Final update 🌲 | 34 days of our Christmas tree
Here’s the final video of our tree after 34 days 🎄
This year we cut it a week earlier than usual as a test for our eager early-November decorators.
🗓 Cut: 22 November
🧺 Taken down: Boxing Day (as always, before our son’s birthday on the 27th)
So… what’s the verdict?
The tree absolutely smelt incredible in that final week, but for us, we love it looking a little more lush on Christmas Day.
With the Australian climate in mind, cutting as close to 1 December as possible is still our winner 🌿
So our 2026 opening weekend remains unchanged —
📅 First day open: 28 November 2026
Thank you so much for sending through photos of your trees right through to the end — they looked amazing.
That one less week really is the sweet spot 💚
How did your tree hold up this year? 👇
