Crazy Leg Syndrome

I had an ridiculously special moment this evening.  The official start to Christmas for our brand new family.


It brought a tear to my eye when the little lady put the angel on our tree!  It's a family tradition that I'm sure many of you follow, the youngest member always finishes the tree with whatever topper that family uses.

This year I may have realised another dream I wasn't expecting...  I love the notion of decorating a home in such a way one could be forgiven for thinking Father Christmas overdosed on the tinsel cake and vommed all over the place.  Sadly, I prefer the idea to the reality and am usually drawn to a perfect coordination of red, gold and cream.  This year I finally kicked the habit.  The tree is a beautiful mess of colour and the kitchen?  Well, only a photo could explain, so here is a taster:


Admittedly the sitting room is truly tasteful... but there is tinsel in the bathroom so I think I still win!

I hope Christmas warms to the cockles of your heart and blows the misery of the 'R' word aside for one perfect, glittering month.
