have you been peeping?

The baubles aren't up to much either....and you should see the state of the tinsel......

  you been peeping too 

Mebbe 

I would take a peek but I can't find my specs

Hehe! at the last few posts 

we have just bought a real tree -5 foot tall and decorate it in red/gold

Ooooo Wozzer! have you got lights on it and how many please? I need to know, mine's a five footer and have 100 lights but I can't seem to get them right  

Tree?  Bah, Bumhug !! ! 

My kinda feelings too really......... Mine's not up yet  

Going to be moving house soon, so debating whether to put mine up this year at all or not - think I'll probably cave in and do it though  

6 ft artificial - green with dusting of 'snow' and pine cones.   Lights - multicoloured - 2 sets of 240 lights, both on random light setting.  No tinsel or beads or lametta - masses of decorations of all sorts - fir cones, stars,  robins, snowmen, penguins, one of the three kings, a stained glass window, a lilac shoe with a feather trim (can you tell I'm sitting right beside it) a puppy with a santa hat, various angels, some china with bells inside and dozens of traditional balls of all colours.  Topped with an angel in a red dress with a gold overskirt and gold wings.  

I do love a tacky tree.  

I'm on holiday this next week. I may.....or may not put mine up 

My fairy on top of the tree is 32 years old (possibly older) - I would love to describe her as a vision of porcelain and lace but she's plasric and tin foil bought from Woolworths - we call her Mary Fairy and I could not bear to replace her ever - I now surround her with two beautiful white frosted stars but she has prime position.

When I'm dead and gone I have visions of my kids fighting over her for sentimental reasons - truth be told they'll probably bin her at the first opportunity cos she's about as tacky as tacky gets.

Poor old Mary.

Pic please..........or it ain't happening   

Sooz, I've got our version of Mary Fairy ! I got custody Ours is a Woolies special too, tacky but treasured. Even if I don;t get round to putting the tree up, she'll be on show  

Mine is floor to ceiling (so 6ft?) real, it..'s beautiful

a friend is a farm manager and this is his little bit on the side.  Every year he buys about 30 baby christmas trees, so every year he had about 30 to sell, he brings ours round to the house and charges about 20 quid. If we bought it from the garden centre it would be about 100 quid.

win win all round

I wonder if they're twins? Wish I could post pics 

i think you owe it to Mary's long lost sister to go VIP and do it. 

hahah!! I know The drawbacks of being a non VIP  Ours is mostly made of foil stuff, but she has a wee lace skirt glued over it ! 

Sprout, we could build one of these  

oh..I did it.    I didn't think photobucket was working

I think she may have had a lace dress once (can't remember) - she has a round plastic face with sort of blue eyeshadow, yellow plastic hair and a gold tinsel halo (strictly speaking I guess she's an angel) the rest of her is shiny plastic silver foil sort of stuff.

Oh! Lovely tree pics! 

I may have started already.........at least I've got the empties 

ahhh, ours has yellow kind of wool hair .

ooohh, kaffy, nice!  

needs a cat to lie under it though! ! 

 thats very norty or not 

  be gone you!   it would go for my baubles.    (it looks better in the flesh btw.. it's not very photogenic.)

heheh!! ! 

What are you two like? 

Surprised there's no baffies hanging from it ! 

Sprout! This one's for your tree if it goes up.. 

oh they're cute!

I have a posh baffy - I'll take a picture of it now I can work photobucket
