Mine won't go up til Christmas Eve, then down on 12th night......................bit 'traditional' I know but I feel it makes Criggy more special.
I do know people who are so fed up with the tree that it's down the day after Boxing day.

I don't have a Christmas tree. Haven't had one for about 25 years

Age 76 and this is my 1st ever Christmas tree....... donated and decorated by my daughter and granddaughter

No tree as such, but I have a pot of paperwhite narcissus just coming into flower, a traditional red poinsetta in full 'bloom', a hyacinth in a glass that will be blooming by the time the paperwhites are finishing - and a Christmas Cactus that decided it would be a month early this year. Normally it would be the centrepiece of my living room - it is a waterfall of flowers for a good 3 - 4 weeks but it's dropping its last few flowers now, looking ugly, forlorn and exhausted, so it's in my bedroom where it can sulk and recover in private.

I also have quite a delightful 'thing' which is lots of dry bits of twigs glued and stapled together in a vague representation of a tree, brushed over with white emulsion, and battery-powered led lights coiled through it . Am going to dig it out tomorrow and add some pva glue and silver glitter, and tie or hot-glue some glittered alder cones and little wooden snowflakes to it, to perk it up.

No it’s our Fairy with a light up her dress to keep her bottom warm. 🥳

That's what Welshie does as well

I went to a lot of bother this year.

Wow. £2600 for the worst tree ever!
