How old is your Christmas tree?

Our current (artificial) Christmas tree is a couple of years old but we had our previous one around 15 years before it fell apart.
Was yours handed down from? Is it an heirloom?
We'd love to hear from anyone with old Christmas trees.

1-5 yearsHey folks,
We started this off on the Christmas board but we'd love to get more replies so we've moved it to the Families board.

Well, we've lived in this house for 26 years and we had it at the old house. :eek:MSE_Andrea wrote: »@Pollycat How old is your tree?!
It's probably 30 years old.
I'd love to buy a new one but they are all so bushy that my many glass baubles (some of which I've bought from different places, including Macy's in NY and Khan al Kalili souk in Cairo and others from shops no longer in business) wouldn't hang right.
I need a tree with lots of space between the branches - and it needs to be 6 feet 6 inches tall.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My sister has the perfect tree for my baubles but won't hand it over. :mad:
Just looked at the box (which is waiting to back in the loft, we only put the tree up over the weekend) and it cost £29.99. :eek:
I want something like this but without lights.

My Mum and Dad have an angel that goes on top of their tree. They bought her the first Christmas they were married (1965) and she's been on their tree every year since - this year will be her 54th Christmas

11-15 yearsOurs came with us when we moved, which was about a decade ago, and we'd had it for quite a while at the old place, so I guess it's about 11 - 15 years old, possibly even 16-200

We bought our first house 20 years ago next March and we bought the Christmas tree that same year, so I make our tree 19 years old. Bought it from Wilkos and I think it cost £50 at the time. It is getting ready though, so not sure how much longer it will last.0
