Show me your Christmas tree / decorations please. In need of inspiration

[WhoopsEee]

Show me your photos of your Christmas tree and/or decorations please. I'm needing inspiration this year to get going and try different things as I'm such a basic decorations person that i want to make more of an effort this year as everything has been rather glum.

None this year then 😄

I got a small real tree from a company called Bloom and Wild which comes with decorations for £33 to put in my daughters room as she really wanted a real tree this year. For living room we have a fake John Lewis one that we decorate with things the kids have made in school over the years and a few random bits and pieces that they and we selected over the years. Sorry no photo at this end but would say definitely look into any small markets you may have around to get small bits and pieces that are nice and you can add to each year 🎄

I love this these threads at Christmas.
These are ours, we have one in the dining room and the other in the living room.

Ours is fake and I would prefer real but we make the best of it. Have collected decorations for a long time and it’s a real mish mash but mostly colour themed. It’s cosy and warm and makes me happy. Garden centres usually have nice decorations.

Real tree in the lounge. Fake one on the kitchen. I don't like a busy tree so always simple decs and white lights for us.

Fake. Mainly gold baubles, beads, lametta. Bows in colours that work. Random extra ornaments that are a bit special, interesting. Some of them old, some chosen, some given.

My folksy tree. A mix of home made, kid made and purchased items.

My black tree with sparkly stuff

Here’s ours. It’s fake. It has Disney baubles which we’ve been collecting for many years. When it’s time to put up the tree , unpacking the baubles is like greeting old friends. We all get a new Disney bauble at Christmas to add to the tree.
We also have a smaller tree which we call the travel tree. Instead of fridge magnets we pick up a Christmas bauble .It’s a lovely reminder of our travels and happy times.

Love all these trees and how individual they are 😊

Aw I love these trees. I definitely need to add some bits each year as I haven't had much chance in previous years to have our own tree. I went to a Christmas barn at the weekend and couldn't believe how much they wanted for one bauble!

Real tree here. We started out with a couple of boxes of boring baubles 20 years ago, gradually added bits and pieces each year. We have a "tradition" that the DC each get to choose a new bauble each Christmas and I love to see how their tastes have changed - when they were younger they inevitably chose cute fluffy animals, but the past couple of years they've gone for fancy glass ornaments.

No photos as outing, but my theme this year is black, white and amber on a flocked fake tree. All handmade glass baubles, warm white cluster lights. No tinsel!

Here is mine. Small tree, green white and silver.

Keeping it low key and tasteful here.

Classy

This made me chuckle 🤭

Your fireplace and doggy are both wonderful

.

This is my fav so far. Love your tree decorations!

Thank you 😂

We have artificial trees as it seems more environmental than buying a destroying a real tree each year.

Red in the living room and hallway, pink kitsch in the dining room.

@PledgeDusterMop Could I be cheeky aand ask where you got your larger tree from? Is that 6 or 7 foot? It is gorgeous and looks so real!

@SpottyBumPony - without wishing to derail the thread,according to a recent article in The Guardian, for the average 6ft 6 artifical tree, you'd actually need to use it for 10 years for the environmental impact to be lower than that of a real tree... appreciate lots of people do probably use for at least that long!

That's good to know, our big tree was MiL's before ours so we are ok there!
