Xmas trees

First winter lurgi has hit. Thanks to a really heavy November my immune system just let go and it's welcome all bugs season. Well, on the way to the shop to get some tissues, I stopped to look at the Christmas tree stall just outside the entrance. I'm not getting a real three - it is in my view more environmentally friendly to use a single plastic tree for 50 years than kill a tree once a year. Not as sweet smelling or authentic but looks right. My old faithful will go up for the fifth year and is so covered in decorations there's hardly a bough left free. We have a habit of getting two special baubles every Christmas instead of using dime-a-dozen glitters. That's our little Christmas tradition.
