I was long doubting this year would I set up the Christmas tree yes or no. I have for years an artificial tree which is stocked in the attic during most time of the year. To drag it down the stairs and built it up is a lot of work but it makes always a nice atmosphere in the room.
At least Sofietje thought it was a great idea and was happy with the big box downstairs.
Hubby SC decided to follow the proces by camera.
You can see how much I enjoyed the job.
The tree is so old it loses its needles like a real one, never thought that was possible.
And here the result of all the efforts.
Het kost even wat moeite maar het resultaat staat er!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh my! I too would not look forward to assembling that tree. The fake tree we have the branches all flop out when you set it upright. After the first year, the lights were left on it when I packed away. Each year, set it up in the stand and "PRESTO" instant Christmas tree. Plug it in and walk away. Well there are the ornaments to contend with. Not my job.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe end result makes it worth the work!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSofietje of course wants the box all to herself!
I have a tree like yours. I put it up and somebody else decorates. However, I haven't put it up for the last two years.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSofietje would clearly have been disappointed if you hadn't put it up. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, that's a nice big tree ! I had the same doubts this year but finally put up the smallest Christmas tree we ever had, but we will celebrate Christmas in Amsterdam anyway !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is very pretty. ..but I know what you mean. On the years ours kids don't come for Christmas, we don't bother. It is a lot of work.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is work but the results are very pretty.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe end product is really nice. And no pine needles to pick up.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLast year we "downsized" without a tree, which I hated. This year I bought a flocked artificial tree that came in only 3 pieces. It is beautiful. the result of your work is lovely!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have a tree that comes in 3 pieces also. Love it, you don't have to put each branch in. Love the photos!
