Monica Nguyen sent in a photo of an African-inspired wooden statue nestled beside a candle wreath.
Nghi Pham and his family decided to make their tree the brightest around. Sparkly baubles in a red and white color scheme decorate pine branches. Classic.
Eric Card’s family has had these Japanese ornaments for as long as he can remember. He says that they used to scare him when he was a young boy. Now he likes them. Sort of.
Asli Omur went with a glittery white tree evoking kitschy 1970s decor. Her ornament is a Russian doll that is meant to encase many other smaller dolls. She says this one doesn’t actually open up, though.
It is Sean Hall’s first Christmas in his new house. For his tree, he decided to have masculine decorations like Nintendo ornaments. See the Game Cube and the One-Up mushroom?
Grace Razote is the owner of Runway Boutique at Westlake Mall. She stands in front of the snowflake decorations at her store in a matching outfit. She gets points for not using red and green colors.
In honor of the upcoming year of the ox, Michael Nguyen tries to gather more luck by taking a picture of an ox pulling Buddha. The figurine is surrounded by garlands and wreaths.
Trang Nguyen made her tree patrotic by including blue elements. Pretty appropiate considering the events of this last year!
Maggie Khuu made a sushi tree with her friends. The ornaments are actually authentic, edible sushi. The “snow” is made of white rice. Yum!
