We don't normily set our tree up until after the daughters birthday on the 6th December( 21 this year).
Now she is no longer at home I thought I'd have a look out the back and see if I could find a small one. Not going all out this year as there are no kids at home on Christmas Day this year as we are traveling to them and the grandchildren. I found a few Christmas trees from the last few years. Now to decide which one to use...  Click image to enlarge Cheers, Kyle. |

I'd use the white one there, the second from the right in the picture. That one has a wider footing, won't fall over all too easily.

I collected our tree yesterday from a customer's garden. It was due to come down in the summer, but I said that it would make a nice christmas tree and they agreed to keep it up until December for me!
It was bigger than I thought, it stuck out the back of the truck by quite some distance and I had to chop a few feet off the bottom to get it to fit in the lounge. One thing though, no matter how hard I shook it to remove the loose needles etc before it came in, it failed to dislodge the many, many families of spiders that are now living rent free on the ceiling. You live and learn.....

So I've started at the front end first! http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic41658.html "Sorry love, don't make me choose between you and my Lanny. You won't like the answer....." |

For us Christmas is an occasion which starts when the tree goes up on December 24th and lasts twelve days from the 25th.
I abhor the ever increasing length of the commercialised run up to the 25th and attempts by huge corporations to make people part with their cash. I especially dislike the one with a semi truck accompanied by a bland jingle informing us that holidays are comin' holidays are comin' holidays are comin' Bleuh  Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW. [Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc] http://forums.lr4x4.com I used to be Miserable ...but now I'm ecstatic. |

Different countries, different habits. As said, here it is in full swing by the first weekend of December, before our Fête de l'Escalade of next saturday, but right after Xmas, say by the 27th the streets are full of old Xmas trees and will be collected for biomass recycling.
