It went up today.....

.....the Christmas Tree that is.  And because I've been busy busy it seemed sensible and easy to blip part of it.  I've so many treasures that have been collected over the years, many from distant lands, probably the two most treasured (not blipped today) are two baubles I bought when travelling in Syria.  I shudder to think what Christmas will be like for so many Syrians.

Gardening, lawns and edges this afternoon.  
Bought the ham ($75 gulp) and ordered a butterflied lamb (done on the bbq) for Christmas dinner.  I've pretty much organised the menu, just the shopping to get done now.

Finished my Christmas shopping this morning and will be posted to our family in Wanaka on Monday.
