I’m sure there are some beautiful trees out there, trees which tell a story with decorations gathered over the years, elegant trees, big tree, little trees, real trees, artificial trees- well I thought it might be nice to put them all together on one thread!
Here’s my tiny tree - a far cry from the 6 footers we used to have when the children lived at home.
But also safely out of reach of dogs- I have an abiding memory of Jock, my first (and only boy) greyhound who took one glance at our floor standing (big) tree, and clearly thought” Oh good, indoor plumbing” 😱😱😱
So bring out your trees tchsmile

I really like your ‘branch’ tree Chaitriona.

LadyGaGa Mon 15-Dec-25 22:33:29

Here’s mine. Quite proud of it! I handmade every decoration- I even knitted tinsel (I need to get out more 😂)

I haven't put a tree uo for many years just a few festive ornaments. Everyone's trees look lovely but I was never that bothered once the children left home. I don't miss putting it up a d taking it down.

Thankyou NotSpaghetti. After much huffing and puffing we got it into the house and secure in its holder. Husband has Alzheimers so jobs he would usually find relatively easy do present a
challenge!! However it was well worth the effort. so pleased with it.

Here’s mine again with lights on this time. I forgot before.

Chaitriona Mon 15-Dec-25 20:12:03

For the last few years, I have made a tree out of bare branches cut from the garden.

No very big, but lots of toys for the GCs

Maybe a bit OTT with silver! Just put on most of what I have.

I do have some festive decorations out, but no tree this year.

Grandmadinosaur Mon 15-Dec-25 17:38:56

Here’s mine.

Happy Christmas one and all 😀

This tree is so blindingly bright it has to live in the conservatory and be viewed through double glazing! I've been too busy to put the indoor one up yet.

Granof5 Mon 15-Dec-25 16:48:11

Mine went up yesterday, a bit late for me this year

Smintie Mon 15-Dec-25 16:42:57

Small but beautiful 😊 Happy Christmas everyone.

Queenofhearts Mon 15-Dec-25 16:40:47

Here's mine

Thisismyname1953 Mon 15-Dec-25 16:39:54

I’m not at home but this is my DIL tree.

Allira Mon 15-Dec-25 16:36:46

We went out to buy a pre-lit tree but weren't keen on the ones we saw.
Last year's little tree is still outside in its pot, getting well watered today today!
