    Don't bother, mate.

    Unless you have kids that is.

    I would get a tree but don't really have room for one, except for beside the radiator where it would dry up after about a day. I shall put up some lights this week which look nice when you are walking towards my block of flats.

    My old Mum used to spray the tree with hair spray. Stopped the needles falling out.

    First year we got a plastic one she did the same. Bless her.

    We just had an argument over the tree, and I lost. I will be spraying my collection of little twigs later and hanging lights all over my bedroom. If we hads kids, I was told, we would have a tree. Why should they have all the fun???

    Our tradition is to set up the tree on Dec. 24, so I cannot provide any pictures yet.

    But a 2m tree is lying in the garden, ready to be set up.

    I would rather not have a tree than resort to a plastic one. The only compromise on tradition are electric candles. The wax candles we used when I was a child are just too dangerous. Every year there are fires related to Christmas Trees.

    I think when the children are out of the house we will no longer have a tree. But I am not so sure really. As they are still here we have a tree even as they are grown up alredy.

    That will be people spraying the tree with hair spray to stop the needles falling out.

    No tree here in chateau dog, no kids, no family, therefore no tree. Not sure I'll ever bother if I stay here, just can't get into the christmas spirit with it being 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I need the cold, bitter, grimly dark english weather to inspire me.
