Different type of Xmas tree

[Old Man]

My wife and son want to have a wooden Christmas tree, which I think looks a bit odd, but hey I'll go with it I guess. Anybody else think they might go for something like this too?

I like it,but not the large tree price

Looks like a child's toy. Ghastly.

 

[Hyburnate]

Too expensive and looks stupid IMO

 

[Mr-White]

Doesn't look very Christmasy

In the new year when you take it down is it like a game of Jenga?

I do believe that looks crap.

 

[Nitefly]

That looks baaaaad.

 

[Lysander]

Utterly horrific.

Don't get them any presents, they clearly have Christmas.

It's expensive, ugly and impractical and it doesn't even have cultural tradition to offset those things. So no, I won't. I'd rather use a mop and some wire coat hangers - that would also be ugly, impractical and untraditional, but at least it would be cheap. If you're going to substitute a bad stand-in for any traditional symbol of anything, it's just daft to spend much money on it.

That not a nice tree.. Just looks like a pile of wood.

theres nothing Christmassy about having a stack of wood in your lounge imo

~Few lengths of pine 2x4 and a few hours work....money saved

I prefer that to some of the other 'alternative Christmas trees' I've seen over the years - this, albeit starkly different, is interesting, a talking point and quite unique.

I don't think I'd like one as I tend to go for a more traditional tree & decs, but I'd rather the 'jenga tree' than a black tree, or one of those fibre optic colour trees that I deem very tacky.

All real Christmas trees are made of wood anyway.

We "upgraded" to a lovely white LED one a few years ago from JL. Looked absolutely beautiful and did away with the pesky needles.

****ing dog got into the shed yesterday and bit it to pieces. Could have taken a spade to the ****.
