All four are up and fully decorated thanks to my Christmas crazy better half. She also decorated the living room and the TV room. I hung four lighted wreathes outside, strung some lights and placed the lighted snowman and Santa.

Excellent start John. A few of my friends have the same multiple trees and extensive decorations thanks to enthusiastic wives. I see that Terry has gone to the opposite extreme.

We're all set and ready to go! This video is from last year, but this year looks almost exactly the same.

Thanks much! Yes, the Lionel's are classic 4-6-2 steam locomotives, as I had as a kid.Nice Christmas setting and train layout Marty. Classic Lionel? Interesting telescope also.
I actually have two telescopes, and both are in the video. They're astronomical clock-drive Schmidt-Cassegrain of 4" and 8" lens diameters. Astronomy and cosmology are lifelong interests that the telescopes enable me to explore. I LOVE TOYS, and I indulge myself with stuff to play with.

Up and decorated since the day after Thanksgiving. We've been putting up a 7 1/2 foot tree; bring it up from the basement and it was getting difficult. So this year, the Shirlmeister bought a small tree and decorated it to her heart's content. The lights go from color to white and the tree is flocked like it has snow cover. It's gorgeous. No trains but, Marty, That's Fabulous pard!! And John B. FOUR? More power to ya my bud!!

Yep, Two trees. One ornaments the other hallmark cars. Finishing up outside today. I am very late with outside.

One tree for us but hundreds of ornaments on it. It takes hours to set up. I have an extra tree I used to decorate with Hallmark car and truck ornaments but haven't put it up in years, just too much work.
