Who has done theirs?!!

[Talya]

Yes, how many of you have your Christmas decorations up already. This year is the first year ever, that I have them up before December starts. I know only one but even so! I usually put them up during the first weekend in DEc. But as next weekend I have a few things on, I can't. So I was persuaded by little terror to do it today! I forgot how long and tiring it is!

 

So has anyone else put them up, if not when are you going to, and when do you start listening to Christmas songs. She will definately have to wait until tomorrow for that... :D

[cosmicpanda]

we haven't got any up yet.

 

Although the pohutukawa trees are starting to flower now, which is generally a good signal that it's time to.

I thought Pocahontas was an Indian, not a tree?

[Barmacral]

No idea, probably help with half of them once I get home in two weeks. Here, there's none.

[Alaksuleiel]

I usually get my tree up on the 1st which is today, but I have a toddler who likes to chew on shiny things so it'will be much later this year :D

[cosmicpanda]

Eclipse, you're a dick.

At first I got excited because I thought that Eclipse rhymed with Dick, but than I realized that I'm just a retard and it sounds nothing alike.

 

:(

 

[eclipse0]

You wan some of this, don't you Pandy...

[cosmicpanda]

Yes. I want some it to be set on fire, and the rest to be fed to Demi.

IS there even any pine trees where you are?

 

We're getting ours next week. :)

[cosmicpanda]

Plenty of pinetrees, but I think they're imported.

 

I don't know why people bother with them. Such a hassle, and you can't even decorate them properly  :-\

Have you ever tried? lol

 

After they get imported they're probably all withered and three feet tall anyways. :D

Our tree has been used for Christmases for around 15 years. It's some weird species. Unfortunately it always gets massacred in the winter by the snow and hail and rain and sleet but it's normally good for Christmas ;D

 

IS there even any pine trees where you are?

 

Yep, most of my friends have pine branches for trees. It's quite sad really...:(

Pine branches!? That would look so pathetic lol. If you've ever seen Charlie Browns christmas, it would look like that.

 

Is your tree some wierd species like an artificial plastic tree? :o

[Alaksuleiel]

We used gum tree branches as kids, now we have a plastic tree, less mess and less likely for the babies to want to eat it....

[Moghedian]

Nah, some cousin of yew I think... ::)

It just seems more like Christmas with a REAL pine tree, the tart aroma, placing water where it was cut to keep it alive, cursing while dragging it through the front door and the pounds of pine needles that need to be swept off the floor when it's set up all adds to the Christmas spirit. :)

This is more traditional:

 

 

But I prefer this:

It's one of the few things Canadia actually did okay at...

[ChronoCrosS]

But Santa can't fit my presents under the second one. :'(

[Talya]

The first one looks lovely,

 

The second delicious... ;D

 

Who needs pressies under that one!

[Alaksuleiel]

No, by imported I meant not native.  :P

 

I have tried to decorate a pine tree. The decorations just slid off  >:(
