I'm having difficulty motivating myself to put anything up. We're on the top floor of a block of flats and my dad is too poorly to help in any way. I guess I could put up some nice window shit. Like snow.
I know that sounds a bit depressing, but, I live in my house on my own and there's no one else going to see it anyway (as all the parties etc go on elsewhere), so I don't see the point really.
My gf decorate the tree. She said no tinsel, no coloured lights and deffo no flashing lights. Well I managed to get some flashing coloured lights but still no tinsel. The tree looks bare. Her sisters say it looks classy. Since when was a tree covered in shiny stuff and lights classy?

Nothing worse than a middle class tree. My mum's tree is all white lights and handmade baubles. It's rubbish. It has to be gaudy, garish with a hint of sadness.
The problem is we bought our house in one of the most middle class parts of Aberdeen so she has it in her head I guess. I'm hoping we dont fall into the keeping up with the joneses shite.

I like my trees dripping in lights and baubles. Baubles don't have to match but I hate multicoloured lights. I'm okay with nice fluffy tinsel but nothing scraggily should be there. I want to be able to sit in front of the tree, fairy lights twinkling away, and feel a sense of childlike wonder. This works for me because I'm a bit of a magpie and like sperkly things.
Our tree is festooned with coloured lights (not flashing though - too annoying) and a load of all sorts of decorations from traditional baubles and tear drops etc, Euro-Disney gargantuan pieces with ears and clockwork masterpieces from Germany, through to recent acquisitions from Las Vegas and the Rockerfeller Center (sic).
