Well, we solved our Chrissy tree storage issue by buying a new shelving unit for the shed. But I think our tree's days are numbered. I'm going to be on the lookout for extreme tree discounts in the few days before & after Christmas. Colour scheme this year - cherry red, deep pink & silver plus or minus a few green accents. This will be out of our existing rainbow of baubles, except I need to upgrade on my silvers because I've got nasty cheap ones that aren't silvery enough.
