All this talk of Christmas trees is getting me excited .
We are a real tree family. We make a day of it, usually the first weekend in December. We have a nice festive breakfast then go out and choose one. We have to make sure everyone agrees on it and is happy. Only once has it been too tall . All adds to the day though . All our baubles are different, nothing matching and colour schemes here. They all have sentimental value, either ones we've had made with their tiny handprints on when they were babies, ones they've made at school etc. It's always nice looking through them, with the kids saying "Ahh look at this one" and "OMG I remember that" . We let them decorate it and I make slight adjustments when their in bed . All with Christmas music blaring. Usually me getting emotional about when our almost 16 year old used to dance to rocking around the christmas tree when he was a toddler.

Only one rule which is Strictly no tinsel downstairs though!

They have multicoloured tacky, garish, Tinsley Christmas trees in their bedrooms. Which they adore! My daughters is bright pink and she loves it!

Yes, I agree with you. Since COVID there seems to be a lot of people (includind me) who put their decorations up earlier than before.

Ours now go up no later than 1st December. I love Xmas, I'm 67 and it just gets better every year. My grandson will be 18 months this Xmas and I can't wait to see his little face light up.

Dobbie's the garden centre also had some nice baubles last year that might look vintage.

I generally like traditional ones, not avocados.

The natural history museum had dinosaurs. I loved the imperial war museums ones too though- Santa's in war planes.

The habitat website still has them but have to pick up from Argos. My local has some left for pick up but I can’t drive so I’d look mental taking a 6ft tree on a bus or taxi in August might get a couple of the mini ones for the bedroom and office though, I could hide them in bags

I bought this Christmas joke loo roll last year and it was a success. Every time someone went to the toilet, they came back telling us all the joke they had read on the toilet roll while they were peeing. . I bought it for £2 in The Works. I'm definitely getting another one this Christmas

my sons birthday is a few days before your due date. He loves Christmas more than his birthday, we’ve always had the tree up before or even on his birthday! Every year he says he loves that his birthday is in Christmas month and he’s quite happy to have the Santa visit/garden centre dec shopping etc for part of his birthday. Hopefully for you your new little one will embrace it too

Must have pissed off someone at Argos as they’ve completely removed the listings for those trees 🫣
