^ Oooh I love the reindeer! I have similar ones in gold!

These are not "my" trees. But I made a trip to Singapore in November last year to go "Christmas tree hunting" and am sharing them here.

I took mine down last Sunday :sad elf:

I had a bad start to the year after that ... lots of bad stuff happening including crashing my car 3 days ago. Makes everything seens even more depressing....

Actually, it's a little hard to be inspired when the Christmas decorations are barely out yet in the malls. :elf2: But I'll be heading down south to Singapore in less than 2 weeks and I hear the...

I done about half of mine too! I always finish with the gifts for my girlfriends and mom and sis first. Girls are so much easier to shop for! I'll have to put on my thinking cap and see what to get...

I got him video games that I know he wants so that's sorted out! :gelf:

Perhaps you can consider making stews. One of the dishes I always make is a gigantic pot of lamb stew on 23rd and we (family of four and all pretty small eaters) have that for Christmas eve dinner....

The Lunar/Chinese New Year is a major celebration here and is usually in January or February (this year, it will be at the end of January). I know some people who remove all the Christmas decorations...

Haha! I was wondering about how long it would that you to take everything down Crazymike! :dizzy:

I think I will take my tree down this weekend. Seeing it in my living room now is a reminder that...

Here comes to difficult part after all the buzz and hype of the best time of the year :sad elf: ...

So when do you guys take your trees down? Mine is still up and I still leave the lights on. I...

Over here, if you drive through the streets where the revellers are, there's a high risk that your car will be sprayed with fake snow and the party people will kick and shake your car. I honestly...

It's already Boxing Day where I am. Can't believe Christmas came and went in a flash :sad elf:

My friend's reading list seems very confined (only to Christian books, I think) :dizzy: She's more um .... "male" in the sense that she likes...

I bought perfume for myself :presents2:

and also a new pair glasses and contact lenses (only because I really needed to) :santahat:

I've done about 2/3 of my shopping... I think..

I got dad two polo tees, a blouse for mum, a pair of dockers for my brother and a bobbi brown travel make up brush set for my sister. Only the one...

Two years ago, I "lost" my glass angel (it was a gift from someone and dear to me) and was very upset about it. I keep all my decorations in two large boxes and I know that she can't be stashed away...

Crazymike,

Your trees are absolute masterpieces!
