halfpint of mulled cider Dec 2020 10:37am, 18 Dec 2020 33,583 posts	Quote Pin halfpint of mulled cider We had a fake tree for many years which is still in the loft. When we moved up here we decided to try a real tree and now I'm not allowed to go back to the fake one. QP wouldn't even let me buy the tree without him so I had to wait until Wed when he arrived home. We literally stopped at the garden centre on the way home. We have lots of Christmas traditions and I love that no matter how old QP gets he still expects them. We have a calendar with pockets but because he was in Fort William he got a text message advent instead. We put the tree up whilst drinking mulled cider now that he is (almost) old enough and watch a lot of Christmas films together. We always do lots of Christmas baking together as well. Christmas Day will be strange as it's just us two. We are usually with my parents, sister, BIL and now their kids (a 6 year old and 2 yr old twins). I will miss seeing the nephews but to be honest quite looking forward to a more laid back Christmas.

Really nice to be appreciated - I mean I know the sales guys would have had an amazing year as sales have been up massively thanks to covid but it's a lovely and unexpected though Just need to keep it away from Gnome next week

Our original tree (the one before this) was given to us by a Muslim friend when we first moved in together. She had had it for her kids and they were then grown up.
