@cjm61 very pretty! I have a customer that keeps a Christmas tree up year round with various seasonal decorations. Yours is much prettier!  Well done!

I think that tree looks wonderful @cjm61 .  I see no reason to miss out on using a tree more than one holiday season.  Works for me.  I actually leave up my twig style tree that has the LED stems in a corner of the great room.  And I turn on the lights when ever I want to see them.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

@cjm61 Your tree is beautiful!  I love the autumn decor on it!!  Very nicely done!

 

My sister in law has a tree in a small room off of their foyer.   It used to be a library/office but they put a large addition on their home more than twenty years ago which has a large office.  So now this room is just filled with collectibles with the tree in the middle. 

 

It stays up all year and she just changes out the decor according the the season/holiday.

@cjm61 - Your special tree! What a reflection of your talent! It's just beautiful! 

 

For me, the word "thankful" just adds the cherry on top!  Smiley Happy

 

 

 

Like @haddon9 and others, I too have a sister-in-law who kept a year round decorated tree up for many years. She changed the decorations each month. We always used to go up every July 4th. It was fun to go to the annual craft show in the park downtown and other craft stores and pick out decorations with her. 

 

 

One year she decided she was done. She took the tree and all of her decorations to her small church.

@ChiliPepper Thank you. Actually, most came from Michael's. There are a few things I already had. Michael's was having a big sale + 25% off on your entire purchase. So, I purchased. Woman Very Happy

@Spacrazy Thank you. I actually spent a couple hours online with Michael's trying to decide what all to purchase. I spent more time trying to decide what to order than actually decorating. Once I picked up my order it only took about an hour. 

 

The tree is a Bethlehem Lights from QVC.

Thanks for inspiring me @cjm61 !  I'm in charge of the decor for a regional meeting in Philly in October.  I knew I was doing a fall theme, but your tree gave me a great idea for a photo backdrop.  I probably won't bring an actual tree, but an arch with those elements could be fantastic too.  Michaels here I come.  🧡
