My so called 'christmas tree'

So, it is that time of the year again-Christmas market, Gluhwein(mulled wine), Bratwurst(grilled sausages), crepes, waffles, gold, red, green..... For the last 4 years, we've been celebrating Christmas with His family, and this year, we've decided to have a Christmas with just the two of us. Romantic? wait till you read the rest.....We were supposed to go to London for Christmas and New Year, after getting a mild heart attack when we checked out the flight, and with so much money spent on our last trip to South of France, we decided to stay here in Germany for our 2 weeks long holiday, to chill.
Christmas won't be Christmas without a tree, and i've always wanted one and never- had one(for the last 26 years to be exact), but the problem came- i have a tiny flat, to put a real christmas tree(i don't like artificial tree) would mean i have to leave it in my balcony(which would've been nice), but costly too, as you need to buy all those lights and decorations etc etc to 'fill' it up! So, I've decided to go for a Cheap version. I know, i know, i'm all about budget right now:
Ta Da!
Yes, branches, don't think i just pick them in a park or something, i had to buy them from the florist in town and it cost me 4 euros!
It is still work in progress, but i'm quite happy with what i've got so far! Here's another picture:Lighting still need to re-adjust...
(i know im quite pathetic to have a fake fireplace, but i live in a post-war building, and there is no fireplace in these buildings anymore, so we will have to wait till i move into a period building, and live with this for now)
