Easter Trees

Does anyone else have an Easter tree?

I put mine up yesterday, i picked up the tradition whilst living in Germany may years ago, and i think they look lovely.

Is is just me? as any visitor's i have all wonder what it is

When my ds was little, the easter bunny used to leave his chocolate eggs next to the tree (where else:D), as he got older we did eggs hunts instead.

:easter:

my mum has one but she bought it in France:D I think it looks lovely. Ds2 obviously thinks so too cos he wanted to make one today - using a cardboard tube and some pipe cleaners. Not quite the same effect but it looks good:D

When our children were little I put

willow and daffodils in a vase and hang easter ornaments and chocolate bunnys from M&S. The vase would then be stood in a large shallow bowl and mini eggs etc were placed around the vase, to hide the eggs they were covered in shredded green tissue paper, grass. Now we have grandchildren this will be reinstated next year.

A friend who lives in Holland sent us some Easter tree decorations this week. Not having an Easter tree, I have had to improvise and have hung the decorations from some gold twigs I have in a tall vase on my bay window! Looks very effective though. now I want a real Easter tree for next year!

I'd completely forgotten about this thread!!

It'll soon be easter again :T I think I may need some new twigs this year, my old ones are looking a bit worse for wear and have been a bit battered about up in the attic.
