How do you dress your tree?

[Bellenden Belle]

Much discussion has taken place in the Belle-Carnell household. Already I have been forced to rehome my fairy (soon to be resident at the Mike P's abode) but today my coloured fairy lights were also deemed tacky!

Well!

So my question dear forumites is - how do you dress yours? And let's have some pictures too!

[????]

Tweed

[Santerme]

Mess undress, of course

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Brogue laces.

[????]

Spats

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Attach collar studs all over.

[Sue]

Orange slices dried out over the radiator on a disentangled wire hanger, cinnamon sticks, both the former hung on natural twine, green ribbon, cream ribbon.

White lights.

Star on top.

But don't listen to your family, coloured fairy lights are definitely back on trend :)

[????]

Pinky ring...that should cover it

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Attach baubles to sock suspenders and drape at tasteful intervals.

[Sue]

Actually my tree usually dresses on the left :))

Our tree "Fairy" is a customised Barbie, she's called the "tree bitch" & has a Marlboro lite as a wand

She's an essential part of Christmas here at W**F Mansions & we let the kids dress the tree which produces some eye popping looks

Christmas is allowed nay supposed to be tacky. That's the rules.

I leave mine in the ground where nature intended it to be...http://img6.travelblog.org/Photos/43463/289435/t/2464678-Lots-of-Christmas-Trees-are-growing-here-0.jpg

I put lots of christmasy things around though...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2270/2128764238_84bf17aeca.jpg

these are not mine but you get the idea...http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g77/claire_smc/307781690_690ab724b0_o.jpg

silver twigs over the fireplace with small glass baubles, etc...

[Strawbs]

Ours is blue and silver, Jaws did all the decorating.. blue tinsel, silver tinsel (not too much), crystal, glass, silver or white decorations, some fake snow and some white lights - looks beautiful!

[sophiesofa]

Mine has tinsel, home made origami ball decorations, home made pom poms, white lights, a paperchain, some flocked baubles, lots of snowflakes, basically anything tacky + a really cute ceramic penguin with a broken foot. I LOVE CHRISTMAS

Does anyone know where i can buy a fibre optic tree or an artificial tree with all the decorations already on it ? I really cant be arsed with any of it but am trying to make an effort . Thanks

We have a white tree from M&S, it was free, we came home and found it in our hall in a box addressed to the GMTV studios a few years ago, how the postman got our address in underhill road mixed up with them i have never fathomed out, anyway we rang the GMTV offices and they didn't seem to know what we were on about, but when we switched on the tv one morning a few days later, lorraine kelly was sitting in the studio surrounded by white christmas trees, so now our tree is named lorraine and is dressed every year in cream and silver balls ( this story should be made into a film by film 4)

Lorraine the christmas tree

[daizie]

I had a 'free' tree from woolworths last year :))

Here you go, woolworths still exists on line, had a look and they have one in the sale, down from ?45 to ?18, quick snap it up, go to wwww.woolworths.co.uk and just search christmas tree's its a 3ft gold one (tried to attache web page but it was to large)

[daizie]

Thank you spark , but given the state of the postal service i doubt it will turn up before christmas. Quite liked the idea of a gold one . Might just give it a miss this year .

[daizie]

brum, i think i had that one the year before last . I flung it back in the cupboard after christmas and it never worked again. Thats the thing isn't it , storing the effing things properly .

[brum]

Didn't realise about Woolworths on-line. Hope you get one - particularly at that low-low price!
