HAVE you managed to get yours up yet?

Are your baubles the envy of the neighbourhood? Do you fake it or don't you have to? 

Once again, Liverpool Confidential is looking for the fir-est of them all. A Mersey magic star of wonder that we can crown Christmas Tree of 2016.

Is that very cracker in your own front room?  Is your super spruce the one that has people rubbernecking as they pass your window?

Does your fairytale fir whisper Joy To The World and all that festive jazz? Is it full of kids decorations or something else special?

In addition to being crowned Christmas Tree Of the Year 2016, the owner of Merseyside's Top Tree will receive a slap up dinner for 2-4 people worth £200 at one of the three kings of Liverpool dining: The Malmaison Brasserie, Ma Boyle's or Thai fave Busaba. You choose, it’s on us.

Tree wise, size doesn’t matter and you don’t have to have forked out hundreds of quids - we're doing that.

Last year hundreds of you responded to our call out over social media, sharing, in pictures, your beautiful baubles: the Dickensian, the real, the fake and, in one case, reader Amanda Marman (above) decorated herself as a tree. 

Norma Malone, of Ainsdale (below), was the eventual winner, whose merry mannequin stood out from the crowd and drew gasps from you all.

A very, very close runner up, for us, was this super sweep/snowman (below) and his young, lifelike assistant by Lisa Hughes @thequeenosheba which caused us to grin from ear to ear. 

"Our little boy insisted the tree matched his outfit!" Lisa tweeted. 



Now we are searching for the 2016 tree with the X-mas Factor, the one that shouts out Christmas spirit and magic, the one that would make everyone want to come round and spend the big day at your place (don’t worry, we won’t let that happen).

We don't want to hear from professional tree decorators or commerical businesses. The rest of you, don't be shy!

To be in with a chance of winning the title and the fab prize, all you have to do is send us a snap of your tree.

There are loads of ways to enter.
