Christmas tree - photo a day

[lnr]

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.

Yay, tree! It looks lovely, and like a proper family tree should. Monochrome is for department store windows.

I approve of breaking baubles. I mean, not in specific cases - but so many are non-breakable these days that we never have to get replacements... trees shouldn't be in a steady state...

I see what you mean - though I'm sad to have broken the last glass robin - only bluetits and goldfinches remain. I try and buy at least one new ornament every year, it's a little tradition, but not usually quite so many at once. It's so nice to have a proper big tree though - an indulgence I don't usually allow myself when not spending Christmas at home.

I'm glad you like it :)
