I try not to think too much about Christmas until after my birthday, near the end of November. With Advent starting on 3rd Dec this year there's quite a breathing space. (Advent can begin any day between 27th November and 3rd December.)
I had just said 'how about aiming to put up the tree on the weekend of 10th December' when there was a knock at the door, and a long thin parcel was delivered
I have had one of these before, several years ago; a living Christmas tree, all carefully squashed flat to fit through the letterbox! It came complete with a pot, lights, garlands and decorations including a star.
It's only about 18" tall, but absolutely delightful. The last one has survived a number of years in a pot outside. In a few weeks I will ask Himself to shift it to the front of the house and put some decorations on it.
So, it's not even Advent, and we have a Christmas tree!
And its a pretty one too, we've bought a biggish one which is in a bucket of water outside for a week or two, we like to do it second week of Dec. I saw you did a virtual walk, I wanted to do one, which firm did you use, would you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteThe virtual walks I go on are from www.theconquerer.events. I've enjoyed most of them; the Dutch bulbfields were a bit of a disappointment as the gogglestreetmap views were at the wrong time of year for tulips! Although there were pictures of tulips in the Postcards which arrive along the way. Yosemite was good, as was Hadrians wall, and the casino di Santiago is looking good too. They are quite expensive, but worth it to keep me moving.
