C’mon admit it

Who else has Christmas tree OCD

You know let the kids decorate the tree then meticulously rearrange when they have gone to bed

Evenly spaced , even colours and size

My name is Scarlettx and I have a problem haha

Me! It has to be done right! Luckily my kids have picked up on this over the years and so now they are as bad as me

I do but I can trust my son to help me he’s been trained the right way. We both add baubles, step back and look, before readjusting

And further to that it took us 45 mins in the garden centre to choose the perfect real tree

Normally I’m with you on this, uniformity, neatness. This year we threw it up late at night when we were tired and haven’t had chance to sort it yet so it’s just gonna have to do!! It’s a bit of a mess.

ours always looks like a tinsel explosion, you can’t even see the tree anymore cause of the amount of decorations that get put on it

Not even got it out of the loft this year as my son wasn't bothered about having it up and as I don't personally celebrate Mr Edmunds (being cryptic) it really was up to him

This is a fantastic idea, maybe even put the kids one in their room too

I thought Christmas trees were supposed to look like a tinsel monster barfed all over them.

When I was a kid we had the posh tree in the front room filled with beautiful glass ornaments from John Lewis. We were not allowed to touch it!

In the kitchen we had a smaller tee on which we could place all our home made stuff from school.

Oh I'm awful for it! And each year I have a different theme. But I can't stand tinsel so that's never on the tree. I will spend hours of an evening looking for the perfect inspiration. Even though i live alone im sure the dog appreciates my efforts

My cat is jealous of anyone going near the tree.

It climbs it then lashes out if you attempt to touch it.

Back when I used to put up and decorate the tree I kinda had to make it so as there was absolutely no pattern or any kind of symmetry to the baubles and tinsel. If anything seemed to look organised in any way it had to be moved to a pleasingly haphazard spot instead.

Just a little quirk of mine I guess.

Check out the Simon's Cat videos on youtube. They may put you off of bothering with a tree though

Ours is just a random mess of everything christmassy that has been made and gathered over the years. Ive bought a few posh bits for it but they get lost in amongst the glitter pasta and threadbare tinsel

No tree, no decorations, no problem.

There's only me and the cats and they really don't give a shit.

I'll lock the doors, pull the curtains and shut the world out for a few days.
