All so beautiful and so unnique! My daughter and I have been pouring over the pics this morning (again!) today is they day that we are decorating the house (can I get a whoop, whoop!!) we have mince pies and hot chocolate (coffee for me ?) at the ready! Will post our pics when we're done! ????
I must admit, since getting the tree up I've felt much more Christmassy, which is helping me to get on with everything else that needs doing. I was in denial before, I think.
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
We always used to decorate the tree on the 13th, today, as it was first OH's (died) birthday. If it was a working and school day I'd set it up with the lights and when OH came home we'd put the baubles on it. Now we do it a few days later, 2nd OH and me.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Flashing lights... I think they divide the nation!
Thank you Aunty Rach! Also finishing off today...we've turned the garage into a make-shift dining room as we have visitors for the festivities (we currently have nowhere other than our laps to eat our Christmas lunch!) so we have that to decorate today... Picked loads of holly, ivy and yew yesterday so will be using that - going for a Tudor feel in there!)... Feels like an enormous task this morning! One more coffee should spur one into action...

Gorgeous trees everyone. Mine is still in the garage. Will send a pic when I've done it.
A few people have mentioned another decorations thread. This could be it, if anyone wants a look. http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/the-potting-shed/christmas-decorations/990428.html

??? LG!
All done! Now let the festivities begin!
Owl-ya-need is Christmas ? ????
Love your tree Missy K.
My OH just discovered the 'flashing lights' mode on the fairy lights - not very relaxing!
Will be picking some Holly tomorrow to finish my other decorations.

That is a fab idea re garage-diner! Love a make-shift gathering complete with 'emergency chairs'!
A bit of greenery always pimps-up the festive feel.
Hubby's just bought 3 more dec's
