Christmas at home part one.

Last night I went home ( as in my mum and dad's) to decorate the Xmas tree. My mum also gets a real one, we go down and pick it up, Dad always gets in a bad mood, it's a bit of an annual event. It always seems like a bit of a deal, but then when it's up and decorated it's always worth it and the smell is amazing.

My mum has such beautiful ornaments,that have been around since I can remember, collected from all over - Cambridge MA, Geelong Vic, France etc.
I have my favourites that I must put up, sheep ( sheepy), the reindeer and the little knitted stocking are some.

Except the angel which I made, about 7 years ago I think.
It's so much fun and such a simple and innocent past time, it's always been like a kid again.
The pictures probably don't quite do it justice but it really looks beautiful.
