It is decorated in the style the Joseph and Mary household used at Christmas, with the added bonus that it can be used at Easter too.

This is our ceramic tree, my grandmother made it years ago (she worked at a factory that made them).


Just testing it out and cleaning off the dust on my computer desk before moving it in to the living room.

Me too but the wife has put the decorations and the tree up....I'm not all that fussed tbh.

We're having three Xmas days this year, the first was for the boy on 12th because he returns to his ship on 18th, the second on the 25th is for the daughter and the afternoon of Boxing Day will be for the wife and I after I've returned home from work.

We have (or had) one of those somewhere!
Maybe your GrandMother made it also.

After the kids were gone, the Wife and I decided the bigger trees were
to much hassle.
I probably have 3 or 4 trees in the basement.


The last full size was a 'pop-up' tree complete with lights.
It was OK until one of the Cats managed to 'un-pop' it.


I nearly died laughing before I could get the Cat out of it!

I'll post pics at some point. We actually have 2 trees this year, one big one, and one I got for $19 (both real trees) I'm putting in the room where kids will decorate cookies, and stuff at the xmas party we're having Saturday (we have a Christmas party every year for people with little kids (basically like a b-day party for both our kids in terms of guest list—a gajiillion little kids tearing around the house while the adults drink, eat, and talk. That'll keep 'em out of the living room, since the less interesting room now has a small tree at least

There were no stands, so I threw it in a bucket with a cinder block and some bricks to hold it up
