...decorating the Christmas tree

Ok, I know it's so early that even the Haskins guy was giving us tips on how to keep its pine needles until Christmas, but we couldn't resist getting our tree.

We are spending the weekend with friends in London, so wouldn't have time to get a tree until next Sunday, which is far too late...

After a brief upset due to artistic differences regarding how to drape or spiral the tinsel (!?) we took the tinsel off and the tree was done. 

The best part was adding the Christmas bauble decorations that I had received as wedding favours from my twin's wedding last year. Lovely idea to evoke happy memories each Christmas.
