So, living is long and thin. Sofas in the middle facing forward. Behind is toys and entrance to kitchen
Normally tree goes in front window by telly.
DS be we bothered with it really. He'd take the odd bit off the bottom but wasn't really destructive. He's 5 now and I should be able to trust him not to do anything silly.
HOWEVER we have dastardly twins who will be nearly 1, pulling up and cruising, chewing ANYTHING that's inappropriate, definitely the sort to pull a tree over and bite the angel. Did o mention my lovely expensive baubles??
So the plan is to put it the other end, where we can't sit and see it but we will when we aren't sat down, which is most of the day until the kids are in bed tbh. We use a toy box to split the room so the dastardly twins can't get into the kitchen / DSs toys.
But that's a narrow space and Xmas morning not viable to sit around / or presents under.
So I'm thinking of handing baubles from the curtain pole (that had no curtains) in a teasingly shape to look like a tree, plus a few within the triangle to look like baubles.
Or just loads of different height ones along in a row.
Or any other ideas?
I did think maybe just lights on the window bit with the blinds we wouldn't see much and I want Xmas morning with a tree.
Can't even suggest moving it down on the actual nothing because frankly I'm dreading keeping the twins behaving as it is, without fresh fun in front of them!!
It'll give us a bit more room at lunch time too.
Did I mention my house really isn't very big?
Tldr: shall I make a tree out of battery and hand from my curtain pole because my tree isn't safe there?
