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

Pantglass you are not late to the party until Christmas Day, surely?

My tree is coming in today.
I think it's good to bring it in late as it lasts through to 12th night better.

Well here I am Tail end Charlie, I’d never be first in class on this one as I don’t even think about Christmas until after my birthday on the 5th!

This is a new tree which moves around PG Towers as the mood takes me and my Batman feels like it…🤬. Unfortunately my glass baubles, wot I made, are slightly too heavy for the branches which have had to be twined up to a nail behind the picture - what a ffaff 🤦‍♀️

I’ve been promised a simple, but more substantial, driftwood effort for next year which will be a joy to us both 🥰

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this thread, I was unable to comment before as my old account 'Rocketstop' went pear shaped and I've had to get a new account.
It's good to be back ! I wanted to tell you all how lovely your trees are looking, so many different shapes and styles.

At last, I can show you mine, ably decorated in my absence.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Wed 17-Dec-25 19:44:18

We have the same uplighter Clarehhh and I looked across at it and added the extra height for your tree. Blimey! Magical I’ll bet.

In fact so many gorgeous trees.
I’ve really enjoyed seeing them all. As the rain hammers down here, outside on the windows. Brr!

Here's my Birch Trees which is in the kitchen. I think this is its 3rd year, I'm not altogether happy with it, given it's developed a Leaning Tower of Pisa attitudesad I've spoken to it with a "you'd better shape up or you'll be repaced with an evergreen next year" warning. Not a blind bit of notice goes it's own wayhmm

Happy Christmas all- here’s ours the 1st one taken this year about 3pm just after finishing decorating it.
2nd photo was same tree but last years effort. I’ve included it as it shows the lights off better I think because its taken later on in the evening.

Tree day and night. Small one this year. Wish I could post the smell😊

The cats are behaving beautifully in the face of ‘The’ tree!

Clarehhh Tue 16-Dec-25 20:40:14

Mine 7/8 ft

Ladyleftfieldlover Tue 16-Dec-25 15:44:30

Here is mine. There’s also a photo of a new angel I bought this year - we’ve called her Gigantua. We decided she’s too big to go on the tree so last years is being used. Before that we had an angel for decades which younger son now has in London.

All lovely trees and particularly like Chaitriona's

Jalyn Cressy CanadianGran Thank you.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 16-Dec-25 10:34:25

Our tree is in its pot now being allowed to relax after being trussed like a Turkey, then we will decorate it. Christmas music on sitting having coffee.

The room smells utterly delicious.

CanadianGran Tue 16-Dec-25 04:01:01

I haven’t seen mine yet since I am away visiting my daughter and family,. Eldest son at home has cut one from the forest, and DH has put it up and strung the lights. I will decorate it when I get home late4 this week.

CanadianGran Tue 16-Dec-25 03:57:36

Poppy red, so sorry to hear this, and I’m glad you are doing your best to celebrate Christmas.

NotSpaghetti Tue 16-Dec-25 00:23:53

Dear Shelflife - that struggle makes it even more beautiful because it was so much harder.
Thank you for sharing it!
Something I think you have really achievedsomethinghere. So pretty.

I do hope you have a lovely Christmas in spite of any difficulties.

Peaseblossom Mon 15-Dec-25 23:39:02

Huggie that is very pretty indeed.

Peaseblossom Mon 15-Dec-25 23:37:08

That's lovely! Clever clogs. Well done.

Peaseblossom Mon 15-Dec-25 23:28:30

They all look lovely. I'm just about getting into the Christmas spirit now. This is mine. Teal and silver decorations.
