Great thread. And I like your pinterest board.

Is putting your tree in a very big basket a thing then? Some of those trendy pinterest trees are lovely on top but then look like they are sitting in a bin.

Handbag Im trying desperately to pin the second red and white tree but its not working - thank you though!
73kitty I know Kirsty Allsop is a big fan of the tinsel so I will try and find some of her pics expecially for you
LtGreggs yes and in Zinc buckets it seems - I wonder of they are live trees/potted

Aww, thank you orange.
I didn't know that about Kirsty, I watch all her Handmade Christmas specials too!

I'm really excited for Christmas this year. Well, I am every year but usually I only get excited end of sept/October time, not June. But last year we moved so it all seemed like a bit of a blur, I can't wait to settle down and really enjoy it this year.

I always use tinsel. Tacky as it is - it just doesn't feel the same without it.

I've added some suitably tinselly trees 🌲🌲🌲

You can not have a tree without tinsel

This is mine from last year. I have a real potted tree on a table as i have a window seat built into the bay window so no room on floor.
I bought new lights and think i may have had too many if such a thing is possible !
I am loving this thread btw

I love a perfectly coordinated tree, but mine always ends up covered in tinsel and all the old homemade / sentimental, completely mismatched ornaments I get out every year

thanks flapjack have saved

Mine from last year. Mostly red, gold and ivory with the DC's homemade ones and some personalised ones too. Excuse DH's legs

Ooh lovely woolly !

I will definitely join this thread!! Just came onto Christmas boards to cheer myself up as weather is completely miserable and grim.

I actually need to buy a new tree this year so this is great inspiration.

LOVE Christmas trees! I always go plain white lights but this year I want to go retro and buy some multi-coloured lights like we had when we were kids 🎄

Joining this thread! I have decided that I will be buying all new tree decorations this year so picking up ideas whilst looking at all the lovely trees.

I've been.adding some more traditional types lately ..there is one lovely one full of german style glass.ornaments
