tree up

This afternoon the tree was hauled in from it's resting place in the garden and decorations were thrown upon it.  We bough the tree as a small Norfolk pine cluster of three when we were first married, and have re-potted it gradually over the years until it became a manageable size - and I have not given it a new pot for about seven years.  It keeps losing branches from the lower section, and this year we have about four upper layers to put our decorations on.  We had to spray it for spiders and clip off the brown bits, but it keeps coming good for us each year. Maybe one day I will plant it in the garden and it can grow into the twenty metre monster it is meant to be, but for now it is a perpetual Christmas tree that can enjoy the month inside dressed up like a toddler that has got into the costumes.

Presents will be wrapped soon and placed under it.  Excitement is building.
