Christmas tree style - help

They obviously can't sell it Anno - it must be out of style.

Most of my tree decorations are old ones collected over the years. I like them that way. I go for the nostalgic look, not purple and silver trendy.

We have just put the tree up. DH put the lights on and some of the decorations on whilst I was out at choir. It's an artificial tree this year and we have tried to toddler proof it as far as we can from the predations of a 15 mth old small boy.
How about an xmas tree picture thread. I am busy tomorrow and cannot get my tree finished until later Wednesday but I will start one if no one else has.

When I was in Germany I bought some gold "angel hair" to drape artistically along the tree branches. I really liked it until a friend (who was with me at the time) referred to it as angel bum fluff. Can't quite see it in the same light any more

We always had Lametta when I was a child - very popular in Germany.
I try to have a colour theme - either all gold baubles or red and gold. Tried all silver one year but it looked much too cold. I also like adding a decoration or two each year - my favourites (again from Germany) are little glass bells tied in pairs with gold cord which just sit on the ends of the branches.
Haven't bought the tree yet - have had 2 nightmares already that it was Christmas morning and I had forgotten both the tree and the turkey

I have still got some lametta. Had it for years. I put a few strands on each year, and take them off again over the next few days. I used to like it!

When with exdh we had red and gold, Mr P and I now have silver, I don't think it looks cold, but I may be wrong!

(Not bloody changing it this year, that's for certain!)

I've got blue and silver!

Galen , SNAP !
Very tasteful !

I use lametta AND tinsel AND decorations my children made donkeys years ago and noone has complained yet

Me too Galen and Nonu with the addition of glass dangly things* tied on with narrow blue ribbon.
