a hint of Christmas

The main tree in the living room. It started life looking a touch wonky! But luckily I had my Little Elf to help straighten it out.

I've added a hint of ballet magic, with the addition of two pairs of pointe shoes. Reminds me of 'The Nutcracker'. The snow that covered us last week has gone. But the house still looks festive. The photo was taken from the inside of the garage, the froth of lights close to the lens on the left is from the wreath on the garage door. Homemade trees are in place, in the dining room, bedroom, and on the mantelpiece.

The husband has the ivory tree in his den, decorated with pink baubles, and topped by Hello Kitty again! pastel candy canes in a jar, as well as on the tree. And on the garden gate, an organza bow and jingle bells. Every time the gate is shut the bells jingle, and no doubt an Angel gets its wings!
