To what well to Christmas yes CHRISTMAS sorry get carrued away. I wnt out for the first time in five days yesterday, to look at decorations. It is something I sorley miss not having y shop any more. We always stocked glorious different decs and my windows were brilliant (even if I say so myself) When you buy to retail you buy Christmas in Jauary at he enourmous wholesale fair in Harrogate. Then you wait till July for it all to arrive. o you get three bites of the cherry so to speak. So did I manage to just look yesterday (shakes head) Two blue lit trees about 2ft tall fell into my trolly. well they were reduced to half price and can go in doors or out! Okay they are up and twinkling away in my kitchen window. large smiley face

I send you all happy hearts and gentle hugs ((((()))) xgins

My tree is already up which is REALLY unusual for me as my decoration normally go up on the weekend before Christmas, but thanks to having a stupid and hyperactive indoor cat who likes to climb things, I now have a tree which is only about one foot tall which I cat put on a cat-safe shelf. The first year I had the tree it looked sadly bare and was excited to find some miniature tinsel to decorate it with in the second year. In the last few weeks I've found some miniature baubles and a little angel, so I had to get the tree out and make sure they looked OK didn't I?

Mine go up the 30th November, something we have always done since the kids were little. All I do is put the lights on the tree, hubby and daughter do the rest. But I am excited too xxxxxx
