POLL: 'Traditional Christmas' vs 'Contemporary Christmas' ?
Comments (10)@cinderellaslipper - you are right! It is Kyffin Williams, MIL has quite a few of his paintings. Also, she has great taste and sense of style, and is what I call 'a genuine lady'! I'm very lucky to have her as my MIL; plus, my husband has been raised by her, so he is just as great!! :)) If you want to see a bit more of her house, have a look at this: http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/306977/monicas...See MoreOrdering Bespoke Items in Time for Christmas.

Comments (2)I love Xmas trees. If I ever find a fireplace to install I think it could look nice if decorated in quite a minimalist or subtle way. Having said that, I was struggling to find any images I liked!!...See More

5 years agoI don’t know why but this year I’m liking sparse Christmas trees. Might be tempted as a second tree and just decorate with lights. It’s strange since I also disagree with myself and think trees should be laden with Christmas bounty, so either I’m losing my mind or becoming Scrooge-ified!!

Had this fake tree few years now, decided to ditch the glitz & glamour decs for a more rustic feel for past two years.

5 years agoOur tree's a fake as well, that is much bigger than really intended, after moving house the first weekend of December, and there being limited stock to choose from... obviously we keep going bigger in our choices rather than making compromises on other aspects
We add decorations to it from our holidays, buying something new (or a couple of things) whenever we go away. Love reminiscing on our holidays when we put our decorations up each year :-)

5 years agoI love a real tree but I’ve such a small space that my narrow fake tree fits the space perfectly. When kids were younger they use to decorate with a variety of coloured decorations and coloured lights but now I’ve teenagers so I do it myself in whites and softer colours. Happy Christmas everyone

5 years agoI love all or your trees! I have two, one is comic booked themed (my influence) and the other we bought this year for our dinning room. I've always wanted a snowy tree with white decorations and i think it turned out really well.

5 years agoLoving everyone’s trees:) We have two. Slim fake one in the living room this year and a potted tree which usually lives in the garden. Supposed to be fragrant but I call it the sticky sap variety and you need gloves when putting decorations on. Haven’t decorated this one yet as having a rid out but here’s the fake one. I let my little boy decorate it:)

Having come to the end of a stressful renovation this year (in my experience there isn't any other kind of renovation :-/ ....mostly due to me vowing never to live in during the works, and always ending up doing just that....the cost of renting alternative accommodation whilst also trying to keep up with renovation costs prevents moving out during the build from ever becoming a reality). So....to reward ourselves for surviving it and not killing/divorcing each other :-) we decided to go to town and have two trees, we both love all things Christmas! One in the lounge and one in the openplan/kitchen area, after all, this is where we will be eating Christmas dinner and we wanted to be able to enjoy the tree in that room. Here are the pics, excuse the disney stocking and very naff Santa, I have had them both years and love them unconditionally lol...Christmas should be a lot OTT and a little bit kitsch IMHO... ;-)

5 years agoForgot this one. From Christmas past :D
I’m sure these trees will feel familiar to some of us. And mum used to hang foil type chandelier decorations for a few years.

5 years agoAnd here is my living potted tree. Got tired of disposing dead cut trees a few years ago so changed to pot grown trees instead. This is the second one in 7 years, the other still lives in the garden (different variety) although I dare not plant it in the ground as it will grow monstrous. I’ve tried to decorate it with a natural look but part of me can’t resist twinkly things. The sprouts are a new addition this year and the ballerina teddy I’ve had since a child and always goes at the top. (Please ignore my horrendous decor. This is the breakfast room, more of a through room really, and I shall be decorating very soon....I’m thinking green:))

5 years agoGot to admit struggling with Christmas this year, our tree only went up on Saturday and not taking credit for decorating that was a friend. Our tree is about 3 years old and only gone up as got nephew coming tomorrow and hopped the cars would destroy it....

5 years agoWe have a fake tree that my husband bought for £20 in the Woolworths closing down sale over a decade ago when our real one shed 90% of its needles within 24 hours of us buying it. This tree has seen us through 2 children and 3 cats; only one of which climbed it as a kitten. It’s thinning and requires lots of fluffing and padding out each year but we love it and it’s covered in ornaments from every year and everywhere.
