Yip, but you're not getting a photo :oops:

I'm sick of nearly standing on baubles after the nephew picks them off the tree too :roll:

I've often wondered how many houses would have Xmas trees if there wasn't family or even just women involved in the decision-making process :lol:

it's been up since about 1pm however it's not decorated yet. Though I'd wate for the little one to wake up from his nap before finishing it.

Mine's staying in the box this year.

I do have a nice bowl full of humbugs though :D

Just got back home to find the tree already up, in the sitting room.

The missus will no doubt do a creditable job of decorating the bloody thing, whilst I spend the time trying to keep the dog away from the tinsel.

Clicky as I can't be bothered about resizing it

I seem to have lost all my decorations. Disappeared, they have. I have a naked tree and I'm going to have to buy some new lights & tinsel tomorrow.

I don't do Christmas decorations down here as I tend to got back up to the parents for the festivities.
Their tree doesn't normally go up until about a week before Christmas although there are usually lots of cards up the wall by the now.

We've put the string of lights across the shared front of the house, because it pleases our neighbour.

Otherwise, no decos in the house. All the incoming cards are in a little pile in the living room, and I doubt they'll be displayed.

I'm a right old humbug these days. :D

Collected mine and put it up yesterday. Only got a smallish one this year as we're out and about throughout most of Christmas. We did have a fake one up that we had to put up to satisfy my neice when she came over last week. It's a bit earlier than I would really like to do it, but I can only ignore my wife's nagging for so long.
