  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

^ Nope, I've had the same tree for years. :) It's a fake tree. Though I wish, for once, we could have a real one with pine needles. Those were awesome. :(
We have one of those small fiber optic tree. Really pretty. :)

We had a real tree one year but it really messed with my asthma so we havent had one sense. :(

We always get a real tree for Christmas. I would only resort to a fake one if there was no way I could get a real one, but I could never get a colored tree. I'm way too traditional in my decorating. Everything has to be classy. Only white lights and that kind of thing.

I always go down to parents' for Christmas and New Years and celebrate it with them, so my apartment is not overly decorated since I won't be here for the actual holiday. So this is what it looks like at my place right now:

And this is what it will look like at my parents' when I go down there on Wednesday to start decorating:

Rhovanian, your parents place is beautiful. So cozy looking.
Yeah, I love my parents' house and it's extra wonderful during Christmas. I do most of the decorating there each Christmas, so I'll take some credit for its coziness. Thank you. :D

You're quite welcome! :D Take more pics when you're there this Christmas? :D :satisfied:
Oh I definitely will. I always drive everybody crazy each year because I want to take so many pictures. We light a gazillion candles for Christmas dinner and everybody has to stand back and wait to start eating until I have taken a picture from every possible angle. :D

I promised I'd come back and share some more pictures. I haven't taken that many yet, but here are a couple of ones:

It was the fourth of advent today (the 23rd) so we lit the fourth candle:

Wrapping gifts. I always use red sealing wax for my gifts:

The tree. We usually get a really big one, but they were out of them this year so unfortunately it's a tiny one. But it's still nice looking:

The bird is 50-60 years old and the mushroom is from last year:

More ornaments (yeah that's a leprechaun in the background):

Rhovanion, Oh so much beauty to comment on! First I LOVE the sealing wax idea, I may have to steal that idea. :satisfied: It really goes with the wrapping paper. It all goes with that era if that makes sense. :) The Christmas tree looks gorgeous and I love all the ornaments! Even the leprechaun. :D Thank you for posting them all! :hug:

Melissa, I saw the video of Luther opening his gift, he did a great job! Lol He looked so happy. :D

Caitlin and Austin, Yay for snow! :clap: The picture of you guys and Wally look so cute. :D
