Christmas in July Day 7

I for one am glad. This heat has been putting a serious damper on my holiday spirits. I'm just getting power restored after it went out last Friday due to a freak storm that seem to come out of nowhere. Had to stay in a hotel because the heat in my apartment was unbearable. Didn't even celebrated 4th of July.
Thinking of trees sounds like a great idea. The smell of pine trees after it rains.

Aggy glad you got your power back.
I put up one big one in the living room and a small one in the kitchen.

Generally only one - a large tree in the living room, in front of the south window. Sometimes I might put up a "tree" of some sort in the yard or on the open front porch.
2 big ones, one in the living room and one in the dinning room.
I would love to find one of the 1/2 trees that hang on the wall for my kitchen but haven't been ab;e to find one.

I have the main one in the living room, full size on the back screened porch, small one in the kitchen on top of a cabinet and one in the upstairs hall for the boys.
In the past I had a tree in every room, bathrooms included. Last year I only had a large one in the livingroom and two narrow trees flanking my china cabinet in the diningroom. I'm just now working on my decorating plans for this year so I'm not sure how many or little trees I will have. 
Last year I just had the small kid's tree - all unbreakable!
This year I'm putting the kid's tree in the toy room. It's very girly - lots of butterflies and fairys
The large tree will be going up (feeling brave this year!) in the living room. I will be getting new decorations for it, but am thinking the colours will be silver/gold/berry red. Not 100% sure yet.
I would also like to buy another tree this year. Not necessarily put it up as I will most likely get it in the sales. Will either be for the master bedroom (blue/silver theme) or for the bathroom (pearl/white/cream/gold sort of colours). Will see what I find

This heat has me completely batty because I totally misread the post.
I put up 9 trees. One outside my front door, on the balcony, bathroom, kitchen, both bedrooms, diningroom, kitchen, the main tree and usually a smaller one in the livingroom. This year, there may only be eight since I've rearranged my livingroom. I may only have the main tree in there this year.

We put up one large one in the living room and I have three mini ones that go in other areas of the house....the computer room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. We used to put one in each of the bedrooms, but stopped doing that quite a number of years ago.
I need to decide what the theme and colors will be for this year.

We have a big tree in the living room and then two smaller ones somewhere else - they used to flank the entertainment center but I'm thinking they might go on either side of the front door this year because at our new house, there are perfect spots for them.
This year I think I will do two "big" trees, our tall skinny tree and 2-3 tabletop trees.
So, 5-6 total.
The main tree goes in our living room, and I will put another full size tree on the enclosed sunroom porch...
I think the skinny prelit tree with unbreakable ornaments only can make an appearance in our upstairs living room this year. The first year that room will have had a tree since DS was born!
Then a tabletop tree in one bathroom, in our room and possibly in DS's room. But he is tall enough now that I am thinking we may skip this year. I can see him pulling it right off his dresser!!!

Two -- one at work, one at home. Work is decorated with Nevada type stuff -- silver ornaments, pine cones, mini cowboy stuff, neon colored lights.
Home is in livingroom, decorated in white and gold with angel motif ornaments.
