I have to confess that this year Christmas has crept up on me and I felt even less prepared for it than usual. However, today I wrapped the final packages to go in the post and found the perfect Christmas tree then realised that perhaps I am actually almost ready.
We have a very small house indeed and usually the tree has to be squeezed in to a corner by the patio door where a vast bird of paradise plant usually resides..and then I have to find a space for the plant which is very heavy so I can't do it without help..... This year I am pretty much on my own in the run up to Christmas - my son has gone to Finland for the weekend, my partner is not home until next weekend and Stacie is not much help when it comes to heavy lifting! So when I saw this little tree (four feet high) with very flat branches on one side, I had a bit of an epiphany - it could go on sideboard instead. It fits perfectly and has the added bonus that up there I don't have to worry about the dog knocking off any glass baubles - so this year I have thrown all my favourite ornaments on it!
Now, we need a goose......

Wow, despite all the stress and hassle you are far more ready than I am. I've not even thought about the Christmas tree... xoxo
