Would you put your Christmas tree up if you were on your own?

[Appalonia]

For various Covid related reasons I'm going to be on my own on Christmas day. I'm ok about it but don't have the motivation to put my tree up. I have some lovely ornaments and it looks beautiful when it's up but cos it's just me, I can't be bothered! It might cheer me up to do it, but everything's so grim right now, what's the point...?

No way!

Yes, because I love it.

No. I never put a tree up unless I have guests staying.

No. I don't think I'd even bother putting a tree up if it was just me and DP. Just do it for DC really.

Nope. Tree only gets put up for husband and children. I can't stand Christmas decorationsor much else about Christmas

I do.
I'm not at mine for Christmas but it's part of the self-love/care I do for myself as I love a real Christmas tree

Yes I would, some of those decorations are old friends. Have a lovely time whatever you choose!

Yes, I already have. Did the same last year.

Yes. My tree brings me joy - I love fairy lights and decorations.
I think if I lived alone it would be really easy for me to slip into not bothering to do anything nice for myself, so I would try to fight against that and do the things which I know make me happier.

No I wouldn’t. Mainly because it is a major operation getting it down from the loft.

I never put a tree up when I lived alone no.

Yes - I love sitting with the tree lights lit in a dark room. Tis lovely.

Yes and I have

I lived alone for years and always got a few poinsettias dotted around and some nice ornaments/candles instead of a tree, I just couldn't be arsed but didn't miss it x

My first single Christmas in 10 years and I haven't put up a tree.

I've strung up loads of fairy lights, got some Christmassy candles and several poinsettias. Have some chocolate tree decs hanging off a pot plant (less than there were yesterday). Might get a mini potted tree for the smell tomorrow if can be bothered.

Def not bothering with the big fake tree, it's for when I am hosting only as its a faff to put up and down.

(I like Christmas Day by myself - quiet, all the food and drink I like. Don't have to share the Baileys or champagne truffles. Less washing up).

I'm not putting mine up this year. I don't feel very festive

I would either get a smaller fibre optic, like 5ft, with decorations like poinsettias already on so no need for baubles,
or I would get a nice bushy potted tree, maybe 3-5ft, that would be easy to bring in and dispose of afterwards.

I lived alone for ten years and if I was going to be gone Christmas Day then I put it up, if I was going away I didn't bother.

I've lived alone for years and always put a tree and decorations up. It's never occurred to me not to!

I have a lot of single friends and most of them have Christmas trees too.

Yes... not sure when I'd bother taking it down though.

Probably not, I think I’d travel somewhere hot (if covid didn’t exist)

I used to have an enormous real tree every year when I was single and lived alone (most of a 12 year run). I’d always have a tree, the effort is worth it.

Yes.
