        I don't even do that. I can barely bring myself to put up the few Christmas cards I receive

            And another letdown decorating the tree last night, I had one bauble bigger than the other, a friend turned up and only one bauble and the other friend two baubles but very small. Puting them on the tree, always the left bauble hung lower.

                The tree doesn't go up before my birthday.

                That's the law at the Albertville estate and as my birthday isn't for more than two weeks, we are a tree, tinsel and fairy free zone.

                Although if @GJABS fancies popping around for a chinwag I'll make a one off exception to the fairies rule.

                And no, that's not a euphemism.

                  We normally we wait for a few weeks.

                  But FIL decided he wanted to buy everyone a real tree and that he was going to do that yesterday - so we now have a tree up but not decorated....

                  have to do that sooner rather than later as otherwise the needles will dry out and drop off.

                  which reminds me I need to fill up the xmas try stand with water
