I need to buy a plug that my speaker will switch them on for this year, save a bit of effort. FFS who's this 'we'? 'Our' lights might still be up in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be starting to think about putting them up again. I use the same logic with clocks. It's hardly worth putting all the clocks back in October when I'll just have to put them forward again in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) On 12/13/2020 at 8:27 PM, Hertsscot said: My understanding is that the Germans (from whom we adopted this particular custom) traditionally only put up the tree on Christmas Eve so I'm reluctant to put the tree up too early. Normally I'll go for any day after the third Sunday in Advent, so I'll buy a tree some time this week. I did see a tree in someone's house on 15th November the Sunday after Remembrance Day which struck me as a bit on the early side. Time to resurrect this thread and see if we can get any more contributions. I am not overly confident but I will be bumping this thread to the top till xmas day if I need to. I am mortified to admit my tree went up last weekend as I dont have time the next 2 weekends. I will be more unpopular in Germany than the anti vaxers. Anyone else got their tree up yet ? @Lairdyfaeinverclyde ( is he still on here) has your tree met the elf and safety standards this year ? Edited December 2, 2021 by TDYER63 .

I see Santa has been promoted to guardian of the tree , having moved from the sidelines to front stage , boldly standing to protect it from any unvaccinated visitors. Have the icicles melted ? They seem to be shorter than last year ? I am no putting mine up . It looks exactly the same as last year other than the fact my new phone has a better camera which makes the tree look a bit too symmetrical. I dont want Duncan giving me a hard time there are no enough people to chat with on here as it is. I would expect contributions this year from some of the regular posters. In particular @thplinth.

Hey you, coincidence. Don't come on here much now. When i moved house in the summer i got rid of the dangerous tree and got a new one yesterday. Health and safety will be adhered too.

Did you buy a ghost tree like Prideothenorth? 😁 I enjoyed reading this thread again. Bizarrely , folk on here seemed to be cheerier when we were locked down. Hope you have settled in to your new house ok , and are getting to see your wee grandson more now that restrictions are lifted a bit. I am fine thanks. Hope you have a good Christmas and New Year 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Sigh. Not many new trees on here this year 😕 Another good effort by Killae though. Get off the trans stuff thread for 2 weeks ya miserable bassas and get some trees up. Or anything festive. Here are the lights I bought from QVC whilst pished a few years ago . Not only did I buy one set I bought 2. I will need to live to about 226 yrs old to get my moneys worth of Christmases from them. I mean what other time of year are these going to provide any useful purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfieMoon Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I’m very disappointed that I missed this thread last year which is miraculous given everyone was sitting in the hoose with nothing else to do. 😂 I do love a Christmas tree! 😬 Thankfully, I still have a photo of my effort from last year which can give a further boost to @TDYER63’s Christmas cheer. This year my tree is likely remaining in the box as I’m at the burd’s hoose. So I may next post her effort by means of competition. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
