Countdown…
Yes – it’s countdown to Christmas Day.
This is how it works for me.
In the past when my kids were young, it was decorated when they got home from school with Christmas music playing and the first fruit mince pies of the season to eat as we hung tinsel and baubles.
Now, I do it at whatever time of the day I want. Just me and Dog – he sniffs the decorations as they are unpacked and then looks on as I hang this and that. Finally we stand back, look at each other and … go for a walk…
My mother is our family matriarch. She is 87. Over the last three weeks, she has had three changes of mind about where we should have Christmas. Should it be up the coast by the sea or should it be in town?
Decorating of Christmas tree/branch/twig at House (House is tiny: 2 bedrooms, hence small decorating)
Sprayed twig with white enamel first and shoved it in white sand in an old metal bucket.
Found some Japanese glass fishing buoys which had to hang on tree with stars.
