Countdown to Christmas #7

Miracle on 34th Street on, warm mince pies, mulled wine and I'm doing another Christmas fave...

I LOVE decorating the tree!

Our neighbours have all had theirs up since the start of the month, but my parents have always said it should go up 12 days before, not sure why!? But I've stuck with that rule, well because parents are always right (except that time they told me about a little round man in a red coat that comes down the chimney to leave presents for children on Christmas Eve...I forget his name ;)!)

I am a little late this year, had a bit of a drama finding where we had put the tree and decorations, ooops!!

I always went with my sister to choose a tree when we were younger which was great fun but we don't have a lot of space so it's just a little artificial tree but I think they are great too (no pine needle jabs and much less vacuuming).
I'm not one for decorating outside the house or garden just my little tree, a few festive pieces and some Christmas candles.

Isn't it beautiful when you can see twinkling trees in all the house windows,
I also love to see the town and shops all decorated it just seems so magical!

When do you put your tree up?
Are you like me and wish it could stay up all year round?

Keep Smiling :D

10 sleeps to go :)
