Your christmas tree

[Beebo]

Here it is. £60 worth of tree sitting in a bucket of water, ready to be decorated later this week.
Always worth giving it a good drink before you bring it inside

Mine will go up on Christmas eve and will come down on twelfnight.

Sainsbury's raided this afternoon and a clip on Robin found perfect for the top of the artificial pop up tree that is too close to the ceiling. It's atop a small table behind the TV that has a couple of vertical power point extensions under it. To balance it two legs are on a old monitor stand which is sat bridging between the table, with a book to take up to the height difference. and the TV stand while the third is supported by a pair of small storage boxes.

I personally wouldn't bother, but think I'll be over ruled soon.

Last year we had a 6ft tree that was a touch too large, will go get a 5 ft one if I am forced to later this week

We've rearranged rooms and furniture and haven't left a gap for the big tree, so it's a new table top 4ft model this year.

I put my decoration up on the 1st December, which is unusual for me to do it so early.

I put some lights up yesterday, just some battery powered fairy light jobbies which turn on automatically for 6 hours per day.

That'll do.

I bought myself a cardboard fold away tree this year. It saves all that dressing it up and needles on the floor hassle!! What do you reckon to it?!

What do you mean it looks like a Tesco one!! 🧐

Decoration all down to Mrs TB. Tree coming up for it's Silver Jubilee, next year.

Black and white photo to the right of the tree, is of my late Dad, in a timetrial for Stonebridge Wheelers (Birmingham) c1957.

I haven't had a Christmas tree for years. I'm too tight to buy one and I generally think they're a bit of a faff. I have a contorted willow tree in the garden so I bring in some branches and decorate those.
My dad died in September. He absolutely loved Christmas and always had the biggest tree it was possible to fit in so in his memory, I'm going to get a tree this year. Dad had a great sense of humour and his tree was always decorated with sticks of Wrigleys chewing gum hung on threads. My sister and I used to love guessing which were empty and which were still full.
I found out they've stopped making it and I've had to buy some from Indonesia!
I'll post a picture of my efforts here when it's done.

My efforts.
The chewing gum packaging has changed

Got the decorations to go on yet but this is ours, despite my indifference it seems I was outvoted and a tree has been purchased
