Title: My Tree is up!
Post by: Yellow Petals on December 10, 2006, 18:14:24
Ah, the tree is up and decorated.  I can't stop looking at it.  We went to pick it up from a local nursery yesterday.  A real no drop, no hassle tree, it looks beautiful.
Let's have a Christmas Tree thread, I love to look at them all decorated (http://www.jeromeflynn.com/vb/images/smilies/xmas1.gif)

A beautiful tree, YP, & a good photo too - not easy to get the lights right.  I have ordered one over the internet - due on Thursday - not sure if it's a good idea - I'll let you know!

Ooo nice - will try to take one of ours but our camera is on the way out.  Ours has every colour light, every decoration and every piece of tinsel the children could lay their hands on draped over it!  Mark described it as a really big slice of Christmas all smothering one tree!!   ;D

And to add ours to the gallery.  Seriously over done, but the children were in charge and I think it looks great!  A great big slab of Happy Christmas!  ;D

Lovely tree Buds - restrained elegance, or wot?....and lovely pic of you on the wall, btw 8)

EJ.....yours not quite so 'restrained'? teehee, bet the children had so much fun and are SO proud of their tree. Any home-made decorations there, btw?

I promise never to get another real tree. Got sick of all the loose pine needles. Even the NO DROP ones drop needles. You usually are finding needles a month after the tree is down. Sorry people but me is stickin' to false ones from now.

Emma, lovely childrens tree reminds me of my 3 when they were young just let them loose and Christmas is around the corner, once they have dressed the tree.
Hope you all have a lovely Christmas.

No kids about this xmas. I was not going to bother with the tree.  But I was up in the attic this morning so I dragged all the decs. down. Now it starting to feel a bit more like it.

I usually put some choccy decorations on the tree, but like I said the 'kids' have made other arrangements. So I have hung the tree with minatures instead.

Choccy gives me a headache,  well so will minatures if I get there before she does ;D
