Christmas decoration

We have a pop-up, ready decorated tree, as the Bodach felt we should make an effort for the grandchildren ( we’ll be away over Christmas). If I were alone, I definitely wouldn’t bother.

I'm glad to hear that too, Eglantine.

We aren't hosting Christmas this year and I've gone right off the idea of decorating. I've done a small white one in the dining room and I've put up the prelit one on the landing - it's the big one that I can't be bothered with. You are right Lemongrove, it's the putting away.

We invested quite a bit in an artificial one but, to me, it just looks dead - even with the lights on. Real, non-drop ones are so expensive and still need taking to pieces.

I wonder whether our very traditional lounge would look good with the prelit birch twig thingy that is reduced at JL?

Eglantine glad that you had good news.

I haven’t done any decorating as yet, and this week doesn’t look good for doing it, as too much going on.
However, if no family were coming I would not bother with a tree or lights, but just a wreath on the door and a few garlands and cards.It’s all the putting away afterwards!

I've been quite law key for the last few years but having got good news from a hospital test a few days ago I find I've suddenly gone overboard! Twinkly lights everywhere and a gold Christmas tree.
Actually Im enjoying them all by myself.

I haven’t decorated yet. I’ve had a really nasty bug and whilst over it am still feeling totally washed out. We are out for the entire Christmas so it is very tempting not to bother, which will be the first Christmas ever!! Normally I decorate the entire house. Wondered about a natural Christmas and just pick holly and ivy from the garden and perhaps a tiny natural tree.

Oh do! Not a lot (bowerbird types come to mind here), but a few well-chosen bits will lift the spirit's. Deck the halls, but tastefully of course!!!
