I put a star on mine.
Anyone know where I can buy a gold or silver harp?
Death Star from Star Wars!
Star.
What happened to 12 days before and twelve days after?
It’s morphed into “end of November to New year”

Booo. I love Christmas. Seeing the look on my babies face on Christmas morning is the highlight of my year. I reckon I’ve got this year and next year before she realises and after that it will never be the same again. Taking her to see Santa in princes street gardens, followed by a few goes on the terrifying rids on Christmas Eve has become a family tradition. We then go and see the panto at the brunton theatre and come home and sprinkle the glitter on the path outside our house. We then leave the mince pies, carrots and a generous nip of whisky (which I consume in order to maintain the pretence) for Santa before putting the wee one to bed.Quote:

Just moved in with my girlfriend and bought our first tree and all the decorations - the star we had in the decorations kit doesn't stay in place though, the top branch buckles under the weight.
I was thinking a high resolution picture of David Gray celebrating at Hampden would have been a good tree topper though.
I've gone for a minaret.Quote:

Used to be a star. Will be a; angel this year.
More important than what goes on top of the tree is the colour of the lights. It has to be white. Those multi coloured things are garish and tacky.

Interestingly enough the tree at my work is almost as you described (bobbles attached as well), maybe a new trend starting.Quote:

Is it ok to mention flags?Quote:
