We’ve only got a Christmas issue!

[BeverlyLincolnScripts]

The Beverly household is at a loggerhead. There will be no turkey should we not resolve this issue, family members will refuse to visit, the children will demand more expensive gifts and and the pigs will surely shed their blankets.

Which baubles shall we decorate our tree with? The classic set or the more modern set?

Please help us avoid a Christmas disaster.

The modern ones!

Compromise.

Go out for a lovely walk this morning and collect pine cones.

Add pine cones to tree with pure white lights.

Put random shite baubles in a glass bowl.

Sorted.

On my first Christmas with a baby, we were so skint that we had no money left after spending a tenner on a real tree. I collected pine cones and put them on the tree with thread as well as making ones out of the back of a cornflakes box and a set of felt tips.

The ex was an utter dick later on when we split up, but he kept those decorations because they were from DD's First Christmas, even though I made them - they still held sentimental value for him, even though he hated my guts.

I now plan ahead - my house has a liberal coating of Ivy and there's a rampant Pyracanthus out back that needs hacking.

Sorry, also not sure what is meant by traditional or modern except that all our baubles have been round and red or gold for about the last 30 years. DPs were the same for the 30 years before that!

DPiL tended to be more freewheeling. One memorable year they stuck baubles to the ceiling. We all took our lives in our hands as pointy glass baubles swung above our heads like festive swords of Damocles!

I can't believe no one else has objected to your outrageous statement re tinsel!

The gold decorations will fit well into other colour themes as well. I think I've used my gold ones in all our trees over 35 years, in one colour theme or another.

Because tinsel is the worst mynameis

We’re just about to set off to purchase 🎄

Put pictures of both in front of the baby and go with whichever they touch/make moves toward first

Modern

Neither. Fill your tree with interesting things. Your tree will look like a shop display otherwise.

Modern ones.

Fill your tree with interesting things

No.

Fill your tree with things you love.

Again, these are just filler baubles.

Well we got the the pastel colour set as the others weren’t in stock!

Thanks for help

Those were nice too, what colour lights will you have?

I'd use the metallic and turquoise/blue ones from the modern set and the red ones from the traditional. Red and turquoise look good together without being too traditional

Classic.

WWMD?
What Would Mariah Do?

Modern, they look so much better imo
