On the third day of Christmas my true love gave to me ...... My Christmas Tree! 

Now I love Christmas, I think the fact that we have had a Christmas countdown on the Lilypad since October leads us to this conclusion and I am usually more excited than the children about putting the decorations up and feeling festive but this didnt happen on the 1st this year, as it our usual tradition.

I had done two Christmas Fayres and had a pain in my neck (not the children, I promise), which would make putting the star on the top of the tree a little difficult, so I have been a little grouchy for two days and not getting into the Christmas spirit at all. (and when I say spirit, I dont mean a cheeky Southern Comfort or too .... although that might have helped to numb the neck pain).

So creating an amazing Christmas Tree is kind of my thing. I like nice things, I love beautiful things and I adore sparkly things and my Christmas tree is full of all of them. I have spent a copious amount of money over the years on decorations (no french hens in sight) and I have got some absolute bargains too, so its a constant work in progress every year.

My worry this year is that my beautiful tiny toddler will try and climb my masterpiece, she will need more than three french hens to save her if she does ....
