Thread: Finally bought a Xmas tree

oh my goodness that is a huge tree! please post a pic when it is decorated, I am sure it will look fantastic! reminds me of when I was a child, my dad forbid my mum to get a real tree, needles all over the place and so on (it was the 70's!) so she went against his wishes and brought this huge tree home, it would not fit indoors, so my mum and a neighbour, decided to chop a bit off!!! only to chop the top lol it was still too big, so they chopped a bit from the bottom, so we were left with the middle, and my dad made her put it up and decorate it, she was like "no, my friends and family will laugh at it" his reply was " should of done what I said and got the normal one from the attic" I can't help but laugh when I see a real tree now, thinking back to the disaster we had, we had a great christmas though, and it was a talking point for years to come lol
