Black Christmas tree

40 replies

We usually get a real tree at Christmas but thinking of getting a fake black tree this year. Budget around £100 and 6ft in height. Can anyone recommend or have seen a nice black tree.

Why black? It sounds terrible.

LuigiGhostDog · 08/11/2025 17:04

Here might be good

Edit, I’ve tried 3 times to link this black 6ft Christmas tree from Argos and it keeps screwing up, just google it

Interesting colour choice for the tree - are you going to use your existing lights and baubles etc, or will you buy new ones this year?

Because that’s what OP wants. Any other stupid questions?

landlordhell · 08/11/2025 17:10

Sounds horrible. Do you hate Christmas?

Very defensive all of a sudden.

Why would OP wanting a black Christmas tree suggest they hate Christmas? What’s wrong with black?

Mildorado · 08/11/2025 17:18

Well. That took a turn.

Are you referring g to black people by the term ‘blacks’? Totally out of order.
Nothing wrong with the colour black. But black trees don’t exist do they? Christmas is a time of joy not mourning.

This has got to be the quickest a thread has turned wild 😭, what is going on

Do you equate black people with everything that’s black or just black Christmas tress?

Someone has decided to be the thread police and take on the role of OP defender. Equating the dislike of a Christmas tree with racism 🙄

No, I was asking if you hated shades of black, this thread was never about anything else but you automatically assumed so which tells me a lot about you

Do I hate blacks? That’s what you said .

Not twisting just repeating

Black is a colour yes?
This thread is about the colour yes?
You suggested the colour black was an issue yes?

Am I wrong?

landlordhell · 08/11/2025 17:24

No you said blacks not black or shades of black . You know what you meant .

Yes, you’re wrong.

Perhaps I phrased it badly but at no point did I intend anything other than the colour.

Id like to ask @landlordhell again, why would having a black Christmas tree suggest OP hates Christmas?

Yeah same.

You didn’t phrase it badly. You quite clearly asked a poster, on the basis that she didn’t like black Christmas trees, if hated black people. Quite clearly, no ambiguity whatsoever.

Overtheatlantic · 08/11/2025 17:36

I’ve read that people think black trees can look elegant, and I could see that being true.
