We take a look at this year’s creative Christmas trees, suitable for any festive geek

No doubt, many of you have unwrapped your new toys, eaten yourselves to a standstill and maybe even fallen asleep in an armchair by the fire.

But we thought we’d look at some of those who’ve decided to jazz Christmas up this year with their creative attempts at Christmas trees, ones any geek would be proud of.

The first of our three comes right out of Vietnam and it’s one that any phone fanatic would be proud of. 10 workers from an electronics store in My Tho, within the Tien Giang province spent two weeks arranging some 2500 unusable phones into a 15-foot glowing Christmas creation to behold. Not only does it score points in our books for its phone-focused design, but it’s also a smart example of festive recycling.

You might have caught wind of this one already, especially if you live in central London, but St. Pancras train station in the north-west of the city is currently playing host to an impressive all-LEGO Christmas tree. Made by the only certified LEGO professional, Duncan Titchmarsh and his team at company Bright Bricks (who specialize in creating giant LEGO structures), this particular tree consists of approximately 400,000 individual bricks and weighs around three tonnes. If you live in the area and haven’t yet had chance to check it out, this fine example of kids toy turned construction wonder will remain on show until January 2nd 2012.

The final tree in our little lineup is set to appeal to any gamer who’s been picking up the top titles in 2011. Ryan Kelly and his coworkers are responsible for the Portal inspired tree below, which genuinely gives the impression of bending the laws of physics with some Aperture Science techno-wizardry. The fake tree is suspended in place with adhesive hooks and fishing line, but despite the very real methods of its construction, you’ll no doubt like to think it comes straight out of Cave Johnson’s holiday season experiments.

So the washing up might be done and the remnants of spent wrapping paper tidied away, but the tree in our house will remain up for a few more days yet. In the meantime I’ll be planning how to better impress next year, probably by taking a leaf out of the the books of those above.

We again hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we can’t wait to bring you the latest coverage from 2012 as it happens. Let us know what you got from Santa in the comments below and thank you again for making GSMArena the place that it is today!
