Spotted one on the John Lewis website for £180, have had a look round the shops in cloggers and haven't seen anything that isn't cheap tacky, and wouldn't last 5 mins with the NorPusses. The Cloogies do like their "goedkoope" aka cheap tat.

I have a small metal one and thats it but we go to the inlaws who put one up on Christmas Eve (actually the day you give presents here.) A German invention (more like tradition actually) along with the giving of presents at Christmas...

In Soviet family we can have the decs up till March or summert, but as I am the archetypal Scrooge I've usually done an Arthur Fowler by New Year (Noviy God)...
Did you know Russian for God is 'Bog' - no wonder they went all aetheist...

Soooooo, maybe when the birthday paraphenalia is down, I'll convice himself to get the decorations out. We've a plastic tree which I think is grand and he hates. I suspect this year, I'll spend most of my time trying to stop Jr from either pulling it down or trying to eat it. Fun times eh?
