PHOTOS: A selection of your Christmas trees

The weather outside is frightful…

AS STORM BARRA passes over Ireland, many of us are waiting indoors.

To distract from the bad weather, we asked you to send in photos of your Christmas trees and lots of you obliged.

We can’t share them all here but thanks to everyone who got in touch.

Seasons Greetings one and all!

Michelle Duignan describes her tree as “chaotic, fun and interactive” and “loved by all” in the family. We hate to break it to you Michelle, but there are simply not enough ornaments on it.

“Here is my Christmas Tree I put up at the weekend. It’s decorated with nine marathon medals (three of which I completed in October, Belfast, London & Dublin) countless 3/4 and half marathon medals with a few 10kms thrown in for the craic. That voice inside your head telling you you can’t is a LIAR.

“I needed cheering up at the weekend, with all the new restrictions coming in and another Christmas isolating to protect vulnerable family members. I needed a reminder of what I achieved during lockdown and alone.

“If I do say so myself, it’s a very beautiful, uplifting Christmas Tree. We find strength and resilience in the strangest of places. I found it on the roads, trails and mountains during a pandemic. Happy Christmas.”
