I’m not having a tree this year as renovations are ongoing. However I do have an elf and I am hoping to get in the Christmas spirit with him.
Please post interesting photos or ideas here in the run up to Christmas.
Today , my Elf is North Pole Dancing on my freezer door.

Is that Chester?

Op my advice is to do your own version of the elf,make up your ken reason why he/she is there and do it for far less time and don't have it come back every year

@AnneKipankitoo what a beautiful tree our wee Jimmy has this year. Always love anything with tartan!
Are all your photos from the same location, AK?

Sweetpea1532 · 09/12/2022 06:36

If they are from the same location that must be a breathtaking spot since each individual photo is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing them with us.Xmas Smile

Sweetpea1532 · 09/12/2022 06:37

@ZenNudist we'd love to see some photos of your dear little elf!

AnneKipankitoo · 09/12/2022 07:52

The trees and Mr and Mrs Claus are the same location. It’s not Chester.

This lady has been told to repaint her door as someone complained to the council about the colour. It’s not done yet but the weather is too cold to paint.

Oh, Lordy,@AnneKipankitoo that's one pink door😂! I can't understand why anyone would voice complaints, though, 🤔 especially since the colour goes perfectly with the pink balls on her wreath.Xmas Grin
Oh, I know! She's copying tacky American's who have started incorporating
Very strange colours and characters into our common over the top Christmas decorations. Minions, frightful ghosts, dinosaurs, dragons, etc.
So She's right on trend, bless her!

She did live in the States for a few years. Did I send you a pic of her Halloween wreath ?

Tacky American Christmas decorations Xmas Hmm
Actually, these 2 seperate houses decided to combine their Halloween 12ft. tall skeletons with Christmas so they threw some Christmas decorations on and called it a day

Each tree was decorated by a charity , a group , a school, or a business to raise money . 70 trees . This is one from a hotel.
