Christmas Tree or not email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. Lisamommy (160)3 years ago

We are going back and forth if we should put up a Christmas Tree or not. I have a 17 month old. He wants to see what everything is and also wants to taste it. My husband and I love Christmas but were thinking of skipping the tree this year. Any ideas?

unless you can put it up high just wait a few years or it will be pulled aprt or even worse eaten lol

Yes my son would eat all the ornaments and they would probably just come out the other end, but I don't want to chance it!

I'm not putting up a Christmas tree this year because of lack or space. I would skip it if I thought it would be dangerous to the little guy and just put up other decorations where he can't reach them.


myLot reputation of 76/100. Lisamommy (160)  3 years ago

Exactly my thoughts. I was thinking of just getting a small tree we could put up high somewhere so at least he could look at it.

With both of my little girls, I've still always put up a tree. When they are at that little and into everything stage, I've only actually decorated the top half of the tree...LOL! Sometimes I have put popcorn strings down lower, then if they do get into it...it won't hurt them! :*) It might look funny to others, but we know why it's that way! The girls are always in a trance over looking up at the tall tree and watching the lights on it blink. I'd say go for it and just watch how you decorate it.
Merry Christmas!

good idea about the popcorn. I think I might do that. Thanks!

You're welcome! The kids also really enjoy when I put Fruit Loops on there too on strings :*)
Remember, Christmas is for the WHOLE family...if others think you are "weird" for doing something "different"...OH WELL!! It's YOUR FAMILY'S tree!!

i say go buy one, doesnt it gives you a feeling of happiness? as for your son, if you mean ideas because, youre not sure to buy one because your 17 month old might taste the christmas tree then try and put him or her apart from it as possible and be with him or her everytime you put him or her near the tree.

Over the years I've chosen so many different themes & color schemes that I finally burnt out a few years ago.
Then I switched to color schemes. Next I began to select an object as an inspiration. I'm still in that phase I believe.
At a local fabric store I found some gorgeous material that I want to use to create a tablecloth with matching napkins. From that pattern, and those colors (silver metallic, copper metallic, red & green) I'm going to base my decorating.
Every room in the house has a tree with a different theme/color scheme. The children now do their own trees -- that's the best description I can give them because they are very unusual!
The house is filled with wreaths, garlands, swags, candles, lights, and decorations. And, most of all, I include the sense of smell to create a truly homey Christmas appeal.
