I love that, Squirrel!

And Olive, that looks pleasingly like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

[Squirrel]

Lovely!

I’ve decided that when I’m rich I will pay one of those people who comes round and does all the decorations then comes and takes them all down again afterwards.

Did you see that programme about Chatsworth the other night? They employ a Director of Christmas who plans all year round then gets her staff to do the donkey work in November :spin:

S called me down to one to watch that saying he’d found my ideal job!

[Rhodonite]

Director of Christmas sounds like an excellent job!

I really love all the trees and the history behind some of decorations.

[Squirrel]

Thanks Morgs, I’m watching it right now while emptying the dishwasher/folding laundry. Maybe I can pick up some decorating tips .

[indigo]

Love that, Squirrel!

We went and picked a tree today at my parents in the sleet and the kids decorated.

I would definitely apply for a job as Director of Christmas! The Countess of thingamabob who lives in Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) was on the radio the other day and talking about how decorating the castle for Christmas is a year-round undertaking.

Each kid helped saw it down.

...and yours, rosy. Are your lights red?

The tree is white and the lights are red. And so far all the decs are red or gold or glass :theme: If I can get to see Tommy before Christmas I'll let him loose with all the rest of the decs.

N and I went to one of those garden centres that sell few plants but lots of tat at the weekend; so many different colours and ideas on which to base themes! I could have spent a fortune and had a different decoration scheme every year for the next 20 years easily.

[rosy]

That looks so much fun, Jet!

A parent of a child in my class is a Director of Christmas (no idea if this is her real title but she has a Christmas decorating business). She does it for footballers and probably for restaurants and stuff. What a job!

[indigo]

My and J's first tree. I can't stop smiling at it.

[Mayday]

That is so pretty

I picked up this in my town earlier. There were lots just dotted around. Its so cute. The picture doesn't show but it is a bit glittery. (it does say on the back to take it, I didn't nick it )

[Rhodonite]

That's lovely!

[Rosa]

Here's a terrible, blurry photo of my tree, with a bonus reflection of Home for Christmas in the window.

[bramblerose]

I love all the trees

[Marth]

I love all the trees

Me too, and the little angels.

[Squirrel]

They are all lovely
