So what is it to be this year: a real Xmas tree in the living room with all the decorations (that the cat will cheerfully remove and break/eat and then climb the tree ) or a slightly cheesy fibre optic plastic tree... I always think it's nice to go for a real tree but there is always the minor issue of deforestation and impending severe needle drop before christmas eve and all for a stupidly high price meaning that as I get older I am starting to think that artificial is ok. Hmm...decisions, decisions.... Any suggestions from the muddy@rse Christmas advice collective? Oh if only shimano did an XT tree with additional titanium and carbon fibre bits

If this was a combat situation, we'd be dead by now.

Fake here, a wiser long term investment i feel. They also tend to be more toddler/cat proof. |

This is worse than a "what tyre" thread! |

I'm not happy...been to five tree places and they are all out of stock of the cheaper needle droppers, only giants left, and those posh spruce ones are starting at £38 ![]() I did have to laugh (ok, chuckle quietly as I drove away) at the guy that had just spent over £50 on a tree, pushed it into his car over the rear seats, and realising it was too long, then found it was stuck fast despite him and his wife trying to unwedge it ![]() I think I'll plant a nice tree in front of my window in the Spring, and then I can just decorate it with some lights each year. The tree always limits the number of presents that can be piled under it anyway... |
