This is how my Dad used to do the tree,he always had a real tree and had special candle holders with candles instead but that was when I was 2 or 3 years old this is when this photo was taken and is the only one I have.My mum may have more.

WOW Speedy, your Christmas Tree is absolutely beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteMummy Say's thanks that she only uses glass baubles aned two colour shred and that some of the baubles are as old as she is and so is the Nativity scene under the tree her daddy used to use them when was very little she even has an old photo of it,xx Speedy
DeleteIt's BEAUTIFUL! My peep hasn't grown the magical tree yet this year. It's magical 'cause one moment there's no tree and then the next... viola! purrs
ReplyDeleteHe will don't worry,xx Speedy
DeleteMy magical tree doesn't go up till the first - a tradition I started myself.. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut Speedy, there seems to be a bit of a lack of bunnies in the Nativity scene .. Maybe we should sneakily replace a couple of those sheepies with bunnies? ;)
I'll have to see if I can get hold of some,if I can I'll do an up date on the photo,Rachel and Speedy.
Deletep.s I normally wait till the 1st my self this week end I normally do the lights out side but the weather is too bad and I was in the mood to do something so I did the whole of the inside nearly still have some finishng touchs to do
Speedy, I can think of a very nice bunny who is just the type to join the nativity scene. aj
Deleteme to but he's a little bit big,but I'll find a bunny to add to it
DeleteCould he be the star shining in the east?
DeleteSpeedy is every ones shining star,xx Rachel
DeleteSoSOsosos pretty! Christmas trees always make my heart flutter. I love the thought of all those ornaments from childhood. I am worried about putting up lights and glass ornaments this year because Spider is so crazy. So I am just going to do all paper crafted ornaments and garland and no lights. But I am going to use Disco amounts of glitter and metallic embellishments.
ReplyDeleteThat Nativity scene is precious. I just might try to squeeze my fat butt through the fireplace and claim squatters rights in your living room!
sofa is comfy,you can get some nice shatterproof ornaments now as well.about half of the ornament are from my child hood the other half are one me and the hubby have brought together to add to the collection as some of the old one became so brittle that they broke,but I given them extra padding now when the get put away so I haven't lost any for a long time.
Deleteoh I just thought you can get battery operated fairy lights done with little LED's so no cables to plug in
Very pretty Speedy! I've never seen a nativity scene at the bottom of a tree. That's really cool I like it!

DeleteWe always have a real tree, so it doesn't go up until the week of Christmas--otherwise it would be nothing but a pile of needles by Christmas Day! :)
ReplyDeleteThats what my dad used to do,but when you have very pale yellow carpet a read tree is a no go,plus real trees are so expensive and my tree is a very high quality tree it was very expensive but I got it for a steal in a sale so it almost looks real,xx rach
