Iām 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!
Hereās 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 thoughtā Oh good, indoor plumbingā š±š±š±
So bring out your trees 
Ours. The easy way. No more vast trees dropping needles and requiring water but a prelit slot together. I miss the real ones but more what it represented. Decorating it with the children on the half day at the end of term having bought fish and chips for lunch to give us strength.
Oops complete with tinsel and chocolates.
Thought Iād add the dining room one. I like a little bit of Christmas in there as well. Not too much as it can interfere the Boxing Day Mob! š

Sadly we have no room for a tree. We have an enormous monstera in the living room. I could decorate that I suppose.
We have a monster Monstera, too! Itās been in the bay window for nearly 40 years, and evidently likes it there. The other day I had to perform fairly drastic surgery on it, since it was sprawling all over the place, and taking up room weāll be needing for the š.
Every few years Iāve taken even more drastic action - taken a few massive cuttings, complete with any aerial roots, and started again, with fresh compost.
Believe it or not, hardly any of the 3+ foot cuttings have ever failed. I usually keep them (with roots) in a bucket of water for 24 hours before planting, so they will have had a good drink.
Hereās ours - post surgery. We actually call it the Hippo Tree!
Iām not at home, this is my daughters.
Tiny flat, tiny tree.
Hereās ours, much smaller that the ones we had in our previous house, not much room for a big one in the cottage.
I love the way the sun cast the silhouette in the morning.
I put up our twig tree yesterday afternoon. Bought over 20 years ago. Pre-lit so all I had to do was retrieve it from its box carefully. I did notice how Himself put it away so neatly. Probably why itās survived all these years.
It was calming to sit beside it last night with my thoughts. I admit to filling up a bit. The soft warm lights were soothing. Christmas is such an emotional time isnāt it?
Mine. Love Christmas š²
These trees are all lovely.
We put ours in a different position in the room this year, I'm not sure I like it there but it's too late to move it now.
Hereās mine
Here's mine!
