Debbie bought this metal tree for Christmas of 2016 and it's been up ever since. We change the ornaments every holiday and now it's set up for Halloween.

I just finished changing all the batteries and I'm hoping these Energizers, will have enough power to be sustainable to keep the lights on though October.

Come November 1st we'll be changing the theme to Thanksgiving. I can leave the pumpkins up and add a few pornocopias and turkeys.

The season that stays up the longest is Christmas. We put our heavier ornaments on this metal tree because the limbs on our old tree won't hold them all.

Plus it keeps the cats from knocking them down and breaking them. We love our kitties.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Splendid @wonderwop ! You have received an upvote from @minnowsupporter. Keeps steeming with @minnowsupporter for more ;)

I've got a tree made of a branch stuck in shellac to an old lunch tray that we decorate to different holiday themes too. It used to sit on my great Grandmother's dining room table and when she died I claimed it. My brother kept threatening to throw it out the window on the drive back from Utah to Oregon. He couldn't see the beauty in it?

They really are alotta fun to find things to put on them.

I love this idea and the festive year around celebration themes, it seems to just keep joy in the home and I'm all for that. So much better than waiting for 1 month a year.

I'm soooooooo happy she bought it. It's really fun to decorate. And when there is no holiday, we put Fiesta medals that we collect in April, all over it. Fiesta is a 10 day party that happens in San Antonio yearly. Here's an example of a Fiesta medal.

This was my personal Fiesta Medal from 2011

So nice I know this must be a lot of fun. I hope to visit San Antonio one day.

I hope so too.
