Well I figure by now most people have the Xmas tree up and decorated, so why not a thread of xmas tree's seeing as everyone likes posting pics.
I would go first but have to take a pic, will do it tonight.

Here is our chrissy tree. Put it up yesterday.
Filled with 18+ year old stuff. Lost of sentimental value on that tree.. Bring a lot of good memories back when we put it up.

Here's our all- new Christmas tree. Bought it from Big W for $20 at the one day sale. The decorations are from GO-LO and the Reject Shop. Total cost was under $50.

Yeah I remember those days. I love the smell of pine.
My tree is plastic but its a nice one, and I usually spend a full day decorating it, Im fussy. Will have to take a put it up this weekend and take a pic. I usually decorate it with all silver decorations but this year I am thinking of changing the theme - perhaps to gold and red....

Funniest thing ive heard all week!!! Tidy work. Good to see not everyone in the country has turned to the grinch guys, some good looking trees there with some ornaments that look like theyve been in and out of the attic/wallspace a few times over the years. Pine christmas tree brings back memories. Most of them involving a horrific mess.

We used to hang those choc mint pattie things from the tree (I was young and don't really remember why anyone would do such a thing) but we'd wake up and our old dog without fail would have ripped them all open and gotten melted chocolate into the carpet!!

Taken last year, looks a bit different this year.
Has a train around it that makes my 6 month old daughter cry. Blows smoke, has a light, makes train sounds and then plays christmas tunes. (seemed light a good idea at the time) Hope you all have a safe & happy Christmas.

Bah who needs a tree in your house. There's heaps of them outside
 :That tree with train is pretty cool. I should of gone to my Xmas party for work and flogged one from the club like my mate did last year.  : We don't put our tree up anymore since there aint much of a family left anymore. My mum is just going to put up lights on the pergola. |

Well as promised... here is mine... Red and gold as planned. Looks poo with the flash at night though, must get a better pic in daylight!
 Here it is taken with no flash - better colours but blurry... how different does it look?  These trees on here are all great. Except Gary's... that is just... well... stunning!
