Tastefully decorated or a mishmash of love...which describes your tree?

[HenniPenni]

DH wants tastefull colour co-ordinated tree and trimmings....we will have mishmash of all the lovely decs that the DDs have made over the last 6 years. What do you like?

I have a mishmash of love and think it's brilliant. The decorations have been collected throughout my childhood, I even have a knitted snowman and a choirboy that my mum made (granted the choirboy looks like he's had too much brandy). It looks lovely and traditional and I think this is an important part of Christmas and no offense but I hate all this only lilac and white this year business.

Certainly a mishmash, we have things the kids made, some cheap baubles and some gorg decs from Germany/France/Belgium my Mam has brought me back from various Xmas shopping trips.

A mishmash of love, of course!

Ours is a total mishmash - can't see it very well but I think you get the idea - loads of multicoloured lights, hundreds of random ornaments and mounds of tinsel!

Don't like "themed" trees that much.
Ours is always interesting, shall we say.
(I do have to have REAL though. The smell, you see...)

a mish mash of love....in a very tasteful manner!

Bum - previous link to total lovey mishmash doesn't work - try again

We have always had a mish mash tree but this year I plan on having a nice, organised one. I have been buying lots of new decorations and am going with the iceblue, white and silver colour scheme this year. I will, however, let dds do their usual "decorate the christmas tree" moment as they do every year where I follow on afterwards, when they have gone to bed. I undress the tree again and do it how I want it to be.

Don't they notice, sparkler?

They have never complained - I think they just want to have the fun time of playing with the decorations to be honest.

Colour schemes, naff.

Lots of decorations which I bought when pg with ds - way too many in fact.

Tree cock-up whereby I ordered a bog-standard 5 footer & the local nursery delivered something which looked like the people of Norway had sent it to, say, Birmingham...& they only charged us £20! Result, once we'd got the bugger to stand up...

Big tree. Red & gold decs. Job done! (& in photos has dh's present of a chinchilla kitten, now a fatso catso, roosting in the branches).
