Our Christmas Tree for 2008

It's a bit of a family tradition, as it is for most people. Dad and I always go and buy the tree, a real tree, with Mam's voice echoing from the house saying "get a small one this year" and we normally come back with the standard 6 foot one. But this year we where good and got a 5 foot one. It was a good team effort this year. I put on the woodern toys, Mam put on the German glass balls and Dad put the lights on.
I know it look a wee bit present-less but that's because we are going down to my brothers for Christmas, so the gifts are all wrapped and packed away in another room.
I've been to my first Christmas carol service already and off to another one this weekend, and also have my first Christmas meal this weekend. The weather hasn't got above about 5oC since returning from New Zealand.
