Proud to say my tree n decs are 16 years old. Will not buy a new tree unless it’s looks threadbare or gets lopsided.

People who buy everything new every year have got more money than sense. Stop following trends, stop trying to compete on SM.

Nobody I have ever known does this.

But if they did, it would be entirely up to them, as would their reasoning for doing it.

It is, but it's a hell of a lot of money!

Fair.

I would consider it though, they'd do a better job than me for sure. I don't have an eye for things like home decor.

Well I know someone who pays a company to come and decorate their house every year, and they have to give the stuff back afterwards. They do have more money than sense!

Well, we buy a new tree every year because we have a real one, but not decorations!

Getting out the familiar decorations every year is a big part of Christmas for us

Well, that's everyone told 🙄

MrsTwinklywoo · 22/10/2025 16:51
