We three trees!

Every year I place my christmas lights carefully into boxes, and when I get them out again, they are completely tangled up!! How does that happen??

I seized my moment yesterday, and when hubby was full of Tiramisu, I persuaded him that we need 3 Christmas trees :-) To be fair, he doesn't take much persuading.
And here they are - completely impossible to photograph - they are much prettier IRL :-)

Tree No. 1, for the living room, is a stunning 7 1/2ft Nordman Fir. The branches have drooped already, so I can't really hang anything on the lower ones,  but we love it just the same. :-)


Tree No 2, for the kitchen is a 6ft artificial one. It's the first time I've used all red on a tree, even the lights are little red berries, and it looks stunning. (It's not as garish as the photo suggests)


Tree No 3, for the dining room, is a 6ft real tree. Not sure what type, but it's one of those we used to have when I was a kid - really spiky and you only have to look at it funny, for 1000 needles to drop on the floor!


I've shown you mine... now let's see yours :-)

Oooh Caroline these are all gorgeous. We only have one artificial tree in our house, and that won't go up until the weekend before Christmas, so maybe 17 / 18 December. Then we all go on kitty watch, the last thing we want is a 12 pound Maine Coon kitten on the top of the tree LOL!!!

So pretty! Sad to say we do not even have our tree yet. (We go and cut one down each year at a tree farm.)
