Christmas tree in Pune?

Rush08 · Dec 13th, 2008, 22:28

It doesn't feel like Christmas :-(
I'm used to freezing my butt off and decorating a plastic tree and putting gifts under it.
There isn't much I can do about the temperature, but can someone tell me where in Pune I can buy a xmas tree?

Thanks.

Improvise! I remember we decorated a large poinsettia like bush in Mexico one Yuletide - turned out pretty well actually.

And if it's any consolation - here's a closeup of ours:

We bought all our xmas stuff a few years back. One of the streets off MG Road had lots of shops selling trees and decorations. It was too long ago for me to remember the exact street, so it's not much use, but I'd take a look around that area.

For you Christmas is hot, but for us, Christmas in Pune is chilling. We really enjoy the cold weather. MG Road in camp is the best bet.

Can't recall the name but there is one shop very close to the Hanuman temple which stocks lots of decorations and what have yous. Maybe it the same one you guys are talking about as its just a few meters from Bata Chowk on MG.
