Moved house in the summer so dd has a new bedroom. She's 3 so will really 'get' father christmas this year for the first time. Her new bedroom has a little (empty) fireplace, but no mantlepiece. Living room has a gas fire, which is very 80s and underwhelming from a festive "look" point of view, but does have a cruddy mantlepiece.
So - the big question: which chimney would father Christmas rather come down? Should dd hang her stocking up (somehow!) in her bedroom or should she hang it in the living room, where there'll be a tree and I can bang a nail into the crappy fire surround?
Would father Christmas be able to get out from behind the gas fire?
Would he scorn an eighties fake fire and prefer to squeeze out of the tiny bedroom fireplace?
Would purchasing dd a little fake tree (and allowing her to independently decorate this one, thereby hopefully allowing me to decorate the living room tree solo without toddler 'help') for her bedroom make it sufficiently christmassy for St Nick to pay a visit?
Decisions decisions!
