real v artificial

Will try tomorrow
 
My tree is going up Wednesday night, actually got a new one after ours kinda fell to bits last year, will post piccies as soon as.
 
We always go to my Grandma's for Xmas day and boxing day so we don't bother putting up a tree at our house, too much hassle.

My Gran has a 2-foot plastic one that you plug in and the "tips" of the "needles" light up, it does well enough and avoids mess/clutter/packing it all away again on the day after boxing day.

My family has never done a real "full-on Christmas" thing, we just don't see the point *shrugs*


they were putting up tree's at the school I work at today, and I found myself thinking "whats the point? we're not even here for Christmas, we leave in 2 weeks??"

sorry if that sounds like a humbug :eek:
 
wait till the kids arrive then you have no choice, your whole front room becomes a shrine to advent calendars!! mind you, i remember how exciting christmas was when i was a kid so i want my kids to have the same memories. We used to go to the midnight church service then when we got home we were allowed to open one present, then bed, we used to get up in the middle of the night and wake up our dad saying "has he been yet" and my dad would go into the front room and say "no, not yet back to bed" until it was at least 6am, then the fun began. My mam would make a massive pile of toast that no-one ate cos we were too busy with selection box "trading", marathons v mars bars! LOL, oh those were the times x

hhheee!! if its a digital camera there should be a cable that came with it you plug one end into the camra and the other end into the usb port in the pc :) then a screen should come up atomachially and scroll to the bottom open folder to view pics then just drap the one you want to the desktop and then upload it here. you see the wee paper clip when u are replying to a thread click it and then browse for pic so it will be on your desktop then click the file and it will upload then you just close it. you wont see the pic until you post :)
