Hi Ladies,

When are you looking to put your Christmas tree up? I am going to put mine up on the 1st December.

Just being nosey too what is your tree colour theme, mine is silver and gold?

Char

We're putting ours up the second weekend of December so maybe the 17th/18th, the trouble is it takes so long as I've got loads of other bits that go up too.

Our theme in the lounge coordinates with the decor (yes Lise I am sad! ) so is lime green and brown, I made all of the tree decorations myself last year and some other bits, I also have a tree in the hall which has blue & silver decorations on, a tree in the kitchen (a mini one) with cream decorations on, and red decorations in the playroom again to match the decor of the rooms

^^ they all sound really tacky but they're not, honestly

I'm so excited this year, Libby understands whats going on so it's going to be so special

We had blue and silver last year but am thinking of going back to pink x
We need a new fairy for the top too x
Tree goes up about a week before Christmas and comes down New Years Day xx

I think I did mine mid Nov last year I'l prob do it mid-end Nov again this year as I dont want to be doing it when im 39 wks pg. I think i'l feel ready for baby once house cleaned (you have to deep clean house before you put tree up, its the law!), tree up and all presents are wrapped underneath it. So if thats all done by end Nov i'l have 2 weeks before baby to chill.... thats the plan anyway! Im working up until 38 wks pg so we shall see!

My theme is childrens tack Green tree, red and silver tinsel, dif colour bobbles and loads of lil childrens ornaments on tree. My mum got me one every xmas growing up eg penguins, angels, rudolphs, singing santa's, wooden soldiers etc. Im doing the same for Caitlin so when she leaves home she will have about 20-30 individual bobbles of her own.

We normally put ours up first weekend of dec but were away for couple days at the beginning sep so will do it b4 Pete goes bk to work x
red blue silver and gold colours x

Ollies tree will be going up on the 30th November because Oh's in work on the 1st december and ours will be going up the monday after thinkits the 5th because thats his next day off.

Ollies tree is blue and silver and ours is going to be silver with white lights if I get my way or an all out tack fest if oh gets his way lol

Ours usually goes up first week of December. Theme was purple gold and silver last year, might change it up a bit this year, see how i feel when I get the tree out.

i want it up before the 1st cos that's my birthday and umm we don't have a theme........just general obscene christmassyness

You are going to let Caitlin leave with you for 20 or 30 years are you mad?

We have a white tree and we either have black decorations on it or a mixture of turquoise pink and purple. OH wants to get a green tree so I have explained to him that I will new decorations, if we do get green tree will probably go for red and gold

I'll put my tree up whenever Ive recovered from having little man but it's normaly the 1st or 2nd weekend in December.

I will probably get the boys to help me put it up the first weekend as we have all three that weekend!
I'll get the mince pies out and chocolate log I'll put the lights on and then let them make a mental tinsel and bourbal mess! Then when they go to bed I'll rearrange it all and make it look nice lol!

Ours is red and gold on the whole.

I tend to get a bit fed up by the time Christmas comes around so last year I took it down the day after boxing day!

We put up first weekend in dec, might do first though as I'm home.

We have two trees
One is White lights Disney ornaments and red
The other is fibre optic White silver glass baubles silver tinsel

But this year I'm going to change them over as I think the White lights with White and silver wil look great

Oh no one is allowed to touch my trees, last year I let the kids and a couple of things got broke, this year they will get to put the kids stuff on after I've put breakables on, high up away from cats and Lucas lol

does anyone elses christmas tree always look a mess??? i mean, not because of elijah but because of me i can never get it to look 'proper' it always just looks like a random pile of decorations and giddyness

i need to hone my festivity-atmosphere-making because just now it's no good!

Colour theme?

We will probably be still stuck with our second hand 1000 year old (it feels like) tree and decs. Ive meant to buy new stuff for 2 years now but im guessing itll be next year again. So disney baubles and kids baubles bought by year

Ours normally goes up the first weekend in December and the theme started out as red and gold but there's quite a bit of silver and black as well now. However, I'm guessing we won't be having a tree or presents round it this year because Jamie will just destroy it . I suppose I could put it up in the dining room but we don't really spend much time in there.

we are getting a little one and putting it on top of the bookshelf (its a very big bookshelf, in fact this computer is on one of the shelves:lol:)

Well my mum had to put up with me until I was 25, minus 3 years at uni when I still came home most weekends with a bag of dirty laundry for her to do lol!

Seriously though Caitlin prob already has 5-6 ornaments as people got her 1st xmas ones etc as well as the ones we got her. Some years my mum gave me more than one too so I prob had about 30+ when I left home

Ours has white, silver and dark grey decorations. Some are round and some are tear drop shaped.

We also have a tall narrow tree as its easier to pop 'wherever' than trying to squeeze around it for a month.

I think we will be putting it up mid December. x

I have an artificial one with pink and silver decorations that goes in the window at the front of our house. But in the room were we spend most of our time we get a big real one and the theme is rather spectacular and consist of the decorations the kids have ever made (out of loo roll and foil) and stuff I've collected over the years (none of it matches). Every other day one of the cats pulls it over so we have to throw all the stuff back on it! My sis always laughs and says it's worst dressed tree in town.... But we love it and it's ours xxxxx

Haha mine is really boring to all the others lol. We do have nice balls etc x I would love a real tree but I react to it lol and I could possibly let oh decorate it lol
