Christmas is coming..... 
A couple were Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve and the whole place was heaving, packed with other last minute shoppers. Walking through the shopping centre the surprised wife looked up from a window display and noticed her husband was nowhere to be seen. She knew they had lots still to do and she became very upset. She rummaged in her handbag and found her mobile phoned then used it to call her husband to ask him where he was. The husband in a calm voice replied: "Darling, you remember the jewellery shop we went into five years ago, where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that one day I would get it for you...?" His wife's eyes filled with tears of emotion, she began to cry softly and stifling a sob she whispered:"Yes, I remember that jewellery shop..." "Well," he said, "I'm in the pub next to it!"

tree's up

*collapses in heap*

I've finally let go of my Christmas tree and handed it to the kids It's no longer 'MINE!!' And here the result, it's actually not that bad

awww I think it's lovely 

The tree has arrived, hubby had to cut a foot off the top and bottom to get it into the house!!

Just about to get the decorations out of the loft.  I may be some time ...

Thanx Pengy, the baubles have been on and off 3 times today as the little one likes playing foot ball lol

my granddaughter has realised there are chocolates on the tree.........!

buh bye choccies, hello hyper sugary little girl

So the house is decorated, the tree is up and the lights are on it.

I'll do the rest in the morning

All sounding/looking lovely - still not doing mine until Friday though - I'll pick the boys up from school and we'll do it then

Awwww lovely - i'm getting one

My tree looks really tiny  It is too small though, I want a big big fat one!

Aww that looks pretty Ells, love your fire place too.

You've reminded me looking at the stockings, i should probably take a pic of ours. Mil made us all one 2 years ago and they are cute with jingle bells on them.

Oh we had home made stockings last year aswell....I wonder why they weren't in with all the decorations 

I ordered Mr Woo one of those horrid foot scrubby things from JML (he thinks they're wonderful) - two have arrived today - looks like my son will be getting one too.

what kind of chocolates machel? Love the tree jen, did you get yourself a smaller one?
