that the Christmas tree is never purchased until after Strident Student and I have had our birthdays. Those events now out of the way, a trip to the Xmas tree farm was called for. Each year without fail each there is a heated debate about the relative merits of the various types of fir &/or shapes before the perfect one is finally selected. This year's specimen is beautiful but having lugged it to the car we discovered it was just that little bit too long :o/ ...so we drove home in -4ยบ with the boot half open!!
A long story involving a hacksaw later, we've now managed to get it into a stand, aligned vertically, raided the loft for various boxes of gubbins and decked the halls, plus an 8ft Nordic fir.
Finally finished the Xmas shopping, turkey's ordered, cards written, parcels posted.....now all remains is to pick up eldest, finish work...then collapse in a heap with a glass of mulled wine...or two...
