Whether your tree touches the ceiling or not, looks like you and your daughters had fun tree shopping =) Thank you for the tip about vodka and gold powder to make paint for your perfect angels….Trust your Christmas Day was wonderful.

Charlie – your cakes are so so gorgeous!
I haven’t had a real tree in so long – am thinking next year my daughter and I will have to wrestle a real one home!
Merry Christmas!

Yes, there are needles all over the carpet but it’s just for a season and I really don’t mind. The lovely scent through the home is worth it.

we have a plastic tree which has lasted for years and still looks good. the real ones are great but leave a bit of a mess don’t they?

I’ve never had a “real” Christmas Tree and we even considered not putting up our tree this year because we’ve only just come back from holidays. But as you say, you forget about the excitement of boys and girls and Miss 16 had a ball putting up the tree and decorations. I have to admit the house is now feeling much more festive!

I love your tree! So happy you could find one that you would enjoy. And the $300 tree…yikes! I would have passed that one up too. Your cakes are beautiful! 🙂

Thanks Lisa, and I just visited your blog. I wish I could leave you a comment but alas, the system just doesn’t work for me.

Hi Charlie, we bought our tree from Costco this year, I know sounds bad but they are noble firs and 7 to 8 feet tall. Anyway, love your cakes, you are so thoughtful.

We went Christmas tree shopping on Saturday and I found the perfect tree. It reminds me of the trees from my childhood. Imperfect. Short. Sparse branches. In summary, it’s an old-fashioned tree, shaped by nature, untrimmed. Perfect. And a mere $12, plus $3 for a tip.

Everyone has different ideas of the perfect tree. And that is good. I wish I had an Alfie to help me decorate mine.

Goodness, $300!! Your tree looks lovey and definitely doesn’t come across as a runt – quite big enough to be carrying too. The cakes look like a lovely alternative to tree shopping but really, I think you need to sit down with a slice and admire your tree with your feet up!
