    Has to be a real tree all day long imo. Nothing like that smell when you get in the door after work.

    Christmas Tree, with a pine tree you will be picking out pine needles out of your feet for the next 6 months, even with non drop. Pine trees don't do well with central heating. A good quality Christmas Tree will last for years and save money in the long run. Kind of nice getting the same tree out with all the memories attached as well.

    Twig trees look kind of sparse and spartan so full christmas tree.

    Nobles & Nordman are best for needle retention , Nobles are the nuts , but very expensive, normally best to buy British grown, as they are cut later and therefore fresher.

    Cut an inch off the bottom of the tree stump before you bring it into the house , don't put it next to a radiator or fireplace otherwise the needles will dry out and fall off, make sure the stand you put the tree into is topped up with water as they drink about a pint of water in the first few days.

    Weekend of the 7th & 8th will be mental so buy earlier if you can , better selection of trees on Saturdays rather than Sunday.

    I dont like these modern takes on Christmas trees. Fake pine or real one for me.
    We get ours from Barnet Wood Rd, Bromley. They have a good choice, good quality and a fair price.
    I water them to keep the needle drop to a minimum. It doesn't bother me if a few needles come off the tree over the course of a few weeks, easy enough to sweep up off my floor.

    Normally get a potted real tree, they never drop needles but having picked these 2 up on Friday, don't think a tree would last 5 minutes this year.

    Tree. No themes with single colour schemes please. Just as tacky as possible loaded with plenty of decorations, multi-coloured lights, chocolate money, fairy or bells on top. And Poundland lametta is essential (Is that the only place you can buy it now? RIP Woolworths).

    Why do the fairy lights work fine when I put them away and not, when I get them out. Spent a couple of hours sorting the **********s out yesterday!!
