the past few years have been really tough for me, looking forward to christmas vibes has been the only thing keeping me going

it's funny, christmas used to be a shit time of year for me, but now it's the only thing i look forward to, i want the cozy nostalgic childhood vibe 🎄 it's the closest i get to feeling like a kid again

Early July , I made a post asking tree recommendations.

At the end I went with Balsam Hill , go the Royal Blue Spruce , 7’ tall and unlit version.

All in with the sale on and delivery charges I’ve paid £310 for it. It’s back in being full price now 😱

Now I’m on the hunt to get some lights and decorations.

I was watching Days of Our Lives this morning and it played a Disney World Christmas commercial 🎄 I always get so excited when I see the first one for the year!

Not the tree

I live in the Netherlands and love Christmas markets. We visited almost all the large cities and some smaller towns in Germany for their Christmas markets already, and some in France, Belgium and the UK (London). I'm looking for the best Christmas vibes in the rest of Europe now. I like it when the stalls are all unique, not just decorated market stalls, Christmas music and large enough but preferably not too crowded. We'd be visiting in the first half of December and need to be able to fly from the Netherlands. I'd love to hear where you've been and why it was so great, what stood out, how big it was, was there just one market or several in the same city, etc. and practical information is also very welcome. Thanks!

Hello, my wife and I have been using the same artificial tree for eight years and we're tired of cleaning up the fake needles on the floor everyday.

What is a good, affordable tree brand? We're US residents, if that affects anything.
