The 2018 Christmas tree showdown!

[pigeonboy]

It's that time of year again folks time to show me your Christmas spirit!

This year I don't care what you show off so long as you show it-trees, wreaths, cakes, turkeys, this year's festive fashion choice....

Here's my work in progress





I say working in progress because this Saturday I'm off on a glass blowing course to blow my own Christmas baubles

Don't be shy. Let's show the grinches what we're made of

Ho ho ho

Can't wait to see what you blow!
I'm not putting it up for another 2 weeks at the very least, and even then, it's mostly for my cat.

I'm a little early I know. But with Bauble blowing I wanted it up soon rather than later.

Ugly Christmas jumpers: to be fair I actually like many and don't find them ugly. I may draw the line at flashing ones though. Just a festive pattern suits me fine.

I love this. That is a household with festive spirit even bigger than the house

So I picked up my bauble. It's a bit of a monster!



I'm gonna have to reinforce my tree before I hang it

Was really good fun though making it

I'd have liked it to be slightly stronger in colour but it made a cute baby bauble inside when i added the hook so it's all good

[odduck]

^ Lucky you have such strong arms to keep it up

Speaking of baubles, have you guys seen the RPDR Holi-slay Spectacular?

[pigeonboy]

I watched last night. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it tbh. It all just felt a bit pointless, though the runway was great.

[odduck]

I was just happy to see Kim Chi and Shangela and Latrice again
Maybe I'll watch it again on xmas.

[pigeonboy]

I love a bit of fanny at Christmas

I watch this series every year on the run up to Christmas week. it's become a bit of a ritual. I always finish up feeling a bit sorry for Sarah and hoping that she's happy now.

Another year in a row without a proper Christmas tree[emoji319]. Hopefully, that won’t be the case next year.

Thanks! The lights stopped working after one day, but I do like it. I asked my parents to send me little things I wouldn’t mind throwing away when I leave, so all of my decorations were purchased from the dollar store. I might have a hard time parting with this one. Lol

Aaaarrrgggghhhhhhhh!!!!! This must be one of the most Christmassy things ever! I'm picturing the Christmas jumpers and eggnog already.

Is that just and effect of the light on the bottom and top of the tree or some sort of fancy decoration?

[Erik]

yeah it's just the sun!

[Peterican]

yeah it's just the sun!

Looks cool. The top seems fine to me as well.

Love love love!

Especially the tinsel. I have a love hate relationship with tinsel. The kid in me loves the shiny coloured kind. The grown up in me tells me to leave it in the the box. Yours is like tinsel for grown ups!

You can also save me the maltesers in that box of celebrations

[odduck]

I wanted to use a golden rainbow reflection tinsel. D went for the frosted tips one. Or do you mean the pearl necklace is the grown up tinsel?

Sure, you can have the maltesers, I only ever really eat the mars anyway

[Magnetar]

Happy holidays!

[odduck]

Looks great and super cute

[pigeonboy]

I knew you wouldn't let me down Magnetar!

for the tree and the woofer

[Magnetar]

Thanks guys!

Wish I could take a sharper photo (it looks a lot nicer irl), but my camera and LED lights don't seem to mix.

But hey, it's the christmas spirit that counts, right?

[Peterican]

have y'all started taking stuff down yet?

[pigeonboy]

Not for me yet. Not normally until twelfth night (twelve days after Christmas). It does start to annoy me though so I might do it after new year.

[Peterican]

i usually wait until three kings day, but that's not going to happen this year just like it didn't happen last year.

[Magnetar]

Eventhough things are still different than normal, I hope everyone has a lovely time.

[judaschrist]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[Magnetar]

Happy holidays!

[Peterican]

Happy holidays!

Whats that?

[Magnetar]

Whats that?

That is Longneck, he is from the Grimm fairytale 'The Six Servants', one of many fairytales in the Fairytale Forest, which is a part of Efteling theme park, here in the Netherlands. He watches over the Fairytale Forest and all its characters/inhabitants. He is kind of an icon to us. Think of it like how Americans grow up with Disney parks, we grow up with Efteling. The park is open all year and During the wintertime they dress up the fairytale characters with wooly hats and scarfs, among other winter decorations.

Haha, how to say "I am Dutch" without saying you’re Dutch

Happy holidays everyone!
