A few years ago, after I saw that a friend named their Christmas tree, I decided to do the same. To date, my trees have been named Gaston, Albert, and Cailun. The names in the running this year were Theodor, Huw, George, Tasha and, of course Fergus.
Fergus was the overwhelming choice of my friends and family. I really liked the name Fergus but also liked Huw. I use coloured lights on my Christmas trees and thought it was neat that a homophone of Huw is hue. But also because my father's middle name was Hugh. Maybe Huw will be the name of next year's tree. The deciding factor for Fergus was when one of my friends commented Fir GUS. I hadn't even clicked in on the fact that the tree was a fir tree.
Anyway Fergus is a hefty guy. Lifting him into the house was quite a feat. The trees always look so small on the lot but when I got him home I wondered if he was going to be too tall. He wasn't he was just the right height. He does have a bend in his trunk so to make him look straight in the tree stand he had to be at a bit of an angle. It's not visible from the front as he leans back somewhat.
With no further introduction, meet Fergus. My Christmas tree for 2025.
