How many you got?

White or coloured?

How many expletives do you mutter when putting them on? 🤬

How many? Fucking lots- it’s a fire hazard at this point

Colour: always warm white (my ND can’t handle much else lol)

It’s the worst job when it comes to decorating, hate it 😂

Putting them on is easy. As when I take them down I always rap them round something, a cardboard tube from carpet is gate but even a cereal box will help..

3 sets of lights. I could really do with another though!

Twinkling coloured

Putting the tree up makes me SWEAT. I promise myself every year that I’ll put it all away neatly so it’s less work next year. Never happens.

Warm white and loaaaads of them.

I wrap them around a blue roll tube so I just have to walk around the tree unraveling as I go

We've got fancy ones that are multi coloured, a variety of settings and the colours can come on in various arrangements etc. They weren't expensive either!

Never had a christmas tree in my adult life.

Against my better judgement have bought one just now.

I'm already anticipating lights rage.

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

I have a string of multi-coloured LED lights on my mantlepiece, which I leave there all year. I have a ballustrade in my lounge at the top of some steps, so I put lights on that, too. I stopped using a Christmas tree a couple of years ago. Instead, I decorate one of my guitars with lights, tinsel, and baubles, etc.

Fuck fuck fuckety fuck I might write a Christmas song with this as the title.

4 sets multi coloured flashing and static going full force on a 6ft a real looking artificial tree, the angel looks shagged.

It might be the last year before the tree light tax comes next year.

Go big, or go to the North Pole.

Really, yours sounds cute.

We have a big one in the living room and a small in the kitchen.

Have fun x

Each of the trees are colour coordinated in our house. I think we have about five sets of lights - and no expletives at all from me, because Ailsa always handles the decorations

I can imagine you swearing your head off when you put yours up xx

I'm swaying more towards a half tree for next year. Half the effort but just as pretty
