Our little Christmas Tree

Our little Christmas Tree is up! I managed to find us a bargain 5ft Christmas tree for $19 so we had a random evening of buying decorations and making our flat look festive. We went for a red and gold theme so all decorations in the flat fit in with that! The Christmas tree itself looked a little sparse so we had to get some tinsel to bulk it out a bit, despite my hatred for the stuff. We also threaded some baubles onto ribbon and have hung them above the sprinklers in our kitchen - probably a massive fire hazard but all for a good cause (that is, making the flat look festive). We even bought little candy canes for the tree, although I found out yesterday that the pig (Dave) came in drunk on Friday night and ate one of them, so now we only have 11 and hence can't count down the 12 days of Christmas. Typical. I downloaded a CD of carols sung by the Kings College, Cambridge Choir too to get us even more in the festive mood! It's just the sun and heat we have to sort out now..and the lack of mulled wine and mince pies.
