Rather short and limp and tired looking, barely lights up. Tried to insert a fairy but no luck there either.

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

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.

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.

You are Himmler and I claim my 5 Deutschmark.

Mines up and it's a whooper. Anyone else erected theirs yet?

aren't you worried its gone green?




Yep tree up this morning, more decorations tonight with wine.

Don't bother. I do stick some lights around the front room though.

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

[GJABS]

You don't get to claim all the fairy activities you know

No, but I get to claim all of the fairies (I am a slapper lol)

[ladymuck]

I thought that was my job

Bah.

Humbug.

I switch on the minefield on the roof to see if I can get that Santa fella and have some nice reindeer steaks for Xmas lunch.

No, it was on the plan but I spent the day trying to fix my washing machine instead. It's fixed now but I've no idea why because all I did take the things to bits and put it back together after finding no obvious faulty parts.

The only new decoration I've got this year is one of those indoor projectors that projects onto your window. I bought it for for Halloween (zombies clawing at blinds with groaning sound effects). The projector also has a Christmas mode of Santa waving, laughing and jiggling his belly about.

Got an advent calendar with 24 windows. I am going to knock one out every day.

Will this be at home, in the morning, or is it on your desk at work?
