OMO: Recommend me a Quissmas tree

[missyburd]

Ok so never owned one of these things before and although I'm one of these normally:
http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/f/fd/Humbug.gif
I would like a little tree to decorate and that's as far as my festive cheer is going to go. I blame YC for buying me a surprise advent calendar.
I don't have the time to trail round shops checking out bargains, or go through Ebay for that matter so thought I'd ask you lovely people.

Criteria:

Don't want a massive one, about 4ft be good.
Don't want to fork out loads on a fibreoptic one (but they are pwetty).
Pros and cons of a real one - don't like messy needles.

Fire away :-P


Was even thinking of making one of these for something different...

Just get a plastic one, it'll save you money and be more environmentally friendly in the long run.

got a 4 foot black fibre optic colour changing one from B+Q last year for £15.
Bit chav but it takes 5 minutes to put up and down

More environmentally friendly than planting a real tree once Christmas is over thus allowing it to photosynthesise and hence contribute to the oxygen content in our atmosphere? I can only assume you're having me on ;):p

It is when the majority of real trees die due to being shoved out in the frosts from an overly warm environment.

If your one tree lives then yes it'll be a bit better, the photosynthesis might even offset the environmental cost of shipping you a new one next year and eventually your going to run out of space.

Got a 6ft black fibre optic tree from B&Q for £35 2 years ago. B&Q do seem to be just about the cheapest for chrimbo decorations/trees.

[dizzyblonde]

Fibre optic here too. It twinkles. Changes colour, looks tasteful, and it can have baubles if you desire.
Got it in a local garden centre, better than b&q.

[phil24_7]

Yours is probably better, but mine was probably cheaper! :)

Nothing beats the smell of a real tree! Well, except bacon. Maybe fabricate a tree from bacon.

Or maybe vegetarian bacon, for an alternative.*

Mmmm bacon!

*yes,it does exist ;)

[Fallout]

Isn't it made mainly from soy? Soy, the bane of every man's diet, making breasts grow from every gland? No thanks. You can keep your estrogen thanks very much! :-P

[dizzyblonde]

I never said I ate it!

Just thought I'd say for equality blah blah blah

Why not try the Festivus Pole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus#Festivus_pole)? Mine shall be going up soon.

[Bibio]

just buy YC lots and lots of beer so he can make a can tree. or have a party so we can staple him to the wall paint his tools lovely shades of bright colours and then hang them off him.
