Christmas Decoration Advice Needed

[Emul]

Oh wise and inventive MNers. I need advice of what Christmas related poncery I can put in the alcove of my living room. Previous years I've moved the small table into the alcove and plonked a 2ft fiber optic tree on top. Said tree is kaput now so what wonderful delights can I put in it's place?

My big tree is in the dining room and I don't have the room to store a second large one so I was thinking something small and putting fairy lights around the curved bit at the top? I don't know what that "something small" could be though.

Please delight and enthrall me with your fantastically festive ideas?

I'm sorry but I would have to buy another tree because that alcove is just crying out for one

How about getting one from a charity shop then donating it back after Christmas if you don't have the space to store it? Or one of those pop-up ones that go down absolutely tiny.

Otherwise, what about one of those curtains of lights hung across the alcove? But personally I would get another tree....

Omg a pop-up tree! I hadn't even thought about that!

Argos are doing a third off two slim ones. I can't decide if I want a white or green one. The tree in the dining room is green with fake snow on it.

How crafty are you? Could you manage a flat Christmas tree made of sticks/ branches/ garland?

They look loooovely Alanamackree
Unfortunately I'm not crafty at all. In the slightest. Mine would look nowhere near as good as this if I tried it.

In your situation I would get a pop up tree as suggested by the pp. I would personally go for white but only because I want a white one but the rest of the household have vetoed it.

I am so tempted to get the white and the green one for the alcove and one for the landing upstairs. Mr Emul would go absolutely nuts!!

I should never have posted this. I didn't even know pop-up trees were a thing and now I want one for every room in the house

skinny trees! same boat as you, this was mine..

That's so pretty WhoisyourDaddy

Pencil Christmas tree, would fit nicely.

Thank you! sorry thats what i meant too, Pencil/skinny tree.

Yes get a pop up tree OP - or two - you know you want to

A salon I go to have a slimline popup tinsel tree - looks surprisingly good and can't have cost v much. Shiny enough that no fairy lights are needed although you can never have too many fairy lights if you ask me
