Bah Humbug by graemestevens

Bah Humbug

This is a thing that miraculously appeared in our house over the weekend. I'm not allowed to touch it, burn it, maim it, remove anything from it or even to breath on it. People are rapidly becoming far too happy for my liking.
It's how Scrooge would edit, if he knew Photoshop! Perfect anti-holiday shot. :)

Impressive looking tree Graeme...fat too pretty for your taste....can't even see any scalps hanging on it!
December 7th, 2014  
It's got fluffy pink things on it... Shudder... I'm with you in bah-humbug-land ;p
December 7th, 2014  
MMM! I noticed the pretty pink fluffy things too, thought you might be wearing them!
December 7th, 2014  
Favorite bit is the skull peak!
December 7th, 2014  
i'm with you Christmas sucks
December 7th, 2014  
Awww...for shame. LOL LOVE the processing! Don't touch that tree!!!!!
December 7th, 2014  
Love the processing..fab tree! Hohoho....
December 7th, 2014  
love the purplish tones in here
December 8th, 2014  
Ha ha love your narrative esp.. Not allowed to burn it - you could 'accidentally' break a bauble then burn that though ?
December 8th, 2014  
Looks like the Ghost of Christmas Never visited your house! Cool tree, especially the "angel" at the top! :)

It might get infested with some kind of bug that could transfer to the dogs - then you would have to torch it in the garden... and, of course, it would be self-defeating to preserve any evidence of this infestation. You could scratch a lot in the following days though - for effect... just sayin' like....

Really lovely processing. Funny I never thought of an animal scull as a tree topper before. This looks ominous and lovely also. After Christmas something will have to be done with it.
December 8th, 2014  
I don't even bother with a tree. Like this shot, though.
December 8th, 2014  
Haha! Yep, I begrudgingly put up our tree this year. Very creative processing!
December 8th, 2014  
Wonderfully bahumbugy shot!
December 8th, 2014  
I think it still looks lovely.
December 8th, 2014  
I would know this is your tree a mile away with the skull on top! I love to see all the different styles of trees! Remember "no flames!"
December 8th, 2014  
@harbie It's a bit of a give away...an no flames = no fun
@skstein Super...it's black, which is the main thing ;)
@rangerxenos Thank you kindly
@kareenking Thank you very much :)
@blueberry1222 At least I convinced the ladies of the house to let me get a black tree ;)
@trinda It's the only thing that should be on top of a tree
@vignouse Any excuse will do!
@juliedduncan My favourite angel...and I scared that particular ghost away years ago
@scolgs They would know that it wasn't an accident
@gavincci Thanks very much :)
@nanderson It's a black tree, so one win to me!
@cindyloo Try and stop me...
@kali66 Damn straight
@overalvandaan Thanks - thought that worked quite well too...
@pinkpaintpot Not today..Christmas is bad enough without having to wear drag...
@northy Thank you, it's a great place to be
@happypat Did you happen to look at the top of the tree?
@rosiekerr Thank you very much :)
December 8th, 2014  
Hehe, love the skull on top, great shot :)
December 8th, 2014  
@hermann Thank you kindly :)
December 8th, 2014  
ROFL! My husband always tries to convince me to just do a plain tree with no decorations or lights at all! LOL!
December 8th, 2014  
Merry Christmas, Graeme! It is a beautiful tree, don't destroy it!
December 8th, 2014  
Excellent edit/processing.... I am assuming the real tree looks a bit more cheerful. Am I wrong?
December 8th, 2014  
Oh dear Graeme, what are you plotting to stop it?
December 8th, 2014  
Very unique
December 8th, 2014  
Oooo it´s definitely a Christmas tree shot in your style, a bit dark -love it! Yes stay away from the tree.....maybe you get a chance to burn it after the holidays ;-)
December 8th, 2014  
@susale Thank you very much - I'm going to sneak up on it on Christmas Eve and teach it a good lesson...
@deliad Thank you very much - it's how we roll
@ceilidh I'll just unplug it...
@eyeamlisa You're wrong - we have a black tree (on purpose) because we're a bit freaky...
@tabarlett Straight back at ya, but I'm afraid I may have too
@homeschoolmom That seems perfectly legitimate to me...and leave it in the garden...
December 8th, 2014  
Ok... call me daft... but is the skull really 'On the tree'? ;)
December 8th, 2014  
oh I do love your tree top adornment - my alligator skull is too heavy - hmmm maybe it can be the tree
December 8th, 2014  
oh - and the pink fluffy things need to be burnt - they are quite.......burnworthy
December 8th, 2014  
haha! that is an epic tree! this is going to be a challenge for you.
December 8th, 2014  
@lisatown Oh yes...it's perfection
@annied Thank you kindly, I think it adds a certain jena sais quoi to the whole thing...
December 8th, 2014  
@andrewkru My hands are twitching as we speak
December 8th, 2014  
Wow, I am not even sure I can show a shot of my christmas tree after seeing this. :) Wonderful processing.
December 8th, 2014  
@jess1204 Thanks very much - I figured there had been a few Christmas Tree shots lately (for some reason) so I should join the "fun"
December 8th, 2014  
@graemestevens oh duck you are gettin' a bit fancy now hahaha
December 8th, 2014  
@graemestevens and BURN THE PINK FLUFF - I know you're gonna
December 8th, 2014  
@graemestevens and I thought you liked that anytime!
December 8th, 2014  
thats a very awesome alternative tree, and a great photo of it. The glowing eyes are genius!
December 8th, 2014  
Sue
Ah but you managed to add the tree topper!
December 8th, 2014  
Lee
Not allowed to touch etc, but I notice you've added your touch. I like this Graeme the first thing I thought was gothic!
December 8th, 2014  
Just love how your edit makes it look somehow straightening! How can you not love xmas? I choose to believe in magic!!!
December 8th, 2014  
Great shot and edit.
December 8th, 2014  
Sam
I'm not back at home until the 19th December so I guess that is when our tree will go up! I'm going all out this year - even putting up lights on our back fence. I'm the new Mrs Griswald!
December 8th, 2014  
@essafel Thank you very much - we can do alternative around here ;)
@redpants I used gloves and tongs....
@gamelee Thanks very much - it had to be there really...
@roseolivia Thank you - it's just not my favourite time of year...at all
@ukandie1 Thanks very much :)
@gigiflower now that's just SICK
December 8th, 2014  
Sam
@graemestevens You secretly want to do it as well, cmon just admit it. It took me 40+ years to admit it too ;)
December 8th, 2014  
December 8th, 2014  
Kim will have to tie you up to stop harming it..............oh wait, that will just entice you further ;) Lovely tree! I put ours up today
December 8th, 2014  
My god, even your Christmas tree is eccentric!
December 8th, 2014  
Oh dear, hope it doesn't cause a character change. Not long now. Just resist all temptation to add candles.
I must say that it is probably the nastiest tree I have seen so far, well done.
December 8th, 2014  
I am kinda like that about my tree but more traditional! Interesting!
December 8th, 2014  
@lynnilou Thanks very much...tied up you say? hmmmm....
@yaorenliu This place is a madhouse!
@lleo Thank you very much - mission accomplished then on the tree front...
@neatz Thanks very much :)
December 8th, 2014  
OMG I am laughing so hard!

Excellent edit. Three cheers for humbug.
December 10th, 2014
