Who has their xmas tree up yet? I'll be using the fake tree this year but I can't decide when to put mine up.

yes we have ours up, it has been up for about a week now

as is a fake tree as well it takes me at least an hour to put it up and that is without decorating it.

Yep, fake one up.

All 1" of it. That's right 2.5 cm

Took me all of 2 seconds to place it on on my mantle

Still not as bad/sad as this one

Yes. Xmastree is up at my sons place, where we have family Xmas every year, as they have more room for all of us.

Stawka, our Xmas tree is just as small as yours. Lights up and changes colours. A lovely gift from a generous friend. Will take a photo when it gets dark.

I love the tree, Stawka. Mine might end up looking that within a few hours of being up.

Impressive tree, Erica. I can almost feel your excitement as the time draws nearer

Tomorrow might be the day, then. I need to find the decorations which are in the shed, somewhere, although, I might not need to find the star to put on top. I cleared a space for it go, then went out to pick up a cooling mat for the dog, a clam shell for the brats to splash around in, and, some peastraw mulch [I;m going to suffer for lifting that] and seedlings for the veggie patch. I came home without the clam shelll or the cooling mat [should have written a list] but I did remember everything else, only to find that one of the cats had peed on the floor, on the spot that I had just cleared.On the top of my tree could be a bengal cat ......

Nothing like that fresh pine smell, Tommy

Tommy, up until a few years ago, I used to always have a live, um, newly deceased tree. When I switched to fake and was whinging about how much I missed the scent, DD suggested that I hang those pine thingys on the tree.

There's a gum tree out the front that should burst into bloom in the next couple of weeks. Along will come the rainbow lorikeets, and the Christmas beetles (ooh, shiny!), and the cockatoos and the possums can take turns at being the angel on top, depending on whether it's day or night. There's the various decorations taken care of, and I won't have to vacuum up the pine needles.

I don't celebrate Christmas, but it's a local custom and I'm happy to join in the fun.

Yes, I've got a "Christmas tree", it's just that it's not a import from Old World Europe.

sounds like the perfect xmas tree, ecar,

It gives me everything I want from a Christmas tree, and come January I wont have to drag it down to the kerb to have it taken away.

Best of all, I didn't have to ask the tree if it was the one that wanted to be the Christmas tree, it answered the question for me.
