why do you particularly want a black tree? i saw a couple in the shops and couldn't quite see the point... but apparently they were selling really well. what's the attraction?

well I wasn;t taken with black tress until I saw this one in debenhams. At 1st I thought "its not christmas without a green tree" BUT I actually think they look quite nice. Esp decorated with silver and black decorations...personal choice I suppose. .

Iota, ideally I wanted with lights, dd is 18 months and I am risking a tree this year but think (mmm maybe silly of me..!) it may be slightly easier iykwim if the lights are attached.???
Usually we have a real one but with dd I think that is asking for trouble...needles everywhere, weight of it etc. Real for the hall but an artificial one for the lounge..

i think the ones i saw weren't particularly nicely decorated, to be fair. they looked like the kind of tree that present-loving satanists might have as an arch protest against the birth of christ. i can see that lights would make a difference, the one i;m thinking of looked like it might have been decorated for Rosemary's Baby.
