[Olive]

do you do tinsel? lights? baubles?

we have lights and baubles/decorations but no tinsel, i decided not to this year, it looks a little plain so i might go get more decorations!

so whats on yours?

[*TripleJ*]

we have tinsel and balls and little snowflakes im planning on getting candy canes all my decos are red and gold or glittery

[feeb]

Not up yet, but always have lights, tinsel, baubles and an assortment of decorations!!!!!

[Pinny-mum]

I usually do stars, baubles and lights, no tinsel but decided this year to try the tinsel...hoping it will look effective!!

You have me hanging out till tuesday to put my tree up, made DH get it from under the house...can't wait...

Our tree is the most mis-matched ecclectic looking tree you've ever seen ROFL. Most of the stuff we have doesn't match at all. We have tinsel - don't do lights as they are a fire hazard and decorations that I've brought and ones the kids have made at school. This year we will be adding to the odd-ness by including the little cross stitched stockings I have done. I see the trees they have in Myer and how it is all co-ordinated and it all matches a theme, and I would love a tree that looked like that, but I love how our tree looks. eventually I would like all the ornaments to be handmade so that i dont have to buy cheap imported from China crap.

Nothing at the moment, it isn't up. But usually all of the above LOL

Trillian none of ours match either!! Its a collection on some cheap some slightly more expensive ornamanets that I have had for anywhere from 1 - 9 years!!! I even have some winnie the pooh and friends soft ones and some baubles with winnie the poo on them plus a heap of cheap crap and a few nice hallmark ones!!! Very missed match I get tree envy in myers!!

[shellbell3]

Ours is a colorfull mishmash of whatever fits on, lots tinsil, balls, angels, some made deco's. And big star on top.

Lights I'm too paranoid to put on, mum always went on bout housefires and lights so put my lights round the lounge instead, looks good.

Df isn't overally impressed our tree has already been up for 2 weeks. Lol.

[AliBaby]

WE have a star on top!
baubles- green, red, purple and gold
Decorations- frosty, angels, santa, some elves, some stars a gingerbread man
No tinsel
Ligths- 2 sets, one coloured one plain

Oh and candy canes haging on the tree to eat through Christmas!!!

[Lulu]

I've finally picked a theme - I buy the starlight foundation baubles every year - a few at a time. They are all purple and silver. So something matching at least.

[AnyDream]

I have so many Christmas deccies I normally only get some out (I pick a 'theme') so each year we rotate thru different ones. I do so love sparkly, crystal & glass ones that catch the light, but they might have to stay in the box this year with DD2 on the prowl LOL.

I was thinking to concentrate on purple colours this year (ie purple tinsel & wrapping paper) but I've just had the brainwave to do a pink themed christmas. Seems kind of appropriate with the mastectomy. I've got enough pink or matches-with-pink things, probably only need some ribbons and/or tulle to boost the pinkness factor.

Anyone seen any pink tinsel at the shops?

[DaintreeDream]

We don't have our tree up yet either, not long now though!

We have lights, baubles and a few decorations but we don't have tinsel. Our decorations are red, purple, green and gold.

And an angel on top .

Oh I forgot that we added about 9 disney princess balls last year for DD, they make the tree a bit mis-matched now ohh well.

I bet ours can rival yours Trillian! We have things Zander has made at preschool, some very expensive glass balls (not on this year because of the J terror), plastic balls, sequined fabric stars, plastic Dora & Sesame St characters & a whole bunch of other stuff. We also have tinsel (purple & red this year!) and lights which are already attached to the tree.

My mum's tree is awesome, it used to be eclectic like ours but now she has got just birds with massive feather tails & these sparkly feather things. It looks AWESOME!

[Astrid]

I was going for a purple theme, but now have just decided to go eclectic. For the past couple of years I have been picking up decorations made from dough, bit cutsie but I can't help myself

[Oorki Galoorki]

we have a paper and glitter star(from kindy) a fabric bell, a pink giraffe, a small rudolf, and a lady playing a violin...... thats it how is that for ecclectic

[melbel]

nuffin at the moment it is naked....just put the tree up and had to come for a lie down cos it pooped me out. When I get back to it I have theme of red gold and green no silver or other colours allowed.......lots and lots of lights including 100 candle lights and a truckload of tinsel.....overdone maybe but it does sparkle!!!

[tan32]

our tree is a mis match but I love it.
We have decorations that mean something to us on our tree, we have home made decorations done by Dh's 100 yr old Nana and some his Mum made, we have decorations that the kids have made and some from my Grandparents who have passed. WE also have picture frame ornaments with different pics of family in them. We have lights and balls and tinsel.
To me Christmas is about family and our tree has all our special family things on it. The kids decorate it , with help for the top parts that they cant reach.
We also have the hallmark decorations for every year up til their fifth birthday each.

So its mis matched but meaningful

[beckoes]
