Christmas is coming 1

It's been decided on higher authority than mine that today's the day the Christmas decorations go up! I don't have the patience for it all, the furniture shifting and left a bit, right a bit hassle to make sure everything is even etc. I love the look of the house when its all done and it really means Christmas is coming. How long the tree will stay up could be interesting, our youngest has started climbing and might just see the tree as his next Everest! In past years i have been able to escape using work as excuse, but this year I can't so I'm going to retreat to the kitchen and bake mince pies and the Christmas cake.
