1st christmas tree.

I love christmas. saw my 1st christmas tree of the year today.some guy had it hanging out the back of his brand new 4x4! bit early for that I thought. we normally leave it till 1st week of december. usually put up a artificial one, but this year next door and there kids are coming round on boxing day,so I've been informed. so thought it might be nice to have a real one.

    Yes, do it! Real Christmas trees are the biz! Best to buy them around 7th December, before all the good ones go, but late enough to stand a chance of making it to 6th Jan and still have needles. You need a good stand. These are the best: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Krinner-Comfort-christmas-tree-stand/dp/B00SWSUY62

    Don't be put of by the price of the stand - they last forever, you can will it to your kids!
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
