Default Christmas tree photos that deserves thread of its own!

Friend of mine is CRAZY about the trees and each year that I've known her(I've known her for 10 years), number of trees keep growing! When I moved to smaller home, I knew where my tree was going! LOL So, ONE of those trees in her home is mine! I'll never be able to tell WHICH one! You'll know what I mean after you see the photos!

Christmas Trees

This year's count is 41 trees! Yes, you heard it right! I was at her home for our girl scout meeting and took my camera with me to take pics of her trees. Obviously, I only took the pics from living areas, but I know she has more trees in each bedrooms. I've seen them during her Christmas Party/Open house. I just didn't care to take my camera when there were other guests around.

She's not rich or living in huge home by any means, just a good garage sale shopper and super organized. Many of ornaments are homemade.

Wow! I cannot imagine the time involved in putting all of those trees up and decorating them! Awesome!

That makes me tired just looking at all them knowing the work she put into them. I'm too much of a slacker and we've only had our one tree decorated for about a week. Hers are beautiful though! I really love the Nightmare Before Christmas one.

That's so hard core. My grandmother sometimes has five or six and I used to think she was crazy. We have one big one and one little one... I really want one more because we have a living room, basement, and den but hubby isn't so supportive of the idea. I will have to tell him about your friend.

My hubby would have a panic attack at even 3 trees. LOL. Gotta say those are the 'fullest' trees I've ever seen, decoration wise. Less is more in my books, but good on her for going to all the effort.

And I thought we were crazy with our 5 trees!!! Ours take us 3 days to decorate (well we do let the kids decorate most of them) and we don't even put taht much effort into them!!!

I love Christmas and I love trees but I do think you can have TOO MUCH of a good thing!!!

It's kind of mind-blowing to think these are all from the same house! What gorgeous trees!
