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.

Our previous one lasted about 25 years.

@Oneofthosewsillydays
happy to oblige, we bought our tree from an online company called Christmas tree world . I think it’s based in Liverpool? Our tree is the mountain pine tree at 7ft tall , but wish I’d bought an 8ft one . It is very wide though 147cm .
Everyone who’s visited us thinks it a real one at first . It does take a while to fluff the branches up after being boxed away all year though!

My tree and decs are very retro. Or should I say dated 🤣🤣

That's not even the finished one. Will post again later

This is ours. I like to see quite a lot of tree and no so money decs. Saying that the tree used to be covered in all the kids homemade ornaments which I loved but have sadly not soon the rest of time.

Didn’t have quite enough warm white lights for ours, but I like it anyway. Nice fresh tree, smells lovely!

@PledgeDusterMop thank you so much, it is the best imitation I've seen; I was shocked when you said it wasn't real! I love how it looks nice and full as well. I will definately be checking one out for next year!

This is ours

I made this today!! Just a little bit proud 😂

Everyone's tree and decorations look lovely! Here's mine, snow blanket and lights added to the unit...

@MackenCheese it’s fantastic! Did it take long?

We only got a new tree last year after having our first one since 2009! So two years of being environmentally-neutral 😁 Got a decent one last year so hoping it will definitely last us at least another 12 years!

This is the bottom half of our tree. Dd (17) did it.it’s very girly.

Heres mine! Dh did the top lights which are a bit weird but he likes it

Here's ours. It's actually bare around the bottom as baby DS keeps pulling everything off

Some lovely trees here.I love yours @Kenworthington

Mine. Real, about 7 1/2 ft. Some decorations date back over 50 years.

Real tree always here. Nice shape this year, previous years have been a bit hit and miss. Looking at the photo I can see it’s a bit gappy at the front, I’ll have to move a few ornaments. Ours is very random, lobsters, labradors, planes and flamingos all happily co-existing. I’m loving my new dinosaur tree topper. The twenty year old angel finally got retired!

Other than actual glass baubles I have nearly got to the point now where all my decorations are handmade.

I'm far too much of a cheapskate to actually buy hand made decorations so I made pretty much all of them myself over the last 5 or so years. I'm quite pleased with then, they make nice small, self contained projects to make in front of the TV, and extra make good grandparent gifts as well.

Real tree. 1000 warm white cluster lights. Red, gold and green decorations

Mainly felt mice from TKMaxx this year. I am totally in love with my light up ribbon.

Kitsch as usual !!

I absolutely love all the tall elegant trees. Ours are always so patchy and gappy. Anyway here is ours. Throwing in a photo of my mantle piece Christmas village for extra measure.

@dontlookgottalook I love your mantelpiece village! I now wish I had a mantelpiece just so I could put a village in it. It's the sort of thing I can imagine my mum would love.
