There's a gum tree out the front that should burst into bloom in the next couple of weeks. Along will come the rainbow lorikeets, and the Christmas beetles (ooh, shiny!), and the cockatoos and the possums can take turns at being the angel on top, depending on whether it's day or night. There's the various decorations taken care of, and I won't have to vacuum up the pine needles.

yep, tree went up today. The decorations are placed neatly under it 😄 

OH lost the christmas spirit part way through

Erica, What a lovely looking tree..is that Snoopy I can see?

Big love for Snoopy..

ecar that christmas tree, will be the best christmas tree ever. you couldn't get one any better than that.

Ours will go up on Fri, have to go and cut it first

I don't celebrate Christmas, but it's a local custom and I'm happy to join in the fun.

Yes, I've got a "Christmas tree", it's just that it's not a import from Old World Europe.

sounds like the perfect xmas tree, ecar,

It gives me everything I want from a Christmas tree, and come January I wont have to drag it down to the kerb to have it taken away.

Best of all, I didn't have to ask the tree if it was the one that wanted to be the Christmas tree, it answered the question for me.
