Clench your buttocks!

The Girlie and I went to Redon today to buy our Christmas tree.

We decided to get a small one and then also make some Christmas tree sort of thingies out of Holly that we can gather locally.

I’m not too sure if this is to save money; I have a horrible feeling that the Girlie watched all too much Blue Peter when she was a little… well, Girlie!

This is the tree we decided on, it’ll be unwrapped and installed in the living room and then, tonight, the Girlie and Josh can decorate it.

I’m not getting involved. I know that my job will come every morning until festivities are over – putting the bloody thing back up after the cats have spent the night playing Tarzan and Jane, climbing all over it!

Still, I expect it’ll look pretty enough when it is decorated – it’ll just need a pretty little angel to sit on the top.

“Girlie, where are you – got a job for you! Might be an idea to clench your buttocks first!”

All the best

The Girlie finds another present for Josh	It’s a bum-bag or, as he would call it – a Fanny Bag	Josh’s fifth present is a car – a red one!	Finally, another present for Katie!
What a mess!	Josh’s 487th present is some lego	2000 euros on the credit card and half a rain forest later….	The Girlie wondering where her presents are!
The Girlie diving in to take a closer look	Josh’s final present is some more lego	I think he likes it	It certainly shut him up!

Christmas decorations

The Christmas tree went up today. I know that last year I said “Never Again!”, but it really wouldn’t be Christmas without a tree, would it?
