My wife and I have been doing this for years. We use a regular artificial tree and just leave some of the branches folded up and tuck it into the corner. We "reinforced" the base with a cardboard box and some weights - which is essential because otherwise it'd fall over with the weight of the ornaments.

Saved you £45, you're welcome.

Hexagon apartment

This is just dystopian tbh. People don’t even have room to fit a Christmas tree.

My point is that we dont need a big house. Hell living smaller wil fix tons of problems, especially for the US.

Congratulations, you're one of today's lucky 10,000.

I have a fake tree and I pit it in the corner each year. Half the branches just stay pointed up instead of extending them. Been doing it for years!

My aunt used to do this with her artificial tree 30 years ago… she’d just not put on the branches for the back side

You know what’s really sad? Dying of thirst in the desert. People in Flint need to be happy they have water at all.

See how you sound?

why do we want humans doing this job? there is way more productive things that we can do or enjoy doing…

I tried to do this, but used some command strip hooks… which was a bad idea. Some of them pulled paint off my apartment wall. Would’ve been better if I just used tacks.

Ah. That is a different iteration, which explains why it's a thing now.That makes sense.

You're not understanding the half correctly. It's not half, as in top and bottom. It's half as in front and no back. Like it sits flat against the wall and is a semicircle shape as opposed to the normal circle. I don't believe that goes back anywhere near the 60s or 70s. It's legitimately a new product.

If the new normal for video cards is $1000, I guess I'll start retro gaming

I like this, but at the same time, it’s sort of speaks to the fact that young people can’t afford a home. Thus living in small space. 😬

Inflation hitting Santa hard.

You didn't mate.

>Why is this a thing now?

You seemingly not understanding why this is a thing.

> Artificial trees used to always come in 2 parts. You had to assemble the top to the bottom.

You commenting on top and bottom parts, different from a left and right part / only half a tree which can be put flat against a wall.

>Which was easier to decorate everything but the lights on the top portion.

More about the top.

I just had my kids paint a Christmas tree on the wall a couple years ago. It's still there and will work again this Christmas.

Even smaller footprint. Corner Christmas tree

Actually I did.

I thought this was a trend of couples who split.

Then say so. You only questioned why this was a thing and something about top to bottom.

“Than ever before” = “since 2015”?

Of all things to complain about, this isn’t one.
