Show us your... Christmas Tree 🎄

[Beebo]

Artificial tree buried still somewhere in the loft, might need to call out mountain rescue when I start excavating. Did pick up a fishing Polar Bear decoration from Sainsbury's reduced in price and think it might stay where it landed.

The bike was from Tk Maxx a few years ago.

That’s either a very large bauble or a very small bicycle.

The bike ornament is about a foot and a half long.

And the BBC see fit to waste even more licence payers (of which I am not) money by chopping down their own ££££££££ tree as a 'security risk'

A couple of years ago our boys decided that they didn’t like the idea of killing off a living plant at Christmas, and Beautiful Wife was heard to promise “Daddy can make us our own tree instead” causing much frantic cutting of cardboard and applying of hot glue late into the night. This was meant to be a temporary solution, but the boys liked it so it seems to have become a permanent fixture as these things do.


The picture is a bit rough around the edges, but then so is the tree. Every year I look at ‘my’ tree and decide I really need to make a new version, and of course, every year I promptly forget about it.


Never mind.

Just the 2 of us this year so no tree

Christmas doesn't start until the 25th, which is the first of the 12 days of christmas. You'll have to wait until christmas eve evening to see mine. This modern trend for putting them up weeks ahead of time is sickening.

Quite agree. My son has mock GCSE exams right up to and including the 20th December! I don't want him to think that it is Christmas already and slack off the revision.

I tend to agree although my family don't. We're in advent right now. People say they're sick of Christmas by Boxing Day but that's because they start it too early.

Not in my case.

With a £2.99 expenditure in Aldi this evening the bike acquired a rider

Best part of my tree is the decorations that I hang, made by my niece

The tree has been up for just over a week and the TV is new as of last night. No aerial or licence though. The fairy was given to me by mum and was on the family tree for as long as I can remember. She's old.

Yes, the tea-mug is mine
