    New thread in preparation for all of 2015's fabulous trees!! :)

    The three tree rules:
    • Do not quote pics!
    • Images must be under 800 pixels wide and try to embed. Imgur.com is nice easy to use.
    • Minimum relevant discussion is okay, but "nice tree" type posts will just be deleted.

    Tree Archive
    All this forum's beautiful trees from previous years to inspire you:

    2009
    2010
    2011
    2012
    2013
    2014


    At the end of this year we will merge 2015's trees back in with the giant tree megathread. This way we keep all our old Christmas trees in the same place. :)

    Hey guys just a reminder of the OP.
    [*]Minimum relevant discussion is okay, but "nice tree" type posts will just be deleted.

    If you like a tree just thank the post rather than posting. I had to delete some nice tree posts. It makes it easier for us to snoop on all your trees if there's no chat interrupting the pics.

    Tree

    *I'll take a picture of the fully decorated version tomorrow*

    The finished product (see the wonky bottom branches where the toddler has already attacked :pac: ) plus the glass bowls of led lights and baubles I put in the kitchen.

    My 7 ft'er up at last, with the Reindeer poking its head in for the pic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 155 ✭✭emmagination


    It needs a bit more work, and some straightening up, but it's up!


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,014 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Ah lads the tree broke my heart putting it up. First it was wayyy too big for the normal spot we put it in. Then the homestore lights didn't work so we had to head there and get them replaced. But now that it's up I love it. It was all worth it.

    I have to attach the photos as they wont embed without going either really small or upside down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Ok nearly there !!

    This is by far my favourite tree. As you probably guessed from my name I like shiny things! :) so this is my purple and sliver tree purple lights and lots of glittery silver decorations :D

    My brown and cream tree will go up in dining room tomorrow !

    Ps need to get a new silver star mine got damaged in storage ... dam ... I'll have to go christmas decoration shopping tomorrow so !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,971 ✭✭✭SarahLil

    Where'd you get the tinsel that's going around the double doors? Green tinsel can be hard to find, non shiny green tinsel is even harder :D

    Looking overloaded this year! :D

    Musgraves 3.99 + vat for 6 foot length! I normally hate tinsel but this actually doesn't look or feel like tinsel at all and it's more flexible than a garland :)

    Wow everybody on here has such good taste in Christmas trees and decorations :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,810 ✭✭✭Calibos


    Got the Livingroom and Hall/Stairs done Sunday Night. Will try and get the Diningroom done during the week.

    Same tree as always. Herself upgraded the lights this year. Went out to get about 400. Came home with 1500. I nearly fell off the chair when I heard, looks deadly though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭Glitzgirl


    Christmas garden almost done !

    It's in need of a skirt and a train going round it.

    I have a total mish mash of decorations, most of them gathered over the years. This is a crochet one we were given as a wedding present.

    Newbridge alongside one of a pack we bought in Prague in 03 when we were broke and could only afford a tiny tree.

    Coca-cola bear from forever ago, still looking swell. Showing off my new lantern lights too.

    Cailin ag damhsa. Bought at the Royal Tara China closing down sale a long time ago.

    These could fit on my new tree, but they've always gone on the door so that's where they'll stay. Bought in Habitat in a January sale.
