Xmas Decorations Up And Running
Got in the earliest we have ever put up Xmas decorations today but still days and weeks behind quite a lot of neighbours.
Seems we are becoming more Americanised because they certainly hit the ground running with Christmas decorations especially externally.
Only had to walk 10 minutes in order to cut the top threequarters of a young pine tree which was growing like a weed. And as quickly as you can say "Santa Claus In A Sleigh Pulled By Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", we had the tree covered with new fancy multiple coloured lights that have nine differing patterns/functions.
Going to a party where part of the gift exchange is Xmas decorations and so we chose two tree items that are largely green coloured and always wondered the interest factor with green on green.
