not sure if this has been done before but i thought it would be fun to start up a picture trail of all our christmas trees!

if you email me on [email protected]
with your mumsnet username so i can title your piccy!

for everyone to view i have set up this www.picturetrail.com/mumsnetSHOWoffs

all entrys to be in by the 24th (as i see that few have mentioned thats when they get there tree).

there will be 3 catagories

FUNKY AND MODERN (if thats your style and why not!)

TRADITIONAL (for the lovely golds reds etc)

FUN (ie those whos lo are old enough to help and take charge!)

i will send a bar of choccy to all winners- nothing much i'm afraid as i am rather skint! but thought this would be fun?

i will delete all emails and will not share address's with anyone unless user gives consent.

hope that you want to join me!

Must admit, I can't really be arsed this year! We usually do it the weekend before Xmas and the rest of the decs are usually up by now. My mindees love seeing all the things I put out, but I've got jury service for the whole of Xmas fortnight, so I'm a bit not bothered really. I like to draw a line under 'stuff' and then get on with Christmas, but I can't because I'll be in court every day. This thread has spurred me on, to make the effort though, so thankyou.

Probably except after 20 minutes of annoying helping me with it i found them other boring more important jobs to do FAR FAR away from the tree!!!

Will probably enter my old-fashioned traditional tree, but not until after 17th (when I receive it,) as is a real droppy-needle type tree!
