Me versus the Christmas Tree

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

So, once again I've bought a real Christmas tree for the space where it will reside for the next few weeks. A saw and an hour later and it was ready to decorate.

Now I'm wondering, how do you decorate yours? Do you decorate in the middle of the room and then manoeuvre to its destination? What do you start with first....lights, tinsel, baubles?

I've resorted to a Bacardi and Coke whilst I consider the options? lol

I decorate in situ. Lights then baubles. No tinsel. Star at the top last.

Depends on the size of the tree as to where I do it.

Lights first, then beaded garlands (prefer to tinsel) then baubles.

Always lights first. I leave it sticking out a bit to get round the back then I put the decorations on it. I don't really have baubles, I have lots of little tiny mirrors and stars... silver stuff. I don't have a tree yet... maybe next weekend.

Can't decide whether the cat will just try to eat it or knock it over.

My decorating takes all of 2 minutes.

It consists of me strategically placing 2 baubles and a piece of tinsel on ma yucca tree

Decorate in situ.

Lights, ornaments and then the tinsel, with Santa on the top.

Almost every ornament on the tree has a story to it. I try to get one per year. This years ornament is a wooden star made of Pupleheart, Bloodwood and Maple which I bought in Mallory Square.

I dont have a tree. But you need to check the lights, put them on tree first.

Drink more.

Then do the lights.

Then tinsel.

Then the dangly stuff

Put it where it will reside for the days ahead. Then the lights, followed by the tinsel. Baubles always last to save me knocking them off with the lights or tinsel

using tinsel and baubles and silver and colour strings

Tree in situ, lights first. Never bother to decorate the back, who sees it?

For the first time, I've moved furniture so that the tree is in the window instead of in the corner. So this is also the first year I've decorated the back of the tree!
