These are breathtaking. I love Italy — I had never expected that to be there.

What beautiful pics!!I thought the one in Italy was totally cool. Happy TT.



They are all beautiful, but nothing beats a tree from the Rockefeller Center. Great post. Have a wonderful TT. :)



Stunning. I especially loved the one in Italy that seems to be made out of glass blown tubes…very cool! I love the look of your blog it’s awesome.

Aren’t festive trees beautiful..I even like an evergreen decorated for Easter with painted eggs…so pretty.

Here is my TT list:

Living on the west coast, sometimes, makes me miss going to New York every year to Rockefeller Center.

Those pictures were beautiful!

You can never have too many lights on a tree! I love that tubular tree.

Seeing the one in Trafalgar Square makes me very homesick!



I can’t pick any as they are all so beautiful. Mine is about different traditions of Christmas.



Ellen says:

Nicole, Those are fantastic. I’d love to see some of those in person…

Japan and Italy are my favorites.
Happy tt!



Gorgeous photos! Happy TT :-)



DrillerAA says:

Ya gotta love that National tree in D.C.

Happy TT



The trees are all beautiful, and I would love to see them all in person. I have been to Rockerfeller Center at Christmas and there is a special magical feel in the air. Its a great experience if you are ever able to go!



All stunning! The tree in Murano, Italy, is the most unusual I have ever seen. What imagination!



Gosh, I don’t think I’ve seen any of these – even by photo. I bet Rockefeller Center was amazing. It’s a delightful treat to travel by blog – thanks!

Happy TT!

My TT is up A little kindness



Very cool shots! Amazing collage.



Great shots. I like the Paris one the best.



The one from Moscow is my favorite. Love the bright blue. It’s beautiful.

Happy TT!

I think the Moscow tree is stunning.



Allison says:

Pretty! I like the Tokyo and the Italy one on the hill the best—I think they are very similar! :-)

Come visit – 13 things about my hubby, T!



I love Christmas trees and the lights. It’s hard to pick my favorite.



Natalie says:

Those are gorgeous and oh so different. I love the bonus one best…I think. LOL!

My T13 post is up, come check it out if you get a chance. :)



Grace says:

Great compilation. The one in Japan is too techy and lack the warmth though, as expected. (I lived there for 10 years!)



PD says:

I love the one in the mountains of Germany best.



Xakara says:

The pictures are gorgeous. Some of the trees are freaky, but gorgeous to look at in the pictures all the same. LOL

Happy Thursday :)

damozel says:

WOW. I can’t work out which I like best. The one in Germany doesn’t even look real—like a postcard or a painting. But I love colored glass so it’s got to be the one from Murano for me!



Coco says:

Wow… those are so extremely beautiful! Breathtaking, wonderful… awe-inspiring, whatever you may call it! Great post :)



jennifer says:

Those are just so neato!! I love the pics.



My personal fave is the Russian tree, but really, they’re all beautiful. Merry Christmas!



Michelle says:

How amazing! I loved the photos. My TT is finally up now too.



I love the Mosco one…and the hillside one in Italy!

Wonderful. Thank you, and happy Holidays!



Siani says:

Lovely pics. My favorites are the Monte Ingino one, and the German mountain one. Happy TT!



Very cool Happy TT

Lori says:

That was so lovely! I really liked the one in Moscow.

Happy Thursday!

Beautiful collection of holiday tree photos, Nicole! I’d be afraid to breathe around all those glass tubes (at least that’s what I think they are) at Murano Island. :-0



Nichole says:

Ah, Prague looks amazing!



The Tokyo one is really unique. I loved all the pictures – especially the ones of real trees, but I stared at the Tokyo one just imagining the logistics it took to get the right offices to cooperate in order to do it.

Happy TT!



These are wonderful (except for the weird Italian one, but they get kudos for originality). :)

I have two TT13s this week:
