Christmas has arrived.
I'll admit I was sceptical when the husband dragged this in. A 6ft beast of a tree. But he knew what he was doing, a few snips here and there and it was up. Having a real tree was something I never had growing up, we always had one of those fake tinsel trees, but hubs is a real tree man, so ever since we've been together its been a real one.
This years tree decorating was pretty quiet, the boys, now in their 20's really dont want to get involved, but humoured their mum by hanging a few baubles and then went back to doing their own thing. Not wanting to give up this moment of Christmas Joy I made hubs watch The Christmas Chronicles 2 movie with me ! We may be in our 50's but you cant beat a Christmas movie....
A lovely evening was had and the Christmas cheer that was missing on Friday night was certainly present last night, I may actually be getting a little Christmas excitement building !
We no longer have a tree as it would be decimated in no time with 5 cats. Polly especially would be up at the top, although she's the oldest she's the most playful.
ReplyDeleteWhen all the kids were at home I loved my real Christmas tree. Yours looks beautiful.
Cherish those boys while they are still with you. I miss my lot even though they've been gone for years.

I can imagine, we had cats before we had the boys...now we are a dog family, and he doesn't bother it. And yes I'm thankful my boys are still here, making memories even during lockdowns..
