I saw one of those, it had something like an upturned umbrella underneath to catch the snow!:pac:

I left the shop without it for the same reason you did,too many trees already.



I found it in Raheny, in a hardware shop, bit pricey though at 95 Euro.
Having 2 indoor cats, all that snow falling was another reason I didn't buy it.:eek::D

Hey Hot Lips where abouts is the hardware in Raheny

Two indoor cats here too. No pretty glass baubles on our tree Everything is shatterproof or made of fabric. The fat one (part Maine Coon so he weighs a tonne) tried to climb the inside of my lovely tree from Woodies and broke the very first branch he put his weight on! Have to keep that side turned into the corner now!

three cats two dogs cause havoc, but over the years i have accumulated about 4 trees worth of pretty glass baubles, and the set of 'catproof' ones has deminished to about half a plastic bag full

I honestly couldn't even justify spending money on glass ones with these two around :pac:

However, it's not only cats that cause havoc with Christmas trees!

i most deffo hope to join you, re-arrangement permitting. said re-arranging has suffered a setback in that the mother has banjaxed her back. now i shall continue on my own, but with her mooching, always looking to sit, unable to step over piles of boardgames that i 'temporarily' stick in the middle of the floor :pac: it shall be 'interesting'

I think there can be a lot of 'what would people think' mentality about decorations sometimes.. If you want to decorate for Christmas, just do it when you want!
There will always be someone who thinks any day before Christmas eve is too early, you can't please everyone!

Cannot wait until next week!

It's in Raheny Village, between the Library and the original Post Office (now moved to inside Super Value).

I'm still getting people saying to me "You're putting your tree up a day before December 1st!? You already have your presents bought?! But it's soooo early!!"

1. It's NOT early, it'll be barely four weeks away by then.

2. I'll have the last laugh when you're racing around crowded shops Christmas week looking for presents, trying to find a decent Christmas tree and looking for replacement lights because you've discovered the ones you just got down from the attic don't work- and I'm at home admiring my tree and eating mince pies.
Mwa ha ha.

Well as the title says..... I am itching to put my Christmas tree up for the last few days I know its too early. This time next week I MIGHT get away with it but with all the christmas talk, trees up in the shops, songs playing in the supermarket and ads on the telly ..... I WANT MY CHRISTMAS TREE UP NOW:P :P :P

I have 3 trees but last year was a disaster. We had just got a new cat (well he got us ) He went insane pulling the trees down.(Hes an indoor cat)
Bearing in mind that it was my 1st time putting up decorations for maybe 15 years,I was dissapointed. I really wanted twinkley!!

So this year Im putting 2 trees outside and also putting lights on the real trees in the garden. Ive been buying them all year

I really really want the snowing tree but they are pricey
If I do get it I'll put in the bay window in the front bedroom,that way insane cat cant get to it

Im sorting out all my stuff tomorrow and hope to be ready to switch on by Dec 8th

Finally got my tree up at the weekend.Really delighted with it. Have some lovely lights in the window that I got in IKEA. They're snowballs and in the daytime when not lit they look like snow!!!



I'll put up some pics when I get a chance.
Oh it's so cosy having the house (almost) Christmassy - still have other rooms to decorate yet!
