Today we bought our Christmas tree and I decorated the tree and the sitting room and dining room. We are doing an afternoon tea for a wedding for a hundred next Friday and so we will be washing up the vintage crockery on Christmas Eve. This was booked in the spring and it gives us some income to tide us over the Christmas holiday period when we are not earning.
This means that I felt that I must get myself organised this weekend. We thought this afternoon would be less busy than tomorrow and I had a voucher through the post for twenty percent off Christmas trees from our local garden centre. We felt our tree was a bargain. It cost less than last years and is one that the needles don’t drop whereas last year half the needles had dropped by Christmas day.
Our Christmas tree
I set about decorating the tree while my husband went out to do some Christmas shopping.
The Christmas is decorated
All the decorating is done plus all my Christmas shopping so I am feeling quite pleased. Apart from food shopping I am ready now. I always think I won’t be ready but somehow it all comes together in time every year.
