I REFUSE to put up a Christmas tree. I also don't put up lights or send out cards.

Sally put a tree up once. I told her if she was going to put one up, I wasn't taking it down.

It sat there until February when she finally got sick of looking at it. :)

C'mon, it's for the fun of it, we've just got the one tree, no huge decorations, though i threatened to shit my neighbours off and really go nuts with it (thankfully it was a hollow threat). Or are you just against the whole "commercialisation" exercise?

This is the tree from work. I think it is pretty cool how it grows side ways.

For a long time, my parents didn't have or do a Christmas tree...so mum would variously decorate various household objects - most common was tinsel wrapped around the fireplace flu, a couple of years we had the Christmas post - a 4X4 supporting post bolted to a C-Portal wrapped in tinsel, and then one year is was just a bit of holly on a nail on a post.

It can never be said that mum didn't at least make an effort :lol:

Did you set the timer so you could stand next to it, or did a friend take the picture for you?

Just wait a couple of years, then it'll be "Daddy, daddy, when can we put the Christmas Tree up?" at the beginning of November :roll:

Do you think I could have used the same photo for the other post of what people look like??
At least I am into the Chrissy spirt by wearing a santa hat. Some mean bastards on this site don't even put up a tree.

Yeah, why not...although I'm wondering how you're doing such a good job of holding onto the wall?

Being taken out into the forest and made to watch while my dad sawed off a six-foot-tall fir at ground level was one of the early traumas my parents subjected me to... seemed like such a callous waste, even at the age of... ummm, I would've been about four... tree struggles out of a seed, somehow avoids being eaten, drowned, parched and stomped on, then humans arrive and go "You'll make a fine bit of decor in a corner of our living room for a week." Might as well procure sections of a whale's skeleton to hang baubles off of...

...if your kids show hints of this sort of thinking, they'll grow up to become neurotic. Trust me on that one.
