Christmas tree - photo a day

Our tree arrived today! Having bought a real one for the first time in many years it was time to buy some more decorations, particularly as my existing ones were all pale purple and silver. I much prefer a multicoloured tree, but it seems monochrome is very in, so to get red, blue and gold I had to buy three packs of baubles! 33 bits of thread later they now all have strings, and many of them are now on the tree. Only two broken in the process - oops! Matthew was fascinated watching us start the decorating (which may not have helped Mike get him to sleep). Overall I'm pretty happy with it, and it smells lovely.
