One of the things we did last week was to put up and decorate the Christmas tree. I have lots of decorations going back years. I used to buy something new each year. This year I decided to go minimalist and just used the lovely pewter ornaments my cousin sends each year. They come from Nova Scotia.
I am so pleased with it I have decided to go through my Christmas decorations and donate a lot to a charity shop. A few special ones may still be added to the tree.
It always amazes me how seasons change so quickly. With the beginning of December we suddenly have summer.
While 28 degrees Celsius is not hot in a lot of places it is plenty hot enough for me.
That is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo much now is plastic and garish
They are beautiful ornaments and each one comes with a story.
DeleteLove the Christmas tree. It's only a few weeks ago now. Time for celebration
ReplyDeleteTime is whizzing by far too fast for me.
DeleteOur tree is still under the stairs. I'm afraid it's a pathetic excuse for a tree, so I may even try to buy a real one this year. I always feel embarrassed about the other one.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago Max and I always had a real one in a bucket of water to keep it alive. One year it fell over with water everywhere. We then bought an imitation one. When we moved down here it was starting to lose it's needles and, by chance, I came across this one in a garage sale.
