Who's Got Their Christmas Tree Up?

[Mrs Depp]

So, that's it really, has anyone done theirs? I'll be first to confess.....

My name is Carol and I'm putting my tree up TODAY!

Phew! It felt good to get that off my chest!

 

[Hedgemag]

Nope not yet!!! Only gets covered in dust, leaving it as late as I can get away with. Bah Humbug!!! lol

 

[Mrs Depp]

Lol Maggie! I'm gonna have to let Amy 'help' decorate the tree I s'pose - and then re-arrange everything when she's in bed like I did last year lol!

 

[sonkie]

My tree has been up 2 weeks today.......we were gonna put up our lights on the front of the house so as it was raining the boys did the tree.

 

[Mrs Depp]

Aww lovely Sonkie! I keep promising myself I'll get lights for outside every year, still haven't managed it as there's no-one to put them up for me I do put lights inside in all the front windows though to try and make up for it lol!

Youre all mad!! lol Its FAR too early to have the tree up yet :giggle:

 

[Mrs Depp]

Hehe Starlight bah humbug lol!

Well folks, my tree is up and though I say so myself, it looks mighty fine! Now, where did I put those extension leads......?

 

[Starlight]

I REFUSE to put mine up until at least next weekend, at the earliest lol

Although I will be checking out the local shop this week for some lights n things for my windows

 

[wannabeminime]

Mine's up too! I love having the decs up ,and cant wait, i am such a big kid really!

 

[ChubLock]

No, not yet - well, we don't have one here in the uni halls!

I hope to go home in 2 weeks and help my boyfriend put his tree up, and decorate his place

 

[Mrs Depp]

I was driving home from work last night and there were a few houses with lights all over the outsides of them, but they're the ones that collect for charity every year. Must admit I do love all that though lol! I've always wanted to go to America just to see how everyone decorates their houses!

 

[Mrs Depp]

Mine's up too! I love having the decs up ,and cant wait, i am such a big kid really!

I used to love helping my mum to do all her decs, all over the living room ceiling as well as the tree. She still does it just for the grandchildren lol!

 

[Mrs Depp]

No, not yet - well, we don't have one here in the uni halls!

Aww Curvy, you should get one of those small ready decorated ones from Woolies or Argos just for your room.

I have promised the kiddos I will do a tree this year

Will put it up Christmas Eve (if time) and take it down Boxing Day before it gets grubby.

Nothing worse than having to take all those pine needles off to wash and sticking them all back on again with superglue. Takes and age don't you find?

 

[Mrs Depp]

Haha Karion, I just take my tree out of the box, put the 3 pieces together and re-arrange all the branches to resemble a proper tree. What takes me ages is the arranging of the baubles and lights lol!

My daughters got to put up two lots today, Nannys first, then ours!

 

[ChubLock]

Mrs Depp, it'll have to be one of those mini christmas trees, not much room in my hall room for all the mess

Can't wait to relish in the Christmas festivities with my boyfriend, tis our first Christmas together

Anyone know where I can get a sprig of mistletoe from?

 

[KD]

What takes me ages is the arranging of the baubles and lights lol!

you arrange the baubles and lights? You don't just throw them and see where they land?

Joking aside, when we do get our tree up before my students finish for the end of term, I just love seeing their faces.

I know that one or two tone colour schemes look rather lovely, but we go for a multi colour effect. It's full of interesting items dating back 50 years.

It started when my father found a tiny little beer bottle ornament when I was one or two years old. It was added to the tree, then something else new or found (if appropriate) added each year.

It takes an age to put them all on, but it brings back some happy memories and the kids just love exploring. it's certainly different and we get lots of oooos and ahhhhhs

Just got to find time to put the damn thing up!
