact the outside lights have only been up and on for 3 nights! I think the kids would object vociferously if we went a year without a tree - the only way I could see that happening is if they got so many decorations and ornaments that we couldn't fit a tree in! xxx

I asked not to have a Christmas tree this year but there was no having it. Even my Jewish born husband/boyfriend wanted the tree and outside lights. I just wasn't feeling 'Christmasy' this year. I am much better now, but not like my usual 'jolly elf' self. (hugs)

It wasn't me! lol. I will share my tree with you so you don't have to go without one this year. How you like my red teddy bear I put on top of my tree? I couldn't find the right tree topper so I made my own. lol.

I don't have a christmas tree. I just moved into my own home and we haven't got one. Do you usually have a artificial tree, or do you get a real one? I've heard that the problems with real ones are that they shed a lot. Over here, some large shopping centres and hotels buy huge real christmas trees. I guess they have no problems clearing up the needles. And these trees are placed in air-conditioned comfort so they don't have to suffer our humid rainy climate outside.

i have your tree... if you want to see it again leave some gold, meths and frankenstein under the bin 2 blocks south of your house. tell anyone about this and the tree gets it.

We put a tree up this year. If it was up to me I wouldn't put one up because I watch kids in my home and they are always trying to mess with it. But my husband said we had to put one up for my son so we did. My son loves it but he keeps taking ornaments off of it and he has already unwrapped three gifts that are under the tree and they weren't even his. LOL

I am very late in responding to many notifications & especially my friends discussions, for which I apologise. Our Christmas tree was put up in late November. This is bout the usual time for us. It is an artificial tree, 2 metres in height with a mish mash collection of ornaments. I can perfectly understand you have way too much on your mind for not putting up your Christmas tree.

we never use real tree. always artificial, it's cheaper and easier to set up, only a small tree. I don't think we can afford new christmas tree every year, so artificial will do. we will set it up where my cat can't go, in my shop. or else she will ruin it and then hurt herself. she is getting bigger so if she ever attacks the tree she'll surely bring it down entirely, with the lights

I bought a 3' table top tree last year after Christmas to replace the 6' one that went to tree heaven. We wanted a tree but not so big a one being our living room is kinda small with all the furniture. Our cats seem to enjoy it more than we do thou. I gave up turning the lights on it cause they just unplug them anyways.

Hi Grandpa Bob! Well the hubby, daughter, and I are spending Christmas with some friends out of town so we decided not to bother with a tree! I hope you and your family have a beautiful Christmas ;) Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

I have a very tiny little tree on a table in the living room. I am not putting up the big tree because we just aren't in the Christmas mood without my husband not being here. Not to mention we are traveling to visit my parents for the holidays so it's kind of pointless to put up a big to do and not be here to enjoy it for almost two weeks. Next year when the hubby is home and we are not getting ready to move or anything we will have a big christmas!

I am not setting a tree up this year for the very first time ever. We are leaving either Thursday or Friday to go to Mississippi for the holidays. My daughter is of the age where she would be into it constantly. My husband isn't much of a "Christmas person" so he doesn't care. My parents house will be all decked out with Christmas decor, so it will be fine. Plus, I won't have to take it all down when I get home this year. I did FINALLY start wrapping presents though! haha

Maybe the thief gets all his/her Christmas shopping done in this fashion. Bummer for you, better luck next year I guess. I guess it goes to show that certain people will take anything from anybody. Hopefully that persons gets caught for something soon and thrown away behind some bars.

Last year I didn't put a tree up. It was a very bad year and I just wasn't in the mood to decorate. But this year, I promised myself that the tree would go up and it did.

Well at least you have a small one. We had a 'real' tree last year. We cut down two scrub pines that my daughter picked out and tied them together. It was a Charlie Brown tree at best. But she picked them and they were spectacular! Christmas is about love and family. I think you have enough love in your family and home that you can do without a tree and still be happy. Merry Christmas Grandpa Bob, i have missed you, but I think I am back this time for a real effort to stay around. Hope to be seeing you around!!!

This year we have a tree, my son is in the Navy and he is home for Christmas, first one since 2004. Last year we got an inflatable penguin and used that instead. Now a lot of Christmas spirit when he was not here. He flew in yesterday, due to the weather over the weekend, he flew in in uniform knowing that if there were delays or cancellations they would try harder to get him another flight. But he flew US Air and there were no delays, they saw his uniform, took away his boarding pass and issued him a first class one - their standard procedure for military traveling in uniform is to upgrade to first class if a seat is available. This was his first Christmas gift, he is 6' 2 1/2" and still growing and weights in around 240, so regular seats are a tight squeeze for him. Thanks US Air.

Nope, I didn't put up a Christmas tree either this year. I haven't done so for several years in fact. Sometimes I will put up a itty bitty one on the entertainment center, but I didn't even do that this year. I did put up a nativity that I was given this year for a Christmas gift. I did have my cousin that lives next door to me, ask if I wanted his Christmas eve, since he had already celebrated Christmas with his boys. And I thanked him for the thought, but since I also clean his house, I didn't want to have to clean the tree mess up from both his house and mine!!!!

I put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving my kids were yelling for me to put it up. Maybe your wife and daughter will get your tree up for at least Christmas Eve if not where will you put your presents? Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
