Christmas trees...real or fake?

We have a smaller tree this year and behind it is a huge ficus tree. I put lights on the ficus and some garland so it looks pretty funny. The tree comes to a point and the ficus is fat.

I love your hibiscus and was startled when I realised you have the same drapes we have here in the computer room. Since our large living room has windows almost floor to ceiling on two walls, we have vertical blinds. Even though the drapes were lined the ones on the west side faded so we had to do something else.

Some lovely replies here thank you, and the picture of the hibiscus with the baubles on looks beautiful, and artistic too.

I mentioned before that we put ours up on the 15th....I do the inside of the house my OH lights up a huge tree outside, he risks life and limb every year to reach the top...the tree ( a fir) soars past the bedroom windows now, but the end result is always festive.

I have invited my Scot (by the way of South Africa) over for Christmas this year, he gets a kick out of our customs and Holiday food.

My Christmas chore yesterday was to wash all the windows outside and inside.

I'm not going to wash windows but I did dust the table legs, chairs and light fixures. I need to start baking! I'm going to try "Christmas Crack" this year. Sounds easy.
