My house was looking a bit bare coming into November so when David came to visit we took a break from work and put up the Christmas lights. They decorate early and with as many lights as possible. They don't usually use lights alone, although I did they normally put up fake greenage and wrap the lights in them.
The Christmas tree was a new experience as they do not use tinsel but rather use ribbon to wrap the tree. THey also use dried flowers and butterflies.
It was a nice family moment decorating the tree ...just me and Madison but nice for us to have a tree to put all those pressies under. You can't really buy gift tags or wrapping paper separately as most shops gift wrap if you can take the queues. I made gifttags with potato prints my neighbours thought me sooo very creative.
I couldn't find a star or an angel for the top of the tree anywhere so we have nothing there yet. Maybe next year.
