We decided this year that a real-life Christmas tree was necessary. So on Monday, I (Natalie) headed off to a local nursery for a tree. I found one that quite took my fancy. It was supposed to be 5ft, but on arrival back home we discovered that it was 6ft. No complaints though!
In the evening we fluffed the tree up and started decorating. Our new lights went up first, followed by our new German decorations. Then we used the more traditional baubles and tinsel to dress the tree up. We found our fabulous star in Munich, and it is now sitting proudly atop our tree.
In the photos that follow you can see close-ups of some of the decorations that we like best (from Munich), and in the background the baubles. The final photo shows the tree as it stands (except for the star- but that's in another photo).
We are both now getting very excited about a cold Christmas. The presents are starting to accumulate under the tree, and we have a couple of stockings up on the wall as well. It will be a fun time. We have yet to work out exactly what will be on the menu for Christmas day, but I am planning to do lots of baking before the day. We've also bought a few Christmas carol CDs recently (we forgot to bring them over!).
We hope you enjoy looking at our tree as much as we do!
