These readers’ Christmas trees will get you in the holiday spirit

In Lawrenceville, Tonya James says she loves to coordinate the family's Christmas decor. "We have all kinds of ornaments on the tree. I have ornaments from all three children that date as far back as 1993. I have also incorporated my husband’s love of his Dallas cowboys football team, lol. I absolutely love the season."

Our readers really love sprucing up their homes for the holidays. You might say they’ve been pining for this all year.

As you can see from these photos, you can’t put up the tree — or trees — too soon. That also goes for the stockings and garland.

The best part about Christmas trees is no two are the same. Some are decorated with homemade ornaments and others with bought to commemorate special events. They are topped with angels, stars and even a sorting hat.

Have you put up your holiday tree? We would love to feature it in our gallery.

Just send a photo with your name, what part of town you live in and a short paragraph describing your tree — What is the theme? Where did you get the ornaments? — to nancy.clanton@ajc.com.
