Hi everyone, 

 

One of the staples of this season is undeniably the Christmas tree 🎄

 

For some households it's a tradition to go and pick up a fresh tree, for others it's opening the box and putting the re-usable one up for another spin, or simply going around town to see friends', family's and city squares' trees. Whether it's your own proudly-decorated tree, or a beautiful one you've passed seen out and about, why not share it with us?

 

I'll kick things off by sharing my own this year- it's my first real tree, and it's potted so we'll be able to plant it in a garden once the holidays are over which is really sweet:

Let the Christmas-tree sharing begin! smiley

Im in the Black Dog at the moment and there is a very Christmassy feel with all the decorations. The front is looking like Santa's Grotto.joysanta

Hi @EmilieT

 

A very long time ago!  When Woolworths still existed neutral I bought an optic fibre xmas tree. It is about 2ft tall it is a green tree with arms that fold out and fold back for storage ~ it changes colour all over from white, red, blue + so on then shimmers too ~ it is so pretty.   I put it in the window for everyone to enjoy. 

I am not a great fan of Christmas but I join in. Absolutely no stress though. (I have been the "stressed out" and find it unacceptable ~ so no more). My routine is exactly the same throughout and this suits me fine.

Christmas is a very short time for me ~ tree up couple days before and down a couple of days after.

Then I look forward to the start of a year that I intend to enjoy every minute of Fantastic

@Poppysmum

I had no idea what a poinsette was until now; if you've got a red one it looks quite christmassy so it works smiling

 

@gmarkj

15/16 isn't too late, you still get to enjoy the tree for a little while. I like to put it up early, it brighens up my days to to see it before going to work and when I come back, with all those lights and colours christmas_tree

 

@Cleoriff

I like that the decorations seem to extend from the tree to the rest of your house joy It's a gorgeous tree you've got there, can't wait to see this year's later on! On a side note, today's advent topic is now up, sorry it was a little later than usual, we'll be bright and early tomorrow wink

 

@Anonymous

I'm split as well on which ones to use. I've stuck to one fake tree until it had to go away as it was too big, and the one I got this year will be replanted once the holidays are over so I'm quite happy with that compromise!

 

@jonsie

Sounded lovely, did you spot any other decorations or trees on the way there or back? santa

 

@dgilbert2

I like it, it's not traditionnal but very intriguing!

 

@TallTrees

A nice little tree is all you need to join in on the festive fun ... just a little bit until the new year comes Happy Dance
