we go real all the way - family tradition was to "find" one somewhere and cut it down, but I'm too lazy for that now so we bought a nice bushy 6 ft tree for $15!! I couldn't get through Christmas without that smell ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:45:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=565456&title=xmas-trees#565456 <![CDATA[XMAS TREES : Bobbie wrote:I love real ones...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=565358&title=xmas-trees#565358 Author: MumsyMoo

Wally.

We have a 6ft fake (although it doesn't *look* 6ft) which we have decorated in Blue and Silver (excluding DF's token red Dodge Viper decoration, lol - The only reason I have used Blue and Silver though, is because I grew up celebrating Chanukkah and Blue and Silver are the Jewish colours.


(Note the dangling tinsel at the bottom of the tree thanks to the sproglet tearing it down)

I'd love to get a Menorah, but I don't think DF would be all too keen hahaha.

Oh I'm so excited about my tree this year, got a black one from Farmers! DH and I love black yay!! Have just decorated it with silver deco's and it looks stunning
Luckily the cats haven't taken too much interest in it yet but I hear ya Bobbie on the cat thing, I know of a little grey kitty who one year kept eating tinsel off the tree and thowing it up again! No tinsel in my house because of that!]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:55:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=565321&title=xmas-trees#565321 <![CDATA[XMAS TREES : I love real ones but unfortunately...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=565241&title=xmas-trees#565241 Author: Bobbie

We have a 6 ft real looking fake tree and it is decorated in silver and gold balls and traditional looking wooden ornaments ie nutcracker, rocking horses that are predominantly red, green and white...and of course fairy lights that blink.
Oh and a big gold star...my son just loves it and tells everyone that I helped him decorate it.]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2008 22:04:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=564876&title=xmas-trees#564876 <![CDATA[XMAS TREES : We got a real one this year, yay!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=564863&title=xmas-trees#564863 Author: AuntieSarah

At the moment we have a 2 foot fake. Decorated silver and white

 

Now if we had space I would love to get a big bushy real one, probably keeping the decorations simple colours.

 

There are some cool christmas trees in the photo gallery at the moment

Hi all,

I'm very excited because I just went and brought my first ever Xmas tree and decorated it!

Just wondering what everyones preference is with trees this year. Real or Fake? And what colours are you using?

I went with the 6ft Fake with pretty red and gold decorations. I'd have to say my tree totally kicks ass.....although my husband is gonna freak when he sees what I spent on it hehe :)

Merry Xmas to all]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:19:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23076&PID=564626&title=xmas-trees#564626
