I need some inspiration to dig out the Christmas tree and get the bugger put up. Can I see yours?

Love having the decorations up🎄🎄going to spray paint the start gold, it doesn’t match silver.

Looks a touch sparse as due to more space than usual we've got a 6 foot tree this year, but still only the ornaments for our usual 4.5 footer.

We'll be back to a diddy one next year so not worth buying extra.

Tried to go a bit 90s!

Here’s ours

@thenewaveragebear1983 lovely tree. I don't feel christmassy either but we'll go for a tree this week if it ever stops raining.

MyStickIsBetterThanBacon · 04/12/2023 22:25

Lovely trees! Here's ours.

MichaelAndEagle · 04/12/2023 22:32

Only room for a slim tree here. Another one in favour of coloured lights though!

JustACountryMusicGirlInCowboyBoots · 04/12/2023 22:40

We are having ours delivered at the weekend. I've said around 6ft but they've delivered an 8ft before which was fun trying to get it to fit. We always have a real tree and some of the decorations are at least 44 years old. It brings me great joy each Christmas. Coloured lights here too. Noma Victorian's lanterns thanks to mumsnet.

Our tree, goes up first weekend of December every year

kingofchaos · 04/12/2023 22:43

We have two.. the big 8 footer in the front room, and the rainbow in the kids playroom.

With added cat bonus!

Makes me so happy.

I love your blue walls. I'm currently arguing with DH as that's what I want and thinks it'll be too dark!

Our tree and carrots

GladioliandSweetPeas · 05/12/2023 14:10

The coloured light string clearly wasn't long enough to cover the tree, but DC excited to decorate so we made do!
Highly, highly recommend M&S 7ft trees with the power pole. They're rock solid (made of steel), each main branch is on a steel pole and the smaller branches don't have to be 'unfurled!'

So tree decoration is a breeze these days and this tree will likely last a lifetime. (Or at least 10/20 years I think/hope)
