My Christmas Tree

[droverjess]

Gosh you are all quick off the mark.
We're not bothering with tree etc this year, I will do all that at work, already clearing up glitter,  LOL?
DH and I having very quiet Xmas. If bad weather DD will probably get here to join us but not all the way up north.

Next year will be better, hope we will be settled by then, that is my Christmas wish.

Gee I haven't even thought about the Christmas tree yet. Wouldn't mind buying a new smaller one to decorate.

Looks lovely Michele;D

DJ will certainly be hoping you get your Christmas wish xxx

Ours will be going up on the 1st. Our DD normally does most of the tree decoration but she will still be in Cambodia so it will be a bit strange doing it all without her.

DJ hoping for a better 2013 for you. I would be inclined to still put up some decorations or a small tree if you are able to as it will at least lighten the mood in the house a little - just my thoughts. We are having family issues this year so we might be spending it just with the 4 of us for the first time ever, but we will still decorate the same as always as I think we should make just as much effort to keep the spirit alive even if those around us aren't feeling the same.

Must be exciting though. How are you kids coping with the big move now Frozzie?

[Frozzie]

They are ok.. Still feels like a holiday to them.. Ds has a day or two down days but dd is fine.. Think she is loving being home all the time as she was in second year of schooling in europe.. Think we will see more once we have our own place and they have their own rooms again a d space etc

Yeh nothing better than having your own house. Hope you don't have to wait too long.
My sister and her DH have just brought their very first home after renting for quiet a few years. They are so excited and have heaps of plans to do lots of improvements.
Nothing better than owning your own home and doing what ever you please with it

[Frozzie]

Seems to be coming together but dont want to jimx anything!!  however We will need to rent short term due to aussie bank regulations for mortgages (3 to 6 mths) ... complicated..but yes agree so different when you,own your own home.. I always hated renting... Loved our place in france..will love our mch bigger place in oz once we get organised !!! Much more bang for your buck out here lol

[Delightful Den]

We won't put our tree up until the weekend of the 7/8 Dec. That is early for us but we are away the next weekend.
