    Thought I'd post a few more seeing as this is only the second time in living memory that there has been the possibility of Xmas Tree and Snow in the same shot. (First was a Stephens Day dusting about 8 or 9 years ago)

    Despite being disappointed with the amount of snow we got in my town compared to the rest of the East Coast, roofs, paths and hedges are still white whether they have 3 or 23 inches on them. This is going to be a magical White Christmas. Mr Crosby, you needn't dream anymore! Mr Dean Martin finally decided to, 'Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!'

    I'm ridiculously excited. This is my first year with my own place. I already have Christmas duvet covers and Christmas place mats! Every couple of days I talk to my housemate about how we should decorate the place. She's excited but not QUITE as excited as me. This is an email exchange we had yesterday (after me reading a thread in here):

    Me: Can we get a Christmas train that drives around a track around the bottom of the Christmas tree and plays Christmas music?

    Housemate: STOP!

    Me: :( Choo choo!

    Lidl Xmass Tree Stand that I was talking about earlier on.

    Fantastic bit of kit and well worth the 15 euro.

    Pictures and small amount of chat allowed
    Landslide Victory for discussion allowed! Please ensure that it is indeed discussion e.g. where did you get your tree decorations, what material did you use for x etc.

    "Love your tree! xoxo" is not discussion, and should be expressed via the thanks button :)


    I'll edit the first post with the main thread rules, but just to re-iterate them:

    1. NO QUOTING PICS! - It's jarring and takes up space. Please don't quote someone's pic. Simply refer to them by name or remove the img tags. Quoted pic = instant post delete with no warning or notification.

    2. Please keep your photos below 800 pixels wide. - Giant photos are very annoying and disruptive. If you can't resize, simply post the picture as a URL link and people can click through to see. We will be editing peoples post to enforce this one, without warning or notification.

    3. Relevant discussion is allowed on thread, but "Love your tree" style posts break the flow of the thread are unnecessary. Spread the love with the thanks button instead.


    No need to respond to this post, please continue with the Christmas tree-ing :)

    Garden Christmass tree is up and lit...thank god.


    Plastic silver star from Ikeas for 2 euro.

    Drilled a small hole in the bottom of it and wrapped a bit of garden wire around it and the tree top,to prevent it from blowing off in any winds.
