What are we putting up this year a real christmas tree or an artificial one?
And... when do you put them up ? The day before Christmas or now,this weekend?

Real - bought after at least a half-hour heated family discussion at the tree sellers (we go to the Mountain Rescue team's shop so the profit is to a good cause).

Usually it is put up on the 24th, sometimes the 23rd. The lights are never lit until 6pm on the 24th when Christmas officially starts.

neither!

Sticking Wolvie in the corner of the room with a sprig of Holly on his bonce!

I am not having one this year!
maybe just maybe I will get the teeny tiny one out of the loft
but I hate decorating them!

I hate decorating them also and then taking it all off again and packing it away, so I have artificial decorated with stars that light up.

I hate taking the tree down, so last year I left all the decorations on and just stuck the lot away in the spare room. So this year all I have to do is get it out and pop it into the living room. It's a bit dusty though

would a hairdryer on cold get rid of the dust?

put a wheelie bin bag over it thats what a mate of mine does

An old artificial one we have will have up
Living room and hall is the only place I put decorations. My husband doesnt like them When he goes back to work I'm sure a few more will appear!
He wont be with us Christmas or New Year, he goes back to work 22nd Dec
