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?

I'm just too lazy to put up, or take down, a F*&ING Christmas tree.

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

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

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.
