Xmas Tree Farms
-
27-10-2013 12:20am#1We put a 10ft Artificial in the Living room and up till 2011 we had an older 7ft artificial in the Dining room.
Last year the dining room tree was going up late (by late I mean actually waiting till December to put up the trees
) and upon removing it from its box we decided that although it had served us well for many a year, it was looking decidedly worse for wear.
We re-boxed it with the intention of getting a real tree. Circumstances delayed that and we didn't get around to getting a real tree till a week before Christmas (I know, the shame, and we call ourselves lovers of Christmas!!) Obviously the selection was poor by that stage. Despite that we made the best of what we ended up getting and tbh it still looked great and the smell was heavenly.
This year though I want to do the Tree booking thing at a tree farm. ie. Where you head up early, pick the perfect tree, its tagged with your name and you come back up closer to christmas and pay for it and they cut it there and then for you.
Are there still places that do that. I live in Bray. When should one go up to pick the best trees. Late Nov? Early December, earlier than that, later than that??1

I can't offer any help but that tree is gorgeous!! And with the snow on the bushes outside...... Filled me with Christmas cheer :P
Ah yes, the magical Christmas of 2010! Walking home from the shops with snow crunching underfoot, looking in all the windows at the trees all the way home with the Home Alone Jingle playing in my Head.....
Will probably never be bested... 0 -
