I will try and get that done this weekend (hoping the tree is still in its 'finery' ) as I have to take some photos out that way anyway.

I will also take a photo of my Winter tree (will be an Easter tree at Easter!)

I'm still seeing lots of leftover Christmas stuff in shops. I'm still burning the Christmas candles and I had the very last slice of Stollen the other day.

Here is the Christmas tree on the roadside:




And a closeup:





And here is my all-season tree - it has snowflakes on it because I am still waiting for some snow!

Pictures please

I am thinking of upgrading my all-season tree. I was spring cleaning the kitchen on Friday and I put the tree on the ground and it kept falling over. It's a really long branch in a bottle so it's nearly 4 foot high. I would love something smaller and thicker, so if I don't come across anything like that, I may have to make something! Watch this space...

I also got a tiny fir tree in a Scandinavian holder that I got in Tesco at Christmas. I still have that on my shelf. I will post a pic of that soon.

KeeP enjoying those mince pies! I bought some Christmas packs of chocs to eat because I'll be giving them up next week! So stuffed myself this weekend! Yum!

I couldn't edit the last post because I'm writing this on a smartphone but I meant to say - keep eating those PUDDINGS! Also mince pies if you have them!

Welcome to the home of the Boards Christmas Die Hards!

I have some Santa heads that I bought in Penneys years ago-O/H thinks they are creepy so they don't get out of the attic too often.

As an aside, I thought I'd cheer y'all up with this little gem which I found this morning:

What a brilliant decoration idea! I must bear it in mind for THIS Christmas

My little shrine to Christmas!

Yeah, ZX7R welcome to the die hards forum!! It's so true how these Christmas things make people feel good.

Washiskin - I know those heads! My Mum has those too and I find them freaky too!! Ha! But I love that Christmas cake, especially the little train at the front - so cute.

I can't believe Eason's have their sign still up, flutegirl! That's great. Must be a Christmas lover in their ranks!

Yeterday it was so mild, I got the grass cut - looks like Summer when you look outside. But today it is so frosty, it's like Winter again.
