"Deck the halls with boughs of holly ... fal la la la la, la la la la ... "

So what is this year's tree colour?

 

My three year old three foot tree, has now moved from the garden into a Morrisons flower bucket and standing now at four feet is getting ready to move into the house next weekend

I do not do many lights on the tree, though I do put up all the ceiling deccies as Mum and Dad did in the fifty's, My children laugh and call me stupid, but the Grand kids love it. so that is enough for me :-)

My heating replacement was started today and expected to be complete by 17:00 tomorrow, After ten weeks of cold, I am going to put shorts on sunglasses and turn the heating up full with a bottle of Captain Morgans Blue Label by my side :-)

Yep, all dec's are not up, only got 3 cards up, nice!

 

Kids break up this weekend ... tree will arrive on Friday ready for them to decorate It will be ... errmmmm ... quite large Goes in the stairwell and reaches right up above the banister upstairs. I'll post a picture when the weekend's dressing is done ...

 

First year ever I really can't be bothered. Will probably sling some tinsel around my banana plant instead

 

I'm not doing cards. Is anyone? Some people seem to feel I'm the ultimate party pooper and socially neglectful because I can't be bothered. I plan to phone certain people that I haven't spoken to for at least a year - because we're such close friends, presumably. Maybe there's something there worth salvaging.

 

I don't bother with deccies seeing as I've got 3 of the biggest furry vandals you could wish to meet! Gone are the days when I get up to find the christmas tree on the floor and my lovely glass baubles smashed against the skirting boards. I did have a fibre optic tree, just a small one but the twinkling was too much of a temptation and this also ended up on the floor. I was thinking of decorating the mirror in the living room this year with a bit of tinsel and hoping for the best. "xmas grin"

 

They are just adorable Fern .. .I do hope you give them some tinsel/paper/ribbons to play with though ... "xmas-kitty"

 

Yes they get lots to play with .....they have always gotten very excited at present opening time and run off with bits of paper, ribbon and bows!

 

What's the worst that could happen?

 

They'll pull at the tinsel as a team and the mirror will come off the wall....they have such escapades down to a fine art!! "xmas grin"
