They may...

...have an age range of 12 - 19 now but they still like the tree up on the 1st.

I did not have much energy for this this evening but did help.

The place is however now like a bomb site as all the other wee bits and bobs we dot about the house have not been dotted about. Work for another day.

Grateful for their assistance and urging to get the tree up...despite my lack of energy I too like the tree up on the 1st.
