Deck the halls

In my book.... it's now officially time to put the tree up.
Old school me! 

Roughly 12 days before Christmas.


And down 12 days after.


Don't think I could handle them any earlier than this....would run out of enthusiasm for Christmas before I even got there! 

 As per usual, we went for a real tree. We  always go at the same time each year and there are always plenty to choose from. 
We were flabbergasted to discover that there were only 3 trees left at our two local suppliers!!


Only 3!!!!


Needless to say, it didn't take me long to chose one!!
