Xmas tree

[pandora]

Have been thinking on & off all year that now I have a sideboard in my lounge rather than a shelving unit that I would put a 4ft tree on it rather than putting up my humongous 7ft one that almost overpower my lounge & takes over the room , taking a good few hrs to construct & decorate .
Not do sure now , really don't know which to go with :$

Oooh, personal choice here babe I have a massive one I put in the hallway & just trim the living room with nice ornaments etc ... We did have one in the LR too but it is just overkill ... whatever you choose will look lovely & next year we can be the fairies on the top of our trees, lol xxx

Dunno about you Denise but I'm straight lol !
Seriously I live in a little mid terrace & my lounge is really the only place I can have my tree .
I used to decorate round the fire place with a Santa train & winter house ornaments but no longer have a fire place .

Lol, I am a bit slow .. had to read this 3 times before I got the joke, doh ... gosh I think I am straight too, either that or a damn good actress
I think then, in your house I would go for the 4' tree ... less over powering & chance of it getting knocked over ... always a consideration in ours with 4 littlies around. xxx

I love a big one lol but if you are short on space how about one of those lovely elegant tall slim ones, just to remind you how beautiful you are now. (bloody nora that sounds like it came from Cilla Blacks Blind Date lol)

When I bought the big tree , some 6 or 7 years ago , it was a displaced perception led me to buy it . I have 8 ft ceilings & a lovely bay window so thought it would be perfect & it is in some ways . It's a bit Marmite , love it or hate it . It has to be made branch by branch & so it doesn't intrude too much I only make the front part of the bottom half .
But I love it , just not the effort to make it lol

Well Ive moved to a bungalow and my big tree used to go in the front room.I have a through lounge/dining room now and have bought a 6ft slim one to go in a corner.I will put my fave ornaments/lights on it and decorate the fireplace.I might get a beautiful poinsettia for the conservatory where the christmas cactus are all flowering!I always have forced hyacinths too for the wonderfull scent.Happy Christmas whatever you decide to do!

Don't really know what to say to you hunni ... no one should be alone at Christmas ... where do you live? Maybe there is someone on here in the same boat ... why don't you open a thread asking if anyone would like to have Christmas day with you ... bet you would be inundated with replies xxx :sigh:

 

[Josiegirl]

I decided to rearrange the furniture yesterday just so that I could put my Christmas tree in a better place. I am completely knackered now and it isn't even December yet :wave_cry:

 

[wizzbang]

I live alone and am a miserable bugger so I dont put christmas decorations up.
I think that all the tatty cheap decorations in the shops etc cheapen christmas. I would rather celebrate it quietly giving pressies to family and friends. I'm not even making christmas dinner this year as I think I will be on my own.
Not sure yet but I like being on my own with my dog so I imagine I will just walk with him in the afternoon.
