Serving us faithfully since 2005, our terrible, mis-shapen Woolworths fibre optic Christmas tree. So bad we kept it and now we love it!

Emsworth once had a thriving oyster industry, until the Dean of Winchester died after eating contaminated Emsworth oysters in 1902. There is still a modest amount of fishing and a few years ago a Christmas tree made from lobster pots was introduced. It sits on the Quay and has become really quite popular.

Nice. Have a look at the Ullapool ‘creel tree’. It’s really beautiful.

That’s beautiful, and what a great setting on the shore. It’s very similar to ours but of course bigger. I think this is our third year. Maybe the idea came from ours, though it seems unlikely.

Working thru the Indiana Jones movies with our 10 year old son, this week was Last Crusade. Love a film night with the tree up and logs on the fire

Modern metal tree on landing with 1960s Woolies decorations, and a real tree in the lounge downstairs.

Apologies for sideways - have tried rotating original to counter this but that doesn’t work… not had this problem before

Here’s ours, seems so odd for us with the whole thing based on snow, log fires, eggnogs etc when it’s 40c outside and the kids are in the pool.

Was in the city on Monday, the tree in the Queen Victoria Building is 26m tall and goes through 3 floors. Apparently it’s the tallest Christmas tree in Sydney.

Not mine, but a very imaginative and pretty effort using lobster creels, from the folks up in Ullapool.
Mind you, the Beeb states " the latest version of a Ullapool tradition dating back to 2016."
a tradition? / 2016? … So, this will be the third year they’ve done it … get a grip, Auntie.
