Here is our 2010 "upstairs tree". I decorated it myself after the kids went to bed. It's so much more enjoyable that way. Since we had two tree's this year, I had to split our ornaments between the two, and I ended up using some of our fall decor (fake fruit and berries), as well as some dried oranges that I dehydrated, to fill in the gaps.
The boys decorated the tree downstairs. I had a nice FHE lesson planned entitled "Christmas Tree Decorating 101: What every boy should know" but I ran out of time to give it.
So...we got this:
I sat on the couch and twitched while the boys took over. Todd couldn't handle the carnage, and had to remove himself from the situation. When the boys were finished, I took one of the baby's orphaned socks and threw it on the tree from afar. It was the perfect finale.

Next year I'll be sure to give my lesson...
