Loving all the wonderful Christmas trees on this thread! I really wanted to get a white or pink coloured one this year but decided traditional is best :smile: There's quite a few baubles on there but I think the cute bows make it look rather pretty. Just curious as to whether you guys put a star at the top of your tree or an angel. We have alternated it year by year. Here's our tree. Hope you like it.



thats the best tree i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!
I know, I know, its a lot but its so darn pretty and the pics just dont do it justice. To be fair there were like 7 times as many originally..

I love it :biggrin: Very pretty. A tree might look skinny, or it might look old and falling apart (like mine :lol: ) but if you decorate it nice and put lots of effort in, it can still look amazing :h:

Thanks! Its been my mum's forever and Ive never seen one as pretty/angelic looking - theyre all cartoonish/scary now. I just hate that the pics dont really show how pretty it is with all the lights on different layers near the middle as well and all sparkly and full of different baubles...oh well only so much you can do

I'm loving all the pictures, I'll get a pick of mine up asap :biggrin:


We never have a 'proper' christmas tree, it's just a weird tradition/habit in our family. We normally use whatever plant we have around the house and stick some tinsel on it, but this year we bought a new little plant to use :h: You can't see the lights very well, but there are red LEDs on the tree and white/blue LED stars around the bottom. :redface:
This year my family has two trees one in the dining room and one in the lounge. Neither set of photos has come out briliantly but I still love them. We have varied decorations from many different decades that all come together to make a rather interesting (to me at least) tree.

Here is my christmas tree :grin:



I love it because it has so much history! It is fake, but it has been our christmas tree since my Mum was 10 (so 52 years- yup she's pretty old!).



This random ugly santa is especially dear to us. It has a lovely story behind it: my Auntie was a baby during the war (born 1940) and on the christmas eve of her first Christmas, this was put into her pram (left outside a shop when my Granny went in with the baby). They never found out who by, but it’s clearly handmade and was such a wonderfully Christmassy thing to do!



And this is the angel that was on the tree when Mum was a child. It used to go on ours but I was a little scared of it (:grin: ) so for my fifth birthday my main Christmas present was the gorgeous Angel now at the top. The bauble next to it unfortunately disintegrated 3 years ago but we keep it near the tree each year for tradition's sake. It was on my Grandad's christmas tree before he was born - and he was born in 1906, so that's one very old bauble!



And possibly the star of the show… it’s a Molly Weasley Christmas jumper! This bauble is a Christmas present to my friend, who I met via TSR (seriously, the reason I love this site so much is the number of amazing people I’ve met – in particular this girl, who is now one of my closest friends. Thanks TSR!). Unfortunately it only arrived today so can’t get to hers for Christmas, so I am keeping it on the tree til we can post it. (The colours are for Ravenclaw and the initial for her first name btw).

There's nothing quite like the smell of a pine tree. Ours has really started to smell in past few days, gorgeous every time I walk past it!
