Disappointed with Christmas tree

For the past 3 years we have got real Christmas trees, we went somewhere different this year and I am so disappointed with how it looks.
It looked fine in the garden centre, but now it’s decorated I can’t see past its funny shape, especially with our tree from 2 years ago just showing on Snapchat memories and how perfectly shaped it was 😭
It’s very obvious which is which, I can’t wait for this one to come down!

I accidentally had a ‘Christmas bush’ one year- the one time we chose one already wrapped up and didn’t see it actually standing. Alll the branches were at the base and went out almost 2 metres then there was one super long bit sticking out the top! I have to laugh now when I think about it as it was a good memory from a pretty bad year. Hope you find a way to love your tree too.

I love it! Your last years one was really lovely though so I can imagine when comparing back it doesn’t seem as nice.

I have a tendency to pick the less desirable of things when it comes to plants/pets as I don’t like the thought of them being left unpicked and on their own

It's a tree and it looks lovely. Christmas will still happen.

[quote ImStayingInside]@BeaMends wire?! Educate me 😂 what could I do with wire?[/quote]
It's anodized aluminium wire, beloved of bonsai enthusiasts. You wrap it round the branches and bend them into position.

Cat seems to like it and that's all that matters!

Rather off topic but what a lovely cat!
