Finally...

....we have our tree up. I had ordered it from the Bethany trust ages ago, to be picked up on 18th. I think we're the last people in Edinburgh to have put our tree up but I like to put it up really close to christmas.

I took the photos whilst the other two did the decorating. This was hard for me as I am a control freak and I've collected the decorations over several years and I know where each one should go. Some are more important than others and deserve a more prominent positioning than others, something this pair weren't aware of, or if they were didn't care. I'll just sneak down early in the morning and do a bit of adjusting.
