    Not long to go now!

    Ours are still in the loft so today's task is to bring them down and put them up :smile:

    We might even put up outside lights, who cares about the energy crisis...

        After B became unwell and couldn't cope with all the fuss we just made do with the cards. Then after she died I couldn't be bothered.
        I may get them down this year, if I can find them amongst all the other stuff in the attic !

          I'm starting mine on Monday, it will take me most of the day to do the tree, but i love it. The collection gets bigger every year, this year i've bought 5 figures, a swag and lots of baubles, cones and a small flocked Christmas tree, most of them reduced or special offer. I've got them in a built-in wardrobe and it's getting full.

            None this year as we're going away.:hapydancsmil:
            I find them a bit claustrophobic , despite never putting many up anyway.
            I hate putting them up and take them down as soon as possible.

                  We're not doing as much this year - no lights outside at all, which for us is quite unusual. We've got the tree up though (with some dogs in front of it)....

                      They are SO cute Michael.

                      As it is St Nicholas Day our outside lights went on with The Baffa lit in the background ...
