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

This is my tree. A very sad Christmas for us this year as my DH died very suddenly in October. After much discussion we decided as a family that we would go ahead with celebrating Christmas as what is the alternative …..

My tree looks the same as each year but this year was special because I got to show it off to my new first Great Grandson!

We’ve just done ours. It was rather bushier than we’d bargained for!

My tree. Decorated with help from my DD who had a geography lesson while reading all the names on the momento baubles/hanging shapes. Each year since 2002 I bought something for the tree, many times one from each location visited. Brings back lovely memories each Xmas.

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!

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

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

Small but beautiful 😊 Happy Christmas everyone.

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

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

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.

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

Here’s mine.

Happy Christmas one and all 😀

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

LindaPat Mon 15-Dec-25 17:51:22

Here’s our main tree! ( We love Christmas so we have 3 trees 🤭) xxx
