Hey there
Christmas is coming and it would be great to get a REAL christmas tree. Anyone know if any of the many supermarkets bring them in? Would like to know in case I have to pre-order.

I was looking at importing a fiber optic Christmas tree from the UK. But they are so heavy 3kg+ the shipping would sting too much. Real ones make too much mess.

You can buy nice christmas decorations and even fiber optic trees from Dream Shopping on Airport road.

Not sure why there is such confusion this late in November. Home Center has the fiber optic trees (half-size) in their backroom. MegaMart near Ramada has MANY varieties of trees. Dasman still hasn't received theirs. And Carrefour can't decide whether or not to keep stocked or sell out and let the emptiness speak for itself. There are other small sales places around Doha (similar to MegaMart's multi-mini-shop method) that have some. Just don't hold your breath on a REAL wood tree. :^P

Anybody who never had a real christmas tree can't understand what it is all about.

I have had both, and the mess of the real wooden tree is worth the scent and flavor of being poked by real pine needles and enjoying the natural variety. But in Qatar, it is not worth the huge expense of getting a dried out, underbred, withered and scrawny wooden tree. Btw, Home Center in the City Centre Mall now has x3 varieties of trees (including full size), as well as many decorations.

Note: Still cannot find a decent star or similar decoration for the top of my tree. Family Food carries cheap plastic types, though they DO sell the Santa caps (in Al Nasser), Mega Mart has an option though not a star.

I am unable to locate something for the top of my tree also. I think I may have to buy a Barbie Princess Doll and do her a massive indignation ;)
