Oh, Christmas Tree!

I worked hard to get the x-mas decorations up today. My blood pressure is through the damn roof. Oy vey.

Anyway... Here's our tree as always:

I decided not to use tinsel this year and just stick to the usual ornaments. Those fairy lights you see are actually very old. My great grandfather owned them, passed them down to my grandmother who passed them to my mother, who passed them to me. Haha. Some bulbs are dud and it's a fire hazard due to how hot the old bulbs get, but they are still working great and I prefer them to new LED shit.

Oh and yes. You saw right. That IS Bahamut as our tree topper.

It's a tradition to have him on there.

The decorations you see other than the baubles are birds. We have one for each bird we have ever had. I miss the lil buggers. :C

[Update]

We traveled to the next town over to buy a new tree yesterday. It's dark teal and we bought a mix of silver, light teal and midnight blue decorations for it. I also have my octopus that I bought from my friend Chihuahua Yip two Christmasses ago as a topper.

This one is in the 'Blue Room'. Also known as the 'Bird Room' where our birdies live.
