Christmas Trees But Not As You Know Them
It's been a while since I made a post for @old-guy-photos Tree Tuesday initiative and when you see this one you'll maybe wish I'd waited a bit longer. 😂. 😂 😂
You'd think with all the gorgeously decorated Christmas trees around I'd have something rather spectacular to post but, no, my lack of posting has also meant that there has been a lack of photograph taking but, hey ho, it what it is.
These rather unusual trees are all wrapped up for Christmas with their crocheted jackets and woolly pom poms.
Palm trees aren't something we usually associate with Christmas in the UK but I thought they were rather fun when I spotted them at a local National Trust Property.
They also twinkle at night! 😁
This next one represents one of my favourite things to do at this time of year . . . have a nosey into other people's houses.
It gives you the warm and fuzzies doesn't it? 😁
Wishing you all a cosy and wonder full day! 😊

I think it's wonderful to branch out of the Christmas Tree mindset Gillian. Great to let other trees, as well as the traditional pine, become part of the Christmas celebration. LOVE that someone thought to add some colour to these majestic palms. Well spotted and I'm so pleased you shared them. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Thank you @allyinspirit. These were just some of the many trees that were decorated with pompoms and crochet. Pom poms seem to be the "in" thing this year. 😁

I very vaguely remember making pom poms as a kid, by winding wool around a round piece of cardboard with a hole in the middle. Used to love making them.
I'm looking at making my own Christmas Tree, but have no idea where to begin yet ~ And Christmas will be here in the blinking of an eye. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I used to make pom poms like that too @allinspirit. But nowadays you can buy pom pom making kits with three different size plastic gizmos.
I borrowed one from a friend to make a pom pom for a hat. I'm not sure it was any more efficient though! 😁
You'd better get going if you're planning on making your own tree. I thought about that this year too but ran out of time. 😂

Find it so humorous that pom poms are becoming trendy. They have always seemed like such a straight thing.
YES. It's that time of the year where there are a million things that one needs to do. And time goes even faster than usual. Maybe my tree will have to be a fairy's tree. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

It's one of the best things about winter in my opinion @lynncoyle1 - early evening before people draw their curtains. I always draw mine promptly to stop nosy people like me taking a butchers.

Yep. They are a little unusual in the UK, to say the least @bimjer, but you can always rely on the National Trust to put on a good show. 😊
I hope you're well and things are good with you and yours.

Yeah it is a thing over here to drive around and check out the neighborhood's lights!

Ah yes. But it's not the lights I'm really looking at it's the inside of people's houses in general. 😂
