How cool is my Xmas Tree?

Argument has always raged at our house between Scrooge (me) and the Spirit of Christmas (Eliza) about when is too soon to put up the tree (me: 24th December) (Eliza: never too soon). The type and quantity of decorations is also a bone of contention (Me: none is good) (Eliza: deck the halls, walls, floors, tables,etc). So it was a bi-partisan agreement of some note when we agreed on this tree during a recent stroll around Ikea. I think I like it because it is just the merest suggestion of a Christmas Tree, but I do like it. Now I have to go buy some presents...

I'm like you Cate - I prefer the bare minimum of decoration. I was not popular when I gave away our old large Christmas Tree and we don't have a new one yet! I'd better hurry up and find one!

I love yours it's subtle but festive!

LOVE that tree! When the kids were young we had ritual decorating and the tree went up 2 weeks before Xmas. Now they start early, and I'm later and later. This year, since I'm away, I didn't do anything to my own place! However you enjoy the season -the most important part is to just enjoy!
