    It's that time of year again when the decorations go up on O'connell street, unfortunatly people are
    subjected to that godawful christmas tree that stands beside the spire, another ugly landmark).

    Anyway since people have come up with some funny names for the spire over the years I was thinking
    that maybe the posters of boards could come up with some funny names for the tree.
    All I could think of so far was tacky.,
    (not very catchy) but if you have any better names to call this ugly pile of crap then be my guest.

    I haven't been on O'Connell Street lately.

    Is there actually something wrong with the tree, or are you just a Grinchy f*ck?

    Cmon, don't you miss the tall Evergreen tree that they used to decorate with coloured christmas lights, now that was a real crhistmas tree instead of this pound shop replacement.

    I dont think it looks too bad. Although it would certainly look better if there were more colours.


    As for the spire, I dont see what everyone's gripe is. Nelson's Pillar was pretty much the same, except it was made of stone and had a little guy on top.

    If I put a guy on top of the Spire will you all stop moaning?

    I used to love O'Connell Street at Christmas time. The big old trees with traditional lights and a traditional Christmas tree in the center. Now it just looks incredibly tacky.

    The tree is OK, but needs to be cleaned. I do miss a real tree sometimes though.

    The spire is awesome though.
