Oh Christmas tree...

Well it's finally up and we had a great time with my neighbour and her daughter to help!  I haven't yet made the ginger biscuits that usually decorate it nor have I any little parcels!  Some of the lights are red so I'm getting a red caste which is very difficult to get rid of without getting rid of so much that I need to keep!  I can't do any better as I'm literally falling asleep at the computer!!  Friends for lunch tomorrow - they are vegetarian so leek and carrot pie! And I'm going to try some rather pretty sprouts that look like flowers!
