    Amazing looks trees guys.

    We are 95% that we are going to go real tree so will have to wait a bit for the main one.

    Have 3 other ones up already so will send some pics later when finished.

    This is my 7ft Nebraska tree. I got the train set in Penney's to go around the base.

    That's a fabulous tree! How many lights have you on it?

    I'm trying to decide if I should get a new tree or if my current one is good for another year or 2.

    All the trees and lights look gorgeous, and really needed this year.

    I have 4 sets of the homestore and more warm white cluster lights on it and there is 480 in a box. I have it plugged into a smart socket so Alexa turns it on and off ☺️

    You all have such tasteful trees! Mine usually looks like someone ate 10 trees, partially digested them and then vomited them back up. :D

    We're in the middle of putting up our Christmas decorations right now.

    This morning we started on our Advent Calendars! :eek::pac:

    I hope it's OK to put this in a Christmas tree thread.

    Balsam Hill Canadian Blue Green Spruce 7ft pre-lit. It has an easy plug so you put the three pieces together and plug it in. That’s it.

    H'mm it's showing as a link. I've no clue how to embed the photo in the post.

    The Playmobil advent calendars are excellent, we got one for a couple of years, still put the figures out now (Santa could do with adding a few kg though)

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Hahaha, he does look pleased with himself! He is from M&S. I think it works as there are a good few cloth decorations on the tree and no real theme other than old fashioned. Every time I see it I smile at his little arms.

    Here's my bits (minus the chaos at the other end of the room!)

    My tree tells a story, ornaments from travels and friends. I'm not one for having a tree as a design feature.


    And I love your white picket fence too !
    Did you get it abroad as well ?

    Arnotts warehouse sale for €5 (down from 15). Wish I'd bought a second one as I'm a few panels short. It's way more expensive any place I can find it online but I'll search again in January.

    It's this one but this crowd won't deliver here https://www.towsure.com/festive-plastic-tree-skirt-with-reindeer-54-x-22cm

    We moved house this year so binned quite a few decorations, particularly our outside wicker reindeer etc. You can't see from the pic but the lights reflect beautifully on the lake outside the back of our house. We always do the kitchen in a tacky/memories from our childhood so its very colourful. I hope to get more pics of the rest of the stuff up but here's a taster.
