and lo! the angel said unto them
fear not! for behold i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.
'cause if you take a pair of scissors and cut your mini marshmallows in half like a hot dog bun,
you can sandwich them onto a very long string,
and thus ye shall have a completed mini marshmallow garland in under 20 minutes flat.
glory to god in the highest! and on earth peace! good will towards men!

while we are on the subject of christmas trees and light blasphemy, one of my favorite things last year was all the christmas trees we did. (i hope you liked them too!) we're doing it again cause if it ain't broke and stuff.
this year we've been doing it on instagram. you tag with the hashtag and at the end of every week, i post as many of your trees as i possibly can. it's a total party.
this is a fancy graphic i know.
in a week's time we got almost 300 trees, it was so much fun.
please keep them coming!

and let there be christmas trees!

I may need to make marshmallow garland for my kids tree, I think they would love it. Here is the post about our trees, so excited to have two this year!! http://jaymerzm.blogspot.com/2012/12/oh-christmas-tree.html
ReplyDeleteI love seeing each of these trees! Each one is beautiul! Makes me want to put up a few more in my small condo!

Trees! My favorite may just be that adorable mini table-top one in the burlap sack. I blogged about my tree decorating festivities here:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.papercrownsblog.com/blog/2012/11/christmas-tree-festivities.html
Probably too big a tree for my tiny apartment, but SO WORTH IT.
I love to see all the different styles!
ReplyDeletelove seeing all these trees! here is ours

this is such a fun post!! we tried decorating a tree... but our cats must have confused it for a mountain of CAT NIP!! and it was attacked within minutes. sooo i decorated my boyfriend instead!! here's a link!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.lovejamiedawn.blogspot.com/2012/12/and-winner-of-most-patient-boyfriend.html
Love it! I've blogged about my tree (mainly about my resentment towards my ginger-allergy-ridden fiancée who requires a shameful plastic tree...:
ReplyDeletehttp://ducklovesrooster.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/c-is-for-christmas-tree-resentment.html

The one in the burlap sack, so cute! Blogged about our first Christmas tree as married people!
ReplyDeletehttps://baileysmeetvirginia.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/the-one-with-all-of-the-lights/
Wow these trees are beautiful! Esp the ones with their kids ♥
ReplyDeleteThat marshmallow garland! I'm on it like a car bonnet.
ReplyDeleteOur two-headed tree - and a video of our battle to keep the baubles on - is here: http://makealongstoryshort.net/2012/12/03/its-name-is-sprucey/
Merry Christmas!
I think my favorite is how different each tree and each setting is.
ReplyDeleteAlso someone is clearly watching the first presidency Christmas devotional in that one picture.
I;ve been loving looking at everyone's tree on this hashtag, but it's more fun looking at them on the blog! thanks for including mine
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALL THESE TREES!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that I made the list...right next to my aunt, Courtney Snowden! How random is that?? Of over 300 trees, you chose ours to be right next to each other. White flocked candy trees must run in our family.
Merry Christmas!
I love your marshmallow garland. If I didn't have cats who ate it, I'd totally do that! Christmas trees are the best way to get in the holiday spirit! Oh, and the deets on our Christmas tree for 2012 can be seen here: http://likeordinarylife.com/post/36659659883/the-2012-byland-family-christmas-spectacular
ReplyDeleteI blogged about my tree and all of the inexpensive ways to make Christmas magical here: http://mainstreetsisters.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-decorating.html
ReplyDeleteHope you like it!
These are amazing! I've been checking Instagram every day to see the newest additions (everyone is so creative!)
ReplyDeleteI did a little post about the Christmas fit I have going on in my apartment (love living in the PNW and having evergreens everywhere to collect decorating supplies as I need them!): http://laurenmortonfarmer.blogspot.com/2012/12/xmas-home-tour.html
Thanks for always making my day with you blog Natalie! This Christmas fun is making me smile like a giddy fool!
This is just a wonderful thing to see. All those Christmas trees, so special, so unique! Thank you for gathering and sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these Christmas trees My Blog
ReplyDeleteERMAGERD I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR F21 POSTS <3
ReplyDeleteThe tree with the baby angel on top was my favorite. One of the first you posted.
ReplyDeletethese are awesome!! made my night! It has been so hot down here recently (like, 75 every day), so it is hard to remember that Christmas is coming. But, it is! And all of these trees are so festive...they are definitely getting me in the holiday spirit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting my little angel!
ReplyDeleteThese trees are amazing! I love seeing how creative people get with their trees!! I decided to buy a living dwarf tree and we named him Hermie. I blogged about him here: http://picklesandchapstick.blogspot.com/2012/12/oh-christmas-tree.html

I see mine! Cute! Love all the trees!! And I love your marshmallow garland!!
ReplyDeleteYay mine made it! Thanks for doing this, it's so fun and cheery!
ReplyDeleteI blogged about two trees! My parents' and mine, both of which I decorated nearly single-handedly. ;) I prefer it that way.

Do we get to vote on our favorites? Mine was the one decorated with an orange cat and a black and white cat. I also liked the one lying down with the little girl and 'B' next to it.
ReplyDeleteOne year, my cat, Angel, got the garland wrapped around her chest and she almost dragged that Christmas tree out of the living room. Despite this, she spent most of her time parked half way up on a thick branch. That tree never stood straight and the next year, my mom bought a fake tree. It was never as much fun after that.
Thanks for posting these!
Hey! I'm up there! SO FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteI also posted about trimming my tree here: http://dearfriendblog.com/2012/12/trimming-the-tree/
Love your blog always. Thanks for being so fun, Natalie! :)
Yay! Thank you for sharing my mini tree and hosting this super fun project. I love seeing all these trees, i think my fave is the one with the kitties playing and climbing it.
ReplyDeleteI made my tree out of the FREE clippings from the tree lot and posted an easy how to here:
http://love-and-whimsy.blogspot.com/2012/12/handmade-holiday-diy-miniature.html
so glad you're doing this again this year! here's our tree trimming from this year :) i might (or might not) have 5 more throughout the house. all little of course. merry christmas!
ReplyDeletehttp://nishasblogger.blogspot.com/2012/12/trimming-tree-christmas.html
What a great idea! Nothing says "Christmas" to me quite like the tree. Here's a link to the Christmas tree post on my blog. http://designdictionss.blogspot.com/2012/12/let-holiday-season-begin.html
ReplyDeleteDo you know I can't even shop "alone" on Forever21.com anymore? I need to clear Babble -- and your suggestions FIRST -- before I even consider making a purchase. You're like my personal shopper. Of course, you put together a list to top all lists and the clothes are all giving me life right now. I so want that sequined heart sweater too!
ReplyDeleteThese are precious - great pics for the post! "A Christmas Story" + complete with our Christmas tree photos! https://the50dollarweekend.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/achristmasstory/ From, Cyndi @ Travel, hike, eat. Repeat.
ReplyDeletei love all these trees and i blogged about mine {link: http://tiger-and-the-pussycat.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/o-christmas-tree-o-christmas-tree.html }
ReplyDeleteand the fact yours had like a spiders nest in it seriously freaked me out--i have been checking mine regularly :)
Love this! I recently did a post on all of the Christmas trees since we've been married. :)
ReplyDeletehttp://bjmangelson.blogspot.com/2012/12/in-beauty-green-will-always-grow.html
Oh gosh, this post just makes me so happy! So much Christmas and holiday cheer! These trees are beautiful! Great idea, girl :)
ReplyDeletexo TJ
I can't believe you guys had SPIDERS in your first tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing everyone's trees. I'm in need of that little extra holiday pep this season. Check out our tree at http://blog.doublejones.com/2012/12/oh-christmas-tree/.
after a huge purge last year, i just have an itty bitty tinsel tree with about 6 ornaments. all dear to my heart. so i love this thing! http://www.thismomsgonnasnap.com/for-the-home-its-beginning-to-looks-a-little-like-christmas/
ReplyDeletelove this post!!
ReplyDeleteThis is our first Christmas in the city and we do not have room for any tree in our tiny apartment so I compiled a mix of tree limbs to create a "Charlie Brown tree affect."
ReplyDeleteHave a looksie!
