If you already have your tree up can I see it please?

[mumof2sarah]

I'm trying to get some inspiration because I'm trying to switch mine up this year. I'd really appreciate it x

I love when the tree is up, so cosy

It's a bit of a mess, and yes that is a dinosaur at the top 😂

Rostbif I LOVE your topper.

I have a thing about t-rex's and how they are lovely misunderstood creatures.

I think I'm going to have a t rex topper now (I'll use the one that's going on my wedding cake

Just did ours.

Ours looks a bit different this year ... like a toy store threw up on it . Thanks to a mad little kitten, we haven’t dared to pull out the glass baubles or any family heirlooms and stuck to felt animals. So far, no interest from the kitten. 🤞

This is ours. My mum says its not festive but i like it.

We have 3, one in the sitting room, a real one in the entrance hall and another smaller one in the dining room...

Just... how. Have you attached the garland to your banister rail? It looks gorgeous.

Not sure if you can see for glare...

More a Bush than a tree, and on a windowsill for toddler related reasons ...

Here’s my small one - will definitely be dead and bald by Christmas Day but hey ho !!

Thesmallthings - thank you 😊
I agree, t-rex are awesome. I am outrageously jealous of your wedding cake topper btw!

Mine went up the other day I'm so jealous of some of the trees in here wish I could have a big fancy tree bit pur house is just too small.

@seymoursmyman

Is ypur tree real?

Our tree
Ds's Lego tree
Dd's Adventure Time tree

Took a quick snap before the one year old started eating baubles

Grandad i bought some fir large pipe cleaner things, but made out of green garland stuff so they blended in. But I'm sure you could use green wool or similar.

And thanks, that was new for this year 😊

Something like this but get one to match your garland...

Ignore the laundry basket in front of it

No lights on, as it’s on a hive plug and the internet is off as we’re switching provider. It’s mostly Newbridge silver with a few red & gold tiny glass baubles.

Purely for the kids. Artificial 6ft tree. Colourful with tinsel chosen by ds and a mix of baubles, stars, Xmas ornaments and handmade decorations by ds

All of these trees are gorgeous! I love looking at them all!

@pineappleeyes I'm particularly drawn to yours - gorgeous! Can't imagine how long it must have taken you!

And don't want to offend, but it doesn't have to be traditional red/gold/green to be festive. Mine certainly isn't but I still think my house feels christmassy

Thanks miss it didnt take too long to decorate maybe an hour, but getting the tree up and all the branches in position nearly broke me...it does every year. Last year i put purple on it...see pic below. But this year i went for just pink. I've sent a closer pic. I love it. Not traditional Christmas colours but matches our home and us.

OK here goes. Feel totally inadequate looking at everyone else's gorgeous trees ...
This is it before the cats start stealing bits and stashing them under the sofas.

Mine went up yesterday. It's 9 years old this year and I think it still looks good.

This is ours:

Can't get pic to turn round!
