To be fair I don't do decorations or a tree in my gaff.

The Doctor Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Last year I bought a wee living tree in a pot, decorated it, watered it, it was lovely. After Christmas I put it by my back door and it has thrived, it looks great. It's got new needles, although it's no bigger than it was last year. My wife says I need to buy a new one! She says that there's creepy crawlies living in that one and she doesn't want them in the house. Anyway, tree'll go up on the 13th or 14th probably and down on the 4th of Jan. I like Christmas trees.

Gershwin Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 My maw has a couple of artificial trees - I've never seen the appeal of real ones. They just make a mess. I'm my flat there is usually a bit of tinsel kicking around and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groot Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If I put up a Xmas Tree it's usually a few days before and it gts taken down when I can be bothered doing it just after New Year Its just me and the Fiance in the flat and we're at the outlaws during Xmas & New Year cos the flat's too pokey to have folk over. I see you're in the same boat as me Yvonne, 2nd Jan is my fiance's b/day, 3rd is the future Mother in Law and the 4th is my Stepdad, I've yet to see my Xmas bonus last to the 2nd week of January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incompetnce Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Personally I'm for a ban on all things Christmas related until 1st December. I'm talking it's like Christmas isn't invented at all until the 1st and then happily fades away after the 26th. Aside from that I don't usually do Christmas trees, maybe 2nd week in December I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
