23 sleeps....

He's making a list, he's checking it twice [tchgrin]

Today I am putting the christmas tree up!

Hurrah!

My tree is wonky! Wish I had one of those lovely fat trees.

I need a tree organiser.....

What's wonky about it?

Shit morning this morning so I'll need a distraction.

It just looks gappy and not fat enough IYSWIM?

What's been happening?

Get a new tree [tchgrin] A real one!

How long have you had it?

Can't beat a real tree. Getting mine tomorrow if I find time to clear all of my shit out of the way.

I heard my first Christmas song on the radio earlier

Get a fraser fir! Thanks to farrow I'm addicted to those type of trees now. Mine is lovely, and full, and lush.

They are the best tree though. Big, thick bushy, soft needles, smell fantastic, long lasting, doesn't drop a lot....I love them.

As it is 23 days until Christmas I shall pretend it doesn't exist until the week before. Only then will I do the annual chore of putting the tree up.

I must sound so curmudgeonly, but every year I find it more and more of a hassle. If we didn't have DD I don't think I would bother.

Sigh, I have Christmas cards to write. I think I will invest in a rubber stamp with our names on.

Oh I hate christmas cards bun

Got the tree last year farrow

mama am bit worried ChestyDog would want to pee on a real tree, repeatedly

I can honestly say that dogs wanting to pee against the Christmas tree has never been a problem.

Have you fluffed up all the "needles" and spaced them out properly?

Hello < wave> our needles are fluffed too!

Ha ha at dogs peeing against the tree. Mine are thankfully fine. No needle has dropped yet! See you on 22 sleeps...
