Miniest pestered me until I got the Xmas trees set up, and it looks pretty good. One is a cheapy they used at the local supermarket and sold to me for ten bucks when the place was closing down about 10 years ago. Mr P found one on the hard rubbish last year, neatly packed in its box and complete with decorations and lights. We put it together and it's one of those very shmick looking expensive ones. So we have 2 trees, which feels a little odd. My MIL insisted I take a picture and send it to a relative of hers who routinely sets up and decorates 6 trees in one room of her house, like we're competing or something lol.

Yep. Was sent photos one year. It looked quite lovely really, and they've got the house for it. I couldn't be bothered dismantling it all and apparently neither could they.. it stays like that until around August my MIL tells me.

I’m exhausted after one tree.
