I LOVE real Christmas trees, you can't beat the smell, getting prickled with all the pine needles, looking through the whole freezing garden centre for 'the perfect tree' while they play "I wish it could be Christmas every day" over and over again on a loop and trying to free at least one offspring from the tree netting contraption, not so hilarious to climb inside now your hair's caught is it? :mad:
The car full of needles, attempting to strap said tree to the roof of the car with rope when your freezing fingers can barely feel the rope and then realising you've roped it up with the car doors open and now they won't shut so you've got to undo the whole thing again. :rolleyes:
then driving precariously back with the tree sliding around on the car roof and just hoping that you don't leave it halfway down the dual carriageway.
Freeing the enormous redwood from it's net because it's definitely grown 3 feet during the journey from the garden centre to home :whistle: and the branches now have the strange abilities of 'Audrey 2' and brush the walls on both sides of the living room.
The kids arguing over who gets to hang which bauble where, the cat chewing the tinsel and then barfing it all up in a sparkly, slimy fur ball for you to stand on with bare feet.
Not forgetting the depressing ritual of stripping the now needle-less brown kindling after the big event and dumping it behind the garage on top of the decaying skeletons of the previous 4 years trees.
Ahh, Christmas!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

...and how do the Christmas lights get so tangled in a box up in the loft space when you packed them up so carefully the Christmas before?
