It made me think of my grandparents' condo in New Smyrna.<br />Also had to download that butterfly tree to share with my mom. Her mom loved butterflies, and now she thinks of her mom every time she sees them.

I think it's just that kinda year. Pandemic Christmas #2, just being tired... It's okay. <br /><br />Sometimes if an event has made weird or stupid changes, or isn't as good as previous years, it's because someone new is in charge for whatever reason. Is there any way you can give feedback about it? (Especially the flashy lights, ugh!) The museum's Facebook page, or an email on the website? It's worth a try. And hopefully it will be better next year! I so enjoy your photos, thank you for posting them!

Some of those trees are so bright they hurt my eyes. :) I'm with you on the favorite tree, but I do love that blue & white one, and the butterflies one is such a cool idea even if it doesn't say Christmas to me. That could look cool on a topiary during spring or something, though....Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-88238705247001241662021-12-07T11:10:26.206-05:002021-12-07T11:10:26.206-05:00Gorgeous - thanks for sharing!Gorgeous - thanks for sharing!Kathy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985702024707805018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-9488313625934779992021-12-04T23:27:59.712-05:002021-12-04T23:27:59.712-05:00Those were fun!

Just wanted to say two things -- first, that tree you were mesmerized by is so incredibly luxuriously gorgeous! I don't know how they managed to make so many different colors look so lush and rich instead of mind-scrambling. Second, the white tree -- the one that still managed to look snowy despite the golden glow of its lights -- it reminds me of the picture book <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1938527.Wenceslas" rel="nofollow">Wenceslas</a>, by Geraldine McCaughrean, illustrated by Christian Birmingham. I always thought it was so lovely, I wanted to share. Thank you again for the lovely photos.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771539890113924735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-62116787370827056002021-12-04T15:31:56.501-05:002021-12-04T15:31:56.501-05:00Oh, boy, can I relate to your feelings!

Thanks for the reminder to focus on what's important - it really will all be OK.<br /><br />The pictures are stunning, as usual! I do love the trees that coordinate with the paintings in the background, it really gives them an extra oomph!Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036334286142271626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-56897343024308668292021-12-04T15:23:55.443-05:002021-12-04T15:23:55.443-05:00THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! :) :) :) Agreed...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! :) :) :) Agreed on the spazzy-setting on the hall lights. The trees with the European paintings are AMAZING! I have some of the ribbon on the Beetlejuice tree, so I appreciate the preview. It's wrong for my tree, but I could do it on one of the 4' trees I have & be entertained/amused/have another tree. :) Thanks again, Jen! <br />Kerri E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09303931687357369539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-8415437906460176062021-12-04T15:17:08.709-05:002021-12-04T15:17:08.709-05:00I was reading and scrolling and got to the 'us...I was reading and scrolling and got to the 'use a wreath to frame wall decor' bit, but hadn't scrolled the photo all the way onto my screen yet.

I wish I could comment on each tree and wreath, but I'm at work where they expect me to be doing mad things - like WORKING! The audacity of them! Thanks again. This post is one of the highlights of my December.

Maybe it's from living in Canada, where the days are especially short at this time of year - the soft glow of a Christmas tree in a corner is so soothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-76270317266289264502021-12-03T11:44:37.249-05:002021-12-03T11:44:37.249-05:00Wheeeeeeeee!

I have the trees up, but I am way behind on the outside due to surprise baking tasks, which will be awesome once I get them accomplished, so again, THANKS! for the pretty motivation!<br /><br />I do not have strobe light issues, but just what the hang? It doesn't look festive it comes off more like a stark panicked warning of doom...kind of like those trees from Melania's White House. I think *twinkling* lights would have helped, but the twigs do not welcome, nor announce the abundance of pretty you're about to see.<br /><br />Without reading your commentary yet, when I saw the photos behind the kids' Pink Tree I was like "Well this curator likes horror films involving children." Mercy.<br /><br />I have a pin board dedicated strictly to pretty Christmas trees...Thanks for giving me a few/lot more to add in the mix! <br /><br />Big safe hugs and lots of support as you find your pace during all the hubbub -thanks for the reminder that the whole idea of the celebration is supposed to be about joy, peace, and giving as God gave to us all. Happy Chanukah! May we all find extra light and a rededication to the Holy Things in our lives! Merry Christmas! Hooray for the miracle of Redemption and Grace! And just Happy Happy to any any all -this is a great time to Celebrate just being here with each other no matter our beliefs. Love to all! <br /><br />I s'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428688718621294742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-49812642235346509842021-12-03T07:51:15.262-05:002021-12-03T07:51:15.262-05:00Happy Hanukkah!

Plus this year we're spending Christmas in Florida so I don't have a tree of my own to take a wallpaper picture of.

Love these posts a lot. Rather than migraines I have vestibular issues that are triggered by stuff like those lights.
