Decorations & Trees in general Reviews

I always have a real Christmas tree at Christmas time... It has to be real. I just love the smell of the tree. I usually get it the last weekend before Christmas. I like leaving it till almost last minute. For the last twenty years or so we have always gone to the same place to get the Christmas tree. We go to a place near ...

I love this time of year, I think it's all about families and fun and I really go to town with the decoration's. My daughter keeps badgering me at the moment to put the tree and decorations up but I am trying to hold off for a bit longer. I normally put my tree and decorations up the last weekend in november. My tree is artificial so ...

After reading a review about christmas, it has made me feel in the festive mood so I thought I would give a go at writing a review as well. Christmas is that time of year when everyone (most people), feel jolly and happy and seeing lights and lots of decorations always gets people into the festive mood, and it always brings a smile to ...

We all love the build up to Christmas- buying presents,making the christmas cake, adoring the freshly baked smell of the mince pie's. But one of the things i love is decorating the house and putting up our tree. Moving out of my mum and dad's house, meant buying and making decorations from scratch.Every year i have a different colour theme, ...

I've always loved Christmas & the best thing for me isn't the present-receiving but having the house looking warm & Christmassy ready for our precious & rare family quality time. My husband's self-employed & has just 25th December off work so it's a treat for myself & 2 daughters (aged 17 & 22) to have him all ...

Decorating the house for Christmas is one of my favourite parts of the season (along with making a big Christmas cake) and I always enjoy digging out the decorations and remebering past Christmases. Usually my family only buys one or two decorations each Christmas, and we have baubles going back from before I was born, they are looking a ...

Home made Christmas decorations . I love making homemade Christmas decorations and during the many, many years I have worked with children I have made many. I fact I am frantically trying to get many decorations constructed at school at the moment. If your child brings home a decoration they have made at school please put it ...

In my house there is an annual argument over whether the tree should have tinsel on it. To answer this question I think we need to look at the reason why we have Christmas decorations. Whatever the original rationale, Christmas decorations now seem to serve the purpose of making Christmas and bit different and cheering up the place during ...

We all love Christmas, and one of the best parts of Christmas is putting up the decorations. Every year my whole family will gather in the front room and we will all put the decorations up. We will start by rearranging the room so we can fit everything in and then we will put the tree up. Before this year we would put up the tree and put anything ...

Hello all, it is Geoffrey here, the giraffe with the cool mohican haircut, I wasn't going to be allowed to write this little story because MrKing says what is the point about writing about decorating a Christmas tree. But seeing as I have just endured a rather nasty kidnap ordeal, but the kidnappers came off worse, they started to really ...

That time of year again. Mam can we put the tree up Lucy has decorations up and Katie. Oh go on then ask your dad to get them out of the attic. Yeh! famous few lines at the start of the festive season and I bet they apply to most households. You get the tree out and you forget how you put the decorations on it last year and which set ...

Every year, so far, we have always had a real Christmas tree. I just love the look, the smell, the needles stuck in the carpet, our feet, the dog... oh dear, I've talked myself out of having one next year!!! I did mean to get a fake tree earlier this year, but, it so happened that we had the money spare in July, and the last thing ...

I had a nervous breakdown. So all I do is drive around drunk and listen to Christmas music and look at all the lights and decorations. I have resolved not to participate in the holidays this year with the greedy self centered people that I have wasted too many holidays with already, so all of a sudden all the beautiful decorations and lights have ...

Last month I was to be found scouring several local DIY shops around the outskirts of my town. Had I taken leave of my senses, was I seriously planning on doing some painting and wallpapering at this busy time of year? Nah of course not! I was simply checking out their Christmas decoration stock! Each year at this time ...

It's that time of year again when people periodically lose any sense of style and decency and start putting Christmas decorations up around their homes. For one month a year, plastic Father Christmases and reindeer are dragged out of the attic/garage and are dumped on the front garden. For one month a year, planes are dragged off course by ...

I would like to decorate my home for Christmas in an elegant, co-ordinated fashion, but with children and animals this is currently an impossibility, we still have lots of fun with the decorations though. Lets start with the tree. Currently we have an artificial one that looks quite realistic, but I do miss the smell of a real tree, pine ...

Ok, being the stingy bargain hunter that I am, my stinginess doesn`t end just because it`s christmas, I`m the alternative stooge. Alternative because although I will spend as little as possible, my house will still look like tinsel town. First off the christmas tree, now I know you will get many years use out of this even if it is only ...

Jingle bells, jingle bells, now why did I say that ?? Duuno really, just like Christmas I suppose, but then you'd never have guessed from my ops would you, see I've done Christmas dinners, Romantic Dinners, My Christmas wish list which Father Christmas says he's working on a few items (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more squire !!). ...

This is more of a money saving tip, than an opinion of somewhere to buy your decorations, but it could double as both. Matalan have recently opened a new store close to where I live, and I was dragged up there by the missus to look at womens clothing (again). We were also there though, because in their free mag that they post out there ...
