I was asked to show more of our Christmas tree by a fellow blogger. Here it is, a ‘silver birch’ which folds away all year, has little lights along each branch, is decorated with angels collected on all our trips abroad and a few treasures from my Mum’s collection and which is simple and easy. I did love the days when we had a big, real tree, one which we, all wrapped up in cosy clothes, chose from the farm. I loved the smell when it was indoors and filling it with countless baubles with the help of our four lovely little people. Those lovely little people are now all grown up with their own families and have arrived this afternoon ready for party time.
I love my Christmas slipper socks, warm and full of colour.
We are postponing the three generation birthday party to New Year’s Day instead of Eve, in the hope that the antibiotics I have been given today will have kicked in and I’ll be able to be the life and soul of the party!

that’s such a cool tree. I have a small white feather tree that folds up as well.

We do love it and I love all my angels that each have a memory attached. A feather tree sounds really pretty. 🙂

I love the slippers. I have two pair … of different design. I wear them all the time and sleep with them too. My daughter gave me both of mine and some lounging pajamas. I wear those all the time too. And a pair of knitted hand warmers. What a beautiful and different tree.

I love the idea of you all cosy in your slippers, hand warmers and lounging pjs. I think I need some lounging pjs. I’ve hardly got dressed over this last week, proper pjs to hang out in would have been perfect.
I do love my cosy slipper socks – and I love the simplicity of our tree and all the memories hanging on it. 🙂
