  • I won't be putting any decorations up this year .... :cry:

    I will be in the good ole US of A instead... :j

    I am getting married in Tennessee and will be seeing all the billions of lights that they put up, plus my mum's tree (lives in Kentucky) has been up since Thanksgiving... so she's all ready for the family!!!

    Normally do it the first weekend of December but parentals are off on their excursion so probably Monday if they get back at a decent hour, otherwise next weekend
