Christmas decorating in Australia is appalling and an abomination before god. So cheap looking, nasty and tacky. If you're not going to decorate properly just don't, please I beg of you. Local councils and shopping centers in particular are repeat offenders and seem to be beyond any kind of reform.

Not my decorations, I only get the most tastful and classy decorations for my display. I am thinking of getting a new piece this year. Do you think this or this would work better? I'm a bit torn about whether the more expensive option is worth the extra.

I rocked this bad boy a few years back. I actually don't know where it is now though..

Edit: wtf sideways image syndrome

I like the more expensive option and would dress it up 😊🦕

The green one. It's in the right colours at least!

According to the description the blue dinosaur is also green. It is also taller and would draw the eye upwards to the santa legs sticking out of the chimney.

Is it Wish green?

Someone get that dinosaur a lighter.

You’re a mean one Mr Grinch 😭

Not at all, I just want quality decorations. Here is a very good example of a classy Xmas tree.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow that colourway is unique. I like it.

You reckon this decoration is adequate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Look I don't hate it, but it's a touch post modern for my tastes.

feast your eyes on this https://newdewolf.be/fr

that place has such beautiful items but it's expensive. I could easily spend E2500 on a tree and decorations

I think "the hop" is my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Did you really think you were going to get away scot free with a statement like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I said what I said.

Tinsel is an abomination! Also and environmental and health hazard. Ban the gunk!
