This time next week it will all be over for another year.
I am much nearer being ready.....as you can see from my previous entry I have dragged the tree out from its resting place......sorted all the baubles and dressed the tree.....and I think I should be allowed to declare a miracle......the tree lights worked first time and they were not tangled! Other years I have had to go through all the bulbs to check which one had died.....don't you just hate that? and even though I swear I put away the lights neatly.....the tangle fairy gets in and musses them up..... but not today.
It did take me about 6 hours to do the tree..... that was mainly because about half way through the dressing, it over balanced and the whole shebang went onto the deck. I was a bit scared to look at what damage had been done....some of the tree decs are 40 years+ old and a bit delicate...... but, no breakages at all.....I just had to be careful where I put my size fives........anyway I just gathered everything together again and put it all back again.
I put the little cherry lights around the fireplace......I will decorate the mirror with Holly and stuff tomorrow.....I decorated the little fibre optic tree.....I think I may put that in the living room. So it has been quite a productive day. Yipeeeeeeeeeee!
