So this year I purchased a new Christmas tree
Opened it this evening to get the decorating started 
Only to discover, my new tree is to be put together branch by branch 
So,, I did what every tired and fed up mother does at that stage
I sat back with a cuppa and directed my 2 teenage sons on assembly of the tree 
It's finally up now for the foreseeable and I have to say it looks stunning
Is everyone happy with how your tree has turned out this year?
Or have you even got yours up yet?

"Fair play to you!
I stopped putting up any kind of Christmas decorations 7 years ago "
I've the tree and a couple of Merry Christmas signs and that's it
I used to go to the lengths of decs hanging from the ceilings, tinsel over the pictures
But I couldn't be arsed anymore |

Doing it this weekend. 12ft of the most realistic fake tree I've ever seen. Cost £200 but we've had it at least 5yrs, so it's definitely paid for itself at this stage.
I'm still dreading the thoughts of the 800 lights though |
