I do admire anyone who goes all out with a fresh tree every year
The cost and shedding clean up, puts us off

I love real Christmas trees , we always had one when we were growing up, often brought home on a push bike by our Da , before he got a Honda 50 , then a car , easier to transport then☺
Used to be a real tree when mine were small too , until we got the dog . Who loved trying to eat the tree . Or trying to climb into it . Artificial become a lifesaver ☺
Enough nostalgia for one night!

Didn't think it would be that low. You couldn't even make a generalisation that it's an urban/rural split or an age group split. Just every bodies personal preference.

So now we know most of you have an artificial tree, how do you decorate it? A star on top, and angel, a homemade image of Des Lynam?

Do you, or would you, have a star on the top of your tree?
What percentage of players do you think will say yes?

RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Necro - 15-12-2021
I love the idea of a real tree but all that effort with the shedding and the hassle of finding a decent one, I don't have the time to be dealing with it!
Also we have to think of the environment don't we...

RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - quickbeam - 15-12-2021
A real living tree with roots in a pot is probably the best for the environment. I’d nearly consider one of them.
