Christmas Decorations etc
Dave and the boys put the tree and decorations up last night.
Now although this is an artificial tree it is the one I bought 17 years ago for mine and Dave's first Christmas together.
The most of the tree decorations are little wooden figures etc which I bought from a Fairtrade Catalogue 8 years ago when we had our first Christmas in this house and some of the other decorations are ones that we had when I was a child.
We do have the tinsel draped around the light fittings and stair banisters etc, but that is the one thing the boys really like to do.
I also have a few Santa ornaments which were made by local pottery artists and I have bought at craft fairs over the years.
When we take everything down this year I am going to look at it all and see what we have used and what I know we haven't used for a few years. The excess will be donated to a women's shelter in town I think.

I love decorating the tree. The girls would have it up weeks before Christmas. I would prefer to leave it until Christmas Eve. So we reach a compromise. Our decorations are individually wrapped in tissues and stored in a cardboard box. It's so exciting unwrapping them and hanging them on the branches. Some of them date back to when my teenage daughters were toddlers and I can remember where and when I bought each one of them. I allow myself one new decoration a year. This year's addition is a brightly painted papier mache elephant I bought at the Bath Christmas Market.
