Christmas time!

We put up the tinsel and decorated the tree last Friday.  One day early but I needed some help with the tinsel while Lance had a day off.  Easier with two people lol.  I should have had the camera out though because Tess was more into playing with the pile of tinsel on the floor than the cat was.  In fact Merlin didn't even make an appearance during proceedings.  Choosing to, thankfully, sleep through the whole production. 





 
The tree all decorated.

 
Christmas elves that are just so cute!  These were made by my mum years ago from either handmade or homespun magazine.

 
The beautiful old porcelain nativity set.  The table topper was also made by mum.

 
Ruby Reindeer.  Again made by mum.

 
Vintage glass baubles.  These are way too delicate to risk putting on the tree so they sit in my crystal bowl on the coffee table.

I love your mum's table runner! I am making her placemats now, by the way. Hopefully I will finish them in reasonable time!

Great tree. The nativity set is especially beautiful. Would love one of those. I love decorating the tree - it's like 'this is your life'. Ours will be late this year beause of building work,
