Snow Returns and Unusual Christmas Trees

Snow had to return to my area, after all, I'm in the northern part of the US and snow is our norm for winter. I wasn't particularly anxious to have it return, but it arrived overnight despite my desire for it to stay away a few more days. That means I'll start my morning up by shoveling, but the snow should be finished for the next few days. Tonight as soon as we close at work, Chickie and I are heading off to see "The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies". I'm sure I'll have lots of fun watching it and if there is no snow, so much the better for driving to our preferred theatre (considerably farther away than the more convenient one). Now if I could just find my movie membership card.....

It looks like everyone is showing up at the front door of the Dwarven kingdom.
What fun! 

As promised, here are Christmas trees, alighted and beautiful, for your enjoyment. The final items have been purchased, the cards from friends and relatives are making their way into my mailbox, and all is right with the world (except I have to shovel snow - *sigh* - LOL).

This lovely Christmas tree is French designed but is erected
in Dublin, Ireland. 

This stunning, large tree is in Sao Paulo, Brazil. You can
get an idea of how large it is by the people clustered at
the bottom. It's HUGE! 

This lighted tree is from Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately, I can't
tell the size of the tree, but it is quite the showboat, isn't it? 

This very modern tree was displayed in Madrid, Spain. It
looks alarmingly sharp, doesn't it? 

This is a Christmas tree made entirely of shed deer antlers. It was
erected in New Mexico, which is in the southwestern part of
the US. I don't think it's too large - probably somewhere between
six and eight feet tall, but it's an impressive pile of antlers. 

And for my final unusual Christmas trees from around the world
entry, I offer this wooden tree from Kalamaria, Greece. This one
would be a lot of fun to climb, don't you think? 

So there you have it for today. Now I'd better get my boots on and get going on my shoveling. I have a lot of snow to move before I can head out for the day... Happy Tuesday everyone. Oh! BTW, the plumber is scheduled for today so if all goes well, I'll have unplugged sinks and two upgraded toilets by the end of the day. Crossing my fingers....
