As you can see we put our tree up today. We have always had a real tree until three years ago but this one although not as nice in my opinion…Harry loves it much better than me!
I think he’s just glad he hasn’t to cut the bottom to fit a stand.
I think I might call at the garden centre & see if I can buy a real tree smelling tag!
Lydia is coming home tomorrow, her first Christmas not at home but when you have a partner you have to swop about so she having Mathews family this year.
My friends from my early teens called today all the way from Leicester….its always lovely to see them.
I agree. We have always had a real tree. I’m delighted that my son is carrying on with this tradition. A large tree was delivered today. Great excitement from local and Australian family members who are here for Christmas.
I just notice the bottom bit is a bit bare….i have a good few ornaments left must put a few more on the bottom. You will never convince me against a real tree but I agree at our time if life it’s easier so I shall enjoy it.
A very realistic artificial tree Pat. My pre-lit Christmas tree has gone to the local Charity Shop, as for the past couple of years the arthritis makes it too painful to dress the tree , So I have to be contended in seeing other 's beautiful trees !
This is a gorgeous artificial tree, Pat. I, too, miss having a real tree for the fragrance, mainly. Years ago when Ken worked felling trees in the woods for his cousin's post yard business we always had a huge (10 foot?) tree that he would bring home. Now we would have to buy one and they are outrageously expensive...especially for one the size of your artificial one. So, I have learned to content myself with our tiny 4-foot artificial tree. No needles to clean up, and my cats didn't try to climb that one last year! Hoping for the best in that regard this year! LOL
That’s a lovely tree Pat. We always used to have a real one too, until the last few years.
I know Leicester quite well having been born 11 miles away & I did my nurse training there.
It’s a beautiful full looking tree. I too have a faux tree nowadays. One reason I like it is because it has lights already attached. At our age I won’t go back to a real tree. I do miss going to a tree farm to cut on down.
Very pretty artificial tree! We’ve had one for several years now. I get my real pine smell from the 2 real wreaths I buy every year from my nephew’s fund raiser!
On my way back from our afternoon tea today I called in at the garden centre & bought pine smelling things to hang on the tree. Two on & I can smell them a bit but nothing like a real tree. Not unpleasant but I think I would have done better with a real
Wreath like @loweygrace
It's always good to catch up with old friends
