My decorations will go up on Saturday. I always put them up on the first Saturday in December, I am happy because it's nice and early this year.
I always put a star on top of my tree until my daughter bought me an angel last year for christmas. So now I have a really pretty angel in a white dress with silver stars. She's lovely, and to be honest she'd go up on the flippin tree even if she was as ugly as sin just because my daughter bought her for me (but maybe I'd turn her to face the wall just a little bit!)
I went looking for the upside down trees on eBay and found this:-

I have to say "How altogether daft does this look??? Answers on a postcard please"
I hope everyone has a good time putting up their decorations whatever kind of tree they have, tinsel or no tinsel, and upside down or rightway up may your baubles remain where they are supposed to be. (And if not may you have good insurance!)
