:music: Plop, plop, fizz, fizz. Oh, what a relief it is :music:

It's the day after Thanksgiving, I'm so full I may never eat again! It's also time to put up the Tiki Christmas Tree! We always have several decorated trees in the house, so there is a heirarchy for tree assignment; you don't just come up with a new tree idea and get the 7 footer in the living room! You start out with the 3 footer in the dining room and if the Christmas Tree Committee (my wife) is pleased with your work, you may get a 5 footer next year :lol:

I made up some "bone" fishhooks, a "jade" heitiki, and some "stone" petroglyphs out of ceramic.

I tried a couple of Maori "bone" twists but I made them from the picture in my head instead of looking at a picture of a real one - they are too skinny to use! :lol: The 2 on the right are mine, I'll have to try again.

So I took my 3 foot tree, my torch lights, bamboo hut lights, netted glass balls, ceramic ornaments, cheap fugly silk flower garland from (shhhh - Party City) and some bone pendants I had and made my Tiki Christmas Tree.

And the crowning glory for my tree is Cammo's Gold Leaf Zormok
