        Thank you @CanadianLori for a few years now we like the white lights with the clear decorations. Hubby had to quickly go out and get a replacement set of lights, the wire had broken off on the old set.

                  Reminds me of a conversation I had the other day with a friend. "Christmas tree, making decorations, horrors, next I'll be watching Hallmark Christmas romance fluff!".

                      Decided to use the small tree again this year, much prefer it now, as I use to find it all got a bit claustrophobic during the hols, especially when the brood arrived as well.

                      Some decorations may look 'naff' but hold a lot of memories of Christmas long gone when our sons were small ....pride and place always goes to the very battered and dodgy looking angel...:heehee:

                        @Upsydaisy We have a similar old and battered angel, hand made by one of our little ones nearly 40 years ago.

                            I've got some decorations from when I was little myself. I usually put them up, and an old faded mouse in a shoe which was Beryl's and she hated ... but I always put it up. If other people think they're naff I don't care, it isn't their business.

                            This year however they won't go up because I don't don't feel like looking for them amongst all the junk in the attic, so they can take a gap year :smile:
