Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Aye that is a fine bit o' X-mas merrimet, and the wee one is lovely as her Mum! My best friend/brother has a resin cast skull that has topped his trees as long as I have known him to put one up! We was more the biker crew in the early days, but always the pyrate at heart! Lot's of paralell between the pyrate crew and the bikers says I. Shoulder to shoulder and back to back in the fight and always ready to rumble! Huzza! Bo
Black Syren Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 LOL thanks..I did not have much...But Maeve inspired me and there you have it! Oi...I just noticed the orb... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Captain Midnight Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 That is an AWESOME Christmas tree! And two of the loveliest lasses to go with it! My wife has decided she wants a snowman tree next year, so...if she can do a snowman tree, it stands to reason I should be able to do a pirate tree? LOL! Merry Christmas to you all!

Lily Alexander Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 It's a wee bit small..but hey it's got room to grow for next year....And my wee one... Merry Christmas to All, The Black Syren and Family.... That's an awesome tree and mom and wee one look beautiful as usual. Merry Christmas to you. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/
Capt. Sterling Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Very nice indeed! And the lasses aren't too shabby either....

Silkie McDonough Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 That's great! Hmmm ...maybe I SHOULD put up a tree ...hmmm ...nah ...will have to pack it all up at the end of the season anyway. lol
Patrick Hand Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 This was my Pyrate Christmas tree about three years ago..... ...................
Red Cat Jenny Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Aww those'r great! I'm workin on mine this week now that I'm off. AAAaarrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Happy Holidays! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Black Syren Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 Patrick that is great! I was thinking for the topper of a big red X to mark the spot Pyrate Santa should place my Plunder..But could not figure out how to do it. The topper on there now is a Mega Bloks skull and is just temp till I can find something more fitting. I also have the ships from the Card Game the Pirates of the Spanish main on there but you cannot see them well. Where did ye find yer small tankard? Would love to have a few of those..lol Maybe we should have a Tree contest for next year..That could be fun. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Should have taken photos of the entire tree, since we had wee cannons, ships, shrunken heads, etc. hanging from it, but here are tree toppers from Christmases past: You can't tell from the photos, but there are lights in the eyes (red lights, in case you were wondering...) This year's tree is in a Mardi Gras theme - the tree topper is our buddy the skull again, but wearing a mask. I'll have to take a pic one of these days.
Black Syren Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 Jill it was your tree topper that got me to thinking I should do one...It was Maeve that inspired me as we plotted on the phone for the doing's of it.. Im jealous of yer tree topper....However I have an idea in the works fer mine..lol..Ahh Next year! Just waiting fer someone to cash in on Pirate Christmas cards.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Iron Bess Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 ROTFLMAO.... What fun mates you all are! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Jill it was your tree topper that got me to thinking I should do one...It was Maeve that inspired me as we plotted on the phone for the doing's of it..Im jealous of yer tree topper....However I have an idea in the works fer mine..lol..Ahh Next year! Just waiting fer someone to cash in on Pirate Christmas cards.... Yay! So glad to be of inspiration to a fellow pirate! I got the skull at a local party shop, BTW. I really like the doubloons on your tree - good idea! Heh - pirate Christmas cards ("Hope you ARRRR having a Merry Christmas!")
Patrick Hand Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Where did ye find yer small tankard? Would love to have a few of those..lol Yard sale find ..... all three for a buck......
Black Syren Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 Hmm will have to tell Pyrate Santa I want a few of those.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Patt - why don't you try your hand at piratical Christmas cards? Ya might make yourself some extra doubloons...
Ransom Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Wow, great trees you guys. Lots of kewl ideas for next year. And even if you didn't have a contest, it would be fun to post all the pictures. And Patrick, I agree with Red-Handed Jill. Might make yourself some extra PIP money! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Mad Woman Cheryl Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Ok, next year I put up a small pyrate tree. Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"
BriarRose Kildare Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Hmmm, me thinks I will put up a small pyrate tree next year too. Now I have all year to collect the booty for the tree.

Red-Handed Jill Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Whups - forgot that I was going to post this. This year's tree topper:
Lady Alyx Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I have a gazillion Sailor Jerry bottle hang tags that I save when I buy Sailor Jerry Rum. I often thought about doing at least a nautical tree and using these bottle hang tags as onaments along with ship's wheel's etc. Since I handcraft Santa's I thought about making a Pirate Santa this year, but got off on a tangent on making a Krampus, I let you all look that character up if you want to. (comes from my Austrian heritage) ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Black Syren Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Ohh I want a pyrate santa!!!! LOL And Just had this brilliant idea...You know how they put a little train under the tree to run around it..Why can't we have a pyrate ship? Take the train off if possible and keep the base and afix a pyrate ship to it then about the track hide it by making some srt of waves or such..Well it was just an idea..lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
Lady Alyx Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Or a big ole vintage vanity tray mirror and add white flocking for waves? Build a little port village around it with light up lights..oh so cute as a Pirate theme. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
