man, our tree is fucking awesome. i hate traditional trees. ours is covered in random wooden ornaments, things i made as a kid, cookies, metal tinsel, lots of moose, watermelons and a ton of other random stuff. it looks absolutely spectacular and surprisingly non-tacky when all put together.
i dislike the vast majority of xmas trees but ours rules. so does my grandmothers: all modern glass and metal, thanks to my architecht grandfather.
