patsylabrador Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) This is ours. Generally we don't decorate it much, lots of the decorations have some significance. Edited December 20, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 My poor tree is a little tragic this year, I usually get a real one but have been poorly for the last ten days so had to resort to the tree from the attic....oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've had to buy all the decorations the last few years, since I moved out of my moms home. She has ancient handblown hand painted ornaments, really nice. I bought every single thing on sale after the holidays are over. So adding bit by bit, every year. Only have red and white ornaments.

Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Here's the Webmuppets tree. Our tree is grown at a farm just a mile and a half from our house. [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks people. I love seeing other trees. Soapdragon, I've downloaded photoresizer and photobucket onto my phone. Then I can resize my picture to medium setting and share it with photobucket. Then I go to share on photobucket and click on share img. Then in theory you can paste the image on your post. Sometimes it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Your tree has disappeared, PL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Is it back? Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. Perhaps you should just ignore my advice Soapdragon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes, it's back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Here's mine The Christmas pud and the Panettone are there to remind me I need to take them to where I'll be on Christmas Day! My Omlet crafty swap is nestling there too. I have a complete mixture of decorations, some old and some new. The fairy deserves a special mention. She's older than I am - she used to grace our family tree at home, and was reclothed by my mum some time in the 1960s. I love getting the decorations out every year, they bring back so many memories.

Luvachicken Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Here is my tree. Funny how mostly the blue lights show up. I have a lot of bells on my tree and lots of things that I have collected for a long time. My Mum bought me my angel 23 years ago. This is one of my favourite decorations. I can't wait to get him out every year. And of course Lindt chocs tied on to the tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 and here is our's. We still have a real tree but they are becoming soooooooo pricey that I am thinking about a good artificial next year. Loving yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Can I ask what you paid for it? I got a 2 m tree and it cost me €40, which is about £31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The prices can depend on whether you have a spruce or fir; I buy mine from a local grower, and the Nordmann firs (smaller needles) are cheaper. The Nordmann spruce, with thicker needles, which don't tend to drop, are more pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I always get a Nordmann spruce. They used to be quite rare here in the Netherlands, but since a few years, spruces are all you can get. No prickly firs anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi £35 for a 5 foot tree , about 1.6m. After this height prices were just silly. They are grown commercially not too far from us (just a couple of miles) so its almost all profit. Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 My penfriend sent this one as he knows I have trouble with my other half every year about decorations. I went and bought some bows from Hobbycraft to stick on. Then OH helped me get all the decs down whoohoo. So here we have the normal one only the fairy/angel has fallen down so I stuck the wonky star on. Can't reach so it's staying wonky! Hmmm, I may have got my check ribbons in the wrong place. Oh well too late now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
