ubereglu Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I put up our christmas tree today! It's four foot tall and gets stood on top of a little table in the corner of our living room, sandwiched between the sofa and a shelf, then presents slowly get piled up underneath it! The tree has a large selection of baubles, both plastic and some quite old glass ones, as well as some knitted ones and other handmade ones too! In the porch I put up the old set of fairy lights!

Reikiranf Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I put our decs up yesterday, big snowflake light on front door, tree in dining room decorated with blue and silver baubles and white beads and I put crystal effect sparkly lights across the mantlepiece. The tree in the lounge has green, gold and bronze baubles and bronze beads, I have a white feather wreath with lights near the tv and a christmas tree and a snowman crystal tealight holders at either end of the mantlepiece. The cards will go up when I find the bluetack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Oh what a lovely pic - no ironing and assorted rubbish in the way to strategically do close ups or even grotty old furniture that a skip would reject. Ahhhhh bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 our tree is broken ive just gone to get all the stuff, got part way though and found the base was broken so it wont stand up (so much for having a plastic tree then ) so, now, we have a small 18inch high light filled plastic tree with the pressies round it the weather was so rubbish last night and still freezing today im not prepared to go out driving to get another tree, hope it thaws a bit so I can get a new tree ho hum cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Here's what you do. Get an outdoor plant pot. Fill it with well-packed earth; or if you want something more permanent, concrete or plaster with a bit of metal tube set in it. Looks nicer as a stand, and you can still use your tree.

Valkyrie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Here's my tree (spot the mess kicked out of the way) Close up of the chocs And my favourite decoration on it.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 You can buy a paper cup decoration?! Why not just put string through an espresso take out cup? What next, coke cans on the tree?! Empty Monster Munch packets?! I'm amazed they do them! They're quite sweet, but living in a coffee shop vacuum these days, I'm astonished at what they come up with to bulk out the coffers! Lovely lovely tree. Love its squishy green hugeness. Proper!
