Three weeks 'til Christmas? Eeek.

We put up the Christmas tree today and I had quite the battle arranging the lights. Mum always leaves it to me, saying I'm better at it. As I struggled with tangled cords and scratchy branches which combined to nearly topple the tree (Mum caught it!), I voiced the unworthy suspicion that this was her way of pushing the job off on me. She laughed and helped me disentangle myself from the tree. There must have been a gremlin in the lights this year, they weren't tangled to start with.

But the decorations are done now and looking lovely.
