Real tree , we love going out to choose one each year and planning on the kids making an ornament each for it from salt dough each

Real tree, and the selection of decorations and lights from the attic. The new addition for this year will be some laser lights for the front of the house: keep seeing adverts and they look really cool!

We have a lovely quality fake tree, I'm too much of a clean freak to be dealing with needles all over the floor. I love Christmas decorations because living with a husband and only boys, it means I can go proper pink on decorations for once, yay!

I've never had a real tree. I like my pop up tree - has decorations already attached so it looks perfect within 10 seconds of taking it out it's box

Probably just a artificial tree and some tinsel.

I absolutely love Christmas and this year I am going all out as its my lg's first, she won't know as she'll only be 3 months old but that's not the point!
I hate real trees indoors as the needles get everywhere and I don't think my hoover would cope, so the 7ft Balmoral Artificial Christmas Tree would be ideal for me. When it comes to decorations they have to be perfectly placed, and if it glitters and sparkles like the silver diamonte snowflake tree decoration from Homebase I'm having it!

We have a really nice artificial tree and use decorations that we have collected through the years. We have got a large tree in our front garden which we decorate with festive outdoor lights 🎄

We are going to get a prelit Snowy fake 6ft Christmas tree, stand it in the front room. It will be decorated with silver and purple baubles!

Just a tree jam-packed with baubles!

A real tree, it starts out Victorian and very tasteful, hundreds of fairy lights everywhere, then the big glittery reindeers come out, snow globe and voilà - Christmas has come !

We've had the same fake tree for 23 years. Tree decorations are a mixture of Victoriana style and some special and sentimental home-made/school-made decorations the children made for me. Twinkling lights and of course tree chocolates add the finishing touch.

With all decorations out of reach of little naughty hands

I have a realistic fake snow tipped tree which I decorated with frosted ornaments and snow lights

I'm hoping to put the tree up 1st Dec :).. it's a fake one with lots of white/silver baubles. I add new ones every year so there's lots and clear twinkly lights.

I will be moving into my new house a week before Christmas, so I am hoping to make some lovely wreaths before then and add things I find in the forest. I like living trees, natural things - not a fan of tinsel. My cat used to eat it. First Christmas in my new house, so unbelievably excited.

I have two trees, a big 7ft real one in the living room that I decorate and a smaller potted one in the playroom that I let the kids decorate themselves.

Real tree with purple and silver baubles and fake tree with all the baubles we've collected over the years. Plus lots of other bits and Bob's!

I decorate inside and out with as many lights as possible without going "National Lampoon" and have two trees.
I can also be a bit of a snob so it has to be tasteful (well to me anyway😀) red, gold cream and bronze colour scheme with white lights in living room. Garland on the fireplace and tv unit again covered in white lights. I would say quite Victorian in style.
But having said that my kitchen is totally the opposite.......80s Retro so anything goes!!

Outside I have icicle lights (warm white) up on the roof guttering and another set along porch and garage and front window. I cover my bushes at the bottom of my garden in lights (warm white and a string of coloured woven through) might add more lights to apple tree at front and climber to the side this year.

I have been searching the past week or two as some of my lights needs replacing and was also considering a new tree for the kitchen, I had already decided on the 600 icicle lights (warm white) and the string of pink fairy lights (for kitchen) as compared to eveywhere else they are the best value I can find.
Also really tempted by the 8ft arc tree or the 6ft artificial Norway spruce, really love the real Christmas tree look but I cannot justify it (in my own head) cutting that poor tree down only for it to die after Christmas.

I do have a real tree who lives outside in a pot. He only cost me a fiver and was looking a bit forlorn sitting out near Aldi's car park a week before Christmas, with all the other scraggly trees that nobody wanted so brought him home and named him Angus!
I repotted him and has grown well over 1 foot since last Christmas. Angus will adorn his Christmas attire soon and be moved to my porch.

Real tree here, with warm lights and scandi decorations. I am a tinsel hater so there’s none of it in our house! But plenty of homemade garlands with orange, cinnamon and star anise.

We have a real tree decorated in traditional red green and gold with all the home made ones making it extra special, we have ceiling decorations in all rooms apart from my bedroom and the toilets we have toilet seat covers wine bag holders flashing stockings, cushions and toys you name it we have it

Digging out all the normal decorations from the cellar. Fresh pine tree, lots of lights. Lights outside on the hedge - tacky but the kids love those.

We have a great big (fake) Christmas tree.... I never had a real tree growing up and the real ones just don't feel as Christmassy for that reason.

I like lots of fake greenery around the house. I did try and get creative with some of the real stuff, but clearly didn't check it for bugs...

We go for a real mix of decorations, some older than I am, some new, some picked up from cheapo multipacks and a few expensive ones.

A big load of fairy lights cover a multitude of sins.

We have a white & silver colour scheme.
Real Christmas tree (no tinsel!), fairy lights, baubles, star on top.
A stocking each on the mantlepiece for the DC and a couple of extra little Christmas things around the house like a Santa ornament and a reindeer toy!
So nothing too garish or over the top but just enough to make the house feel festive and magical!

I have a real tree in living room with gold fairy lights and a mix of vintage mercury glass baubles and bright pink beads. I make paper chains for ceiling in red and bright pink and am going to go mad with new pom pom maker for garlands for mantlepiece. I bring in lots of holly and other evergreens to stuff in jugs around the house and have a small Christmas tree in kitchen with mini candy canes and lights. I have glass bauble vases to hang in windows for sprigs of holly and am making star garlands for windows too.

I'm going to buy a white tree this year
