I think the time has come to get a bit of magic into our houses without people thinking you are crazy for putting the tree up this early. 🙂

Let's use this thread not to boast but perhaps to give each other some ideas or motivate each other to slowly get into a Christmas mood. It's been a tough year for many myself included and whilst I did take the box with the tree out I am still waiting for this final push to start setting it up/decorating. Would love to see all your beautiful Christmas trees.

She'd be 4, 5 in January. She was 14 months when she went.

Sending love to you, DS and your precious DD.

Our tree has memory baubles too for my babies. My DS also loves choosing one for each of them. 🫧🤍

This is our tree last year. My youngest ds is always in charge of decorating and does a brilliant job. Loving all the trees 🌲 so beautiful 😍

That's a beautiful tree Nongatron.

I used to buy a natural tree for many years but these days with the kids being adults and mostly gone, I put up an artificial tree. I bought this one in Aldi 3 years ago, and I'm happy. LED lights are part of the tree and I don't have to struggle a couple of hours with 1000 LED lights looking good.

We have baubles for our DD too, she’d have been 4 last month. Sending you both lots of love and hugs.

Mine went up on the weekend

I absolutely LOVE how proud your dogs are of their hard work putting up the tree!

Not got our tree yet. Here is our tree from last year. Most of the decorations on it have been given to us as gifts from overseas and we like to buy a Christmas decoration when we're on holiday. I like to think of it as a tree of memories.

A real one will be wilting by the time Christmas arrives if you put it up in November.

I'll get it weekend of 10th Dec I think

I also love the themed trees like Disney etc. My kids have been obsessed with harry potter lately and I wanted to do a harry potter one but after I added up the costs of getting all the new decorations I quickly changed my mind haha.

Hoping to post the photo of my tree in the evening !

My tree is a combo of vintage quality street wrapper colours and crochet baubles and it is making me smile each time I look at it 🌲

Good evening everyone ! OP is here

We have just finished decorating our tree with the kids so wanted to share with everyone how it looks this year. We also realised that we haven't got enough batteries for the lights in the house so this will have to wait till tomorrow 🙈

This is one of mine looming behind me. We have 3 because I can't commit to a theme Grin

Lots of beautiful trees on this thread.

Utterbunkum · 02/12/2023 12:22

Loving all the trees. We haven't got ours yet, but am looking forward to it.

WickWood · 02/12/2023 12:42

I don't have a tree because I have 4 cats who will wreck it, but wow, I am loving looking at everyone's beautiful trees!

So...back in September I joking said that as all the adult DC will be here for Christmas along their cats (5 in total, don't worry they all rub along together having lived here at various times when their people have travelled for work) I thought it would be funny to have a mouse themed tree.
It caught on and the kids are I and have bought Christmas tree mice from our travels from far away New York, less exotic South Yorkshire and London. Liberty mice will rub shoulders with B&M and the Range. I am unfeasibly excited and have even made decoupage baubles.
Our last Christmas was the first without my lovely mum so we really struggled this year I am excited for it and looking forward to us all being together. #Mouse tree

So many mice ❤️ mind you tidying up the front room and decorating the tree has taken all day 🤦‍♀️

Not tinsel. Never tinsel.

My offering. Why do other pictures have seemingly perfect places for their tree whilst mine always requires juggling furniture and squeezing it in between a chair and sofa?
Anyway, da daa!🎄
