    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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!
