When do you get ready for Christmas? I find the older I get the longer it takes and the harder it is to get to those higher places. Proof was in the pudding when I fell on my bum off the first step of the step ladder. Ouch!! I realised the next time it’s our turn for Christmas (2 years time) our granddaughter will be 13 so I wanted to make this Christmas extra special. We have the next 2 weekends out of town so this week was the time. I don’t use a real tree as it’s just too hot for them to last the distance. This year I’m going with a new theme.. gingerbread men/ people and houses. I thought after the same thing for the past 10 years it was time for a change. Now the decorating is done the cooking is next.

Looks good enough to eat!
I have been slowly putting a few things out but the tree goes up this weekend.
Beautiful decorations, but far too early for me. Son Joe and his wife Lee have birthdays on 9th and 10th December. All those years ago it was not Christmas until this %^&* baby is born. I never put up decorations before his birthday since. And I'm not allowed to take them down until Tony's birthday on 5th January. LOL
That looks lovely - especially the picture with the fire!! (gave me a chuckle after a typical hot & humid day today) I need my decorations up by Saturday...hopefully J will do any ladder work!
Beautiful decorating Jenny.
Merry Christmas....... Have a great one......
