Anyone NOT got their tree and decs up yet?

[dontgivethedogsprouts]

We haven't. Probably get tree tomorrow.

we have a few cards on teh piano and have put the nativity scene on one of the speakers. may buy a tree this weekend

We haven't, as dp in hospital yhaving a minor operation. I need to buy decs, aas they all got trashed last year.

we only have a small house now and the HUGE tree we have just doesnt look right, and becky has just started walking and will pull it to pieces.... well, its not worth the aggro!

still have to chop said tree down (it's mess at the bottom - 4 feet of no branches) but the top looks fine so will have to trim the trunk - sat probably

JARM please put some sort of tree up! Or decs - can you buy a teeny tiny tree that could go out of Becky's reach?

I think you need cheering up

When ds1 was coming up to 2 year old, we had one of those 12 inch christmas trees from Poundland! It sat perched on our presents.

Yes moondog, been in about 4 weeks now roughly.....it's lovely ! We are really looking forward to doing things a la francaise !!!!

course they still say 'dole' moondog
no decs up in our house

We're doing it this weekend. It was ds1's birthday on December 7th so we wait until that's all done and dusted.

Not having a tree or decorations here either.

Not yet, probably at the weekend though

Will once again buy a leftover reduced funny-looking reject orphan tree from B&Q and nurture it with love and tinsel.

Had a great book somewhere that had a list of ways to deal with trees with too many / not enough branches, that were wonky, top heavy, bottom heavy, shedding etc
The best tip I remember for a sickly yellowing tree was to splosh it with white paint and sprinkle with glitter (in the garden of course) - think we might need to do that this year...

I really want to put the tree up, but we are moving house on the 22nd and are away at my parents from the 23rd until 28th so there doesn't seem any point, but it doesn't feel very christmassy without it .

We don't put ours up till Xmas eve...have cards up though!

We don't put ours up till Xmas eve...have cards up though!

i think soapy is sending me a tiny tree so we can put it out of the girls reach. a shame really because I LOVE CHRISTMAS and it just doesnt feel it this year!

Some cards are up. Every time I think about decs I think 'oh but dh won't like them' when he probably won't particularly mind either way. Will prob go for ivy-gathering walk this w/e.

ME WE'LL DO IT SATURDAY

We haven't. We'll get the tree on Sunday and put it up sometime next week.

We'll get our tree on Saturday. It's always a family expedition and DH works too late during the week.

We havn't got ours up either, Bought the tree but its in the garage. Awaiting some energy, enthusiasm and time. Same for Xmas shopping.

No tree or cards up 'til Friday 22nd PM

Although we do have Mary and Joseph making their way through the sitting room to Bethlehem (dining room) inch by painful inch, where they will arrive at the stable (on the carving table) on the evening of the 24th - we have added a couple of sheep on and off and then miraculously Baby Jesus will appear in his crib overnight .... then the shepherds, then on the Epiphany the Wise men will call ....

Reminds me of the card with Mary and Joseph (she heavily preggers on donkey) with Bethlehem twinkling in the distance ......

CAPTION: " So I'm 9 months pregnant, it's Christmas Eve and now you tell me you haven't made reservations .... useless Twat"

LOL yeahinamanger

We haven't yet. Will do it at the weekend.

It's far too early to have a tree up! Ours will go up over the weekend or into next week.
