As plenty in rural Ireland transport their real Christmas trees home by car, the same ease isn't the case for non-drivers in cities.
A recent survey showed that three quarters of UK motorists don't quite know how to transport the real thing - 6% of motorists admitted to having had a Christmas tree precariously hanging out of their vehicle, despite dangers that holds... a further 5% said they strap their tree to the roof of their car, even if they don’t have a roof rack.
But, what about those who rely on the Luas, train or bus to get their tree home?
If Twitter is anything to go by, they're a determined bunch.

Every year when I carry my Christmas tree home, I remind myself to carry it on my hip, like an overgrown, sap covered toddler, so I don’t look like Meg Ryan in the part of When Harry Met Sally... where everything is ruined and horrible. pic.twitter.com/UBtvF7mjsm

Being an adult means buying your own Christmas tree.
Being a grad student means buying ornaments at Dollar Tree, using lights from the previous tenants, carrying tree et al onto the bus, and doing this all while procrastinating on school work. pic.twitter.com/k5GNZCPZVD— Angelo Jesus Canta (@ajxcanta) November 29, 2018

[Sally, in jeans and a plain jacket, has just bought her Christmas tree ... she’s going to carry this damn tree home alone if it kills her.]
...I really did carry it all the way home and up the steps alone. pic.twitter.com/Y9oddWRrUd
