{Max's tree}We bought this huge tree last year to fill up the space in our room with the 24-ft ceiling. It was my Christmas present last year (I fell in love with this tree), and will probably be my Christmas present until I'm 45 yrs old. I don't really have it decorated because I love the way it looks, with the snow and little pinecones on the branches.
I snapped a bunch of photos of corners around the house. Here's the mantle.
This is the balcony above the big tree; the glittery letters say "Winter Dream."
This is on my kitchen island. I'm a sucker for ornaments in a glass jar.
The tree we've had for four years is my beloved Candy Tree. After seven years of marriage, we decided to upgrade from the 3-ft tree we'd always had. We'd never had a regular-sized tree because the kids were just little and we seemed to end up every year at my parents' house for the entire week of Christmas, so why not just

Your candy tree is making me think I need to eat some Taffy for breakfast. What a fun tree.
Your giant one is amazing- I'm sure it lights up the whole room.

Thanks for sharing!!
your tree is very impressive and really beautiful. you have got to stop posting stuff like this, you are making the rest of us look really bad!
Linds - Oh please. You should see how messy my house is; truly reisty. Should I take a picture of THAT & post it???
Your home is beautiful! Love the candy tree. I did a kitchen tree myself this year...it's decorated with gingerbread, candycanes, popcorn strings and cookie cutters. Just makes me happy to look at it...while I am cooking and cleaning all day!
I love the Winter Dream garlandy thingie. And the baubles in the glass. We haven't put ANY decorations up yet, so this is making me want to start!
Loving all of the festive decor-especially the fun candy tree and the balcony!
I can't wait to try your gingerbread men!
I also love ornaments in glass jars but haven't dared tried it yet with my boys in the home and footballs flying....but after seeing yours I might just have to give in. Besides your amazing tree I love your WINTER DREAMS! Perfecto!
Your kids are so lucky to have you as their mother - homemade gingerbread cookies and being able to frost them - okay the pressure is on.
Great pix! Your decor is beautiful!
