Finally put our tree up

All looks very nice @renatew5😺🐶.

Your mantlepiece looks really classy and the snow like skirting too. My Tilly puss would really adore it, firstly the lovely glittering tassels on the mantelpiece and secondly the skirting for "kneading the dough". Having had a cat, you know what I mean @Janet 💋🍰🍝🍹 . I also noticed that we have bought some Christmases ago the same kind of trimmings (the little straw wreaths with the little silver bow and glitter. I still have two angels left from the set. One is topping Lidl's £5 mini tree and the other one somewhere on the garland. We have bought a small real tree pot grown, 3 years old but it was so puny and tender limbed that I would not use it. It would not have held even the lightest kind of bauble, let alone a string of lights. It is in the greenhouse and I will put it later outside and try and nurture it and see how it will grow, perhaps for next year. @harryflatters @Happygirl @Pinkaholic79 💖🦄🌺 @roz

My usual tree with Lidl's £5 mini and topped with the straw angel

My cat proof real pine garland with the little straw angel and little straw wreaths

And lastly the little puny tree. It is a Nordman fir pot-grown, so with care, it will carry on growing.

That all looks lovely @Janet 💋🍰🍝🍹 - it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Lovely @Janet 💋🍰🍝🍹 , where are the two naughty Elves?

Oohhh @Janet 💋🍰🍝🍹 I'm loving your decorated fireplace, shame I put my spare snow blanket back in the loft. Is that tinsel or something else surrounding the mantelpiece? Can't quite figure it out, but I like it.

So lovely @Janet 💋🍰🍝🍹 Still in humbug mode here for a few more days...
