How refreshing to read your post It's so nice to think about something other than the big V and all it's consequencies.

Sounds lovely. We always have a real tree and dress it in a Victorian theme to match our Victorian house. I love Christmas.💗

I’d love real trees but our Visla boy (Dog is allergic to pine )
I’ve more or less resigned to the fact we won’t be going to the villa so
I’ll be going all out with transatlantic Fall Halloween Christmas
Pumpkin Spice coffee bar Pick your poison for Halloween and hot coco
For Christmas with of course egg nog and hot cider punch
There will of course be just a tiny hint of Disney in each theme
There will also be in each theme some sort of nativity as there always is that’s actually where I’ve got one theme from rich jewel ie gold franchise and Mir but a few wild cards in with it too

We have had the same XMas tree that my wife and I purchased 22 Years ago ... in January. (We had a £5 Tree that Christmas).

It was £120 in B&Q around Dec 01.
It was £80 in B&Q around Dec 20
It was £60 in B&Q around Dec 28 and Mandie was desperate to buy..
It was £40 in B&Q around Jan 03. I was vindicated.. plenty left though.
It was £20 in B&Q around Jan 05 and just a few.. I pounced.

Same with decorations.. they were all purchased in January.. plus some of those Disney ones that Primark were flogging of real cheap a while back.

One of my Balsam Hill trees is 20 years old brought back fron a trip to Florida before luggage restrictions
I buy nothing if it’s not on sale we do family swap outs with seasonal decor
Re think reuse and shop at home to change decor oh and spray and chalk paint can change the look of something in a couple of hours
I’ve just revamped a cast=Iron patio set for DIL that was put out for trash pick up £100 in total to recover cushions parasol and paint same set over £1000 in a local garden centre this week
