The tree that hides the...

... sitting room.
It's here! We have our tree. It's beautiful. It's a beauty. And it's full. Very full. 
Totally full of branches.

We are lucky.

We still have two slivers of sitting room  that we can still use, on two sides of the beautiful tree. 

(Are these the boys from the NYPD choir that I can hear singing Galway Bay?) 

Time to proceed with the next phase of Christmas: death by cheese, mince pies and hot port.
