I'll show you mine if you show me yours....

All these lovely trees, but why can`t there be another listing to port like mine? I don`t like being exclusive!

Number - its probably because the pictures are all taken on the slant. and anyway all are equally unique and beautiful.

If I have a tree, it is always a real, rather than artificial one. Last year, we miscalculated and ended up with something rather taller than we had planned; it was quite hard to find a place to put it. This year we shall not be having a tree, partly because of additions in the main room of the house, such as a high chair, bouncer chair and play mat that take up quite a lot of room (and there is nowhere to store them), plus a rocking chair that I am trying to find time to strip and wax for absentdaughter. We are not planning any social occasions chez nous so it would probably be a bit silly to have a tree. In addition and most importantly, we have been hand-rearing an abandoned kitten and that is probably one step too far for a Christmas tree.
