Christmas Tree - real or artificial

[Richard A Thackeray]

Treeless

An 'imaginary' one?

No tree here.

It seems most of our family and friends have minimised or eliminated all the preparations and planning for just one day. I find it a huge relief to leave it all behind.

No tree or any other ornaments here either.
I'll be working most of the festive season anyway, I live alone, the living room is taken up by 2 bikes and a cat tree
However, plenty of Christmas home baking for gifting will keep Santa's tale alive.

November 30th seems very early to be talking about it though!

Not if you go to the shops or see the decorations on many people's homes.

Artifical. A good one will last decades.

But have to live with something that looks sh!t for years.😉

No space for a tree on a boat.

You need a tree on a proper boat!🤣

Go to the Forrest and cut one down and get it up before dawn! ⛵⛵⛵

That doesnt seem to stop most Barratt Home buyers.

In the queue at Lidl on Thursday the lady behind me had 2 real trees (just about) balanced on her trolley. I was intrigued, and on exit I wandered to where the trees were stacked in the foyer - £19.99 each seemed to be a very good deal. I didn't buy though

Just glue some pine needles to the mast and drape some tinsel around it. Sorted.

We've got a giant Bonsai tree in the back garden...

Surely the oxymoron thread would be a better place for that?! 😇

Artificial - same one for 20 years now, third set of lights though 🎄

Real, all seven of them, plus one of those miniature trees in a pot for the downstairs toilet, which doesn’t really count.

We've got a real one in a pot. It's quite a few years old but is still quite small. This is probably because I cruelly refused to pot it up and kept it confined in a small pot. But this spring it was really showing signs of dying so I grudgingly gave it a new pot. Through the year it has put on lots of new growth, so it's likely to get a bit bigger. But it needn't think I've become a soft touch. That pot is going to have to last a few years.
