Well, it is that time of year! Getting the Christmas presents sorted out. I have got a new catalogue and ordered a new credit card. Isn't it awful. Amazon and eBay are also getting a hammering. We can't afford it, as you may be able to tell, but what the hell! I could ramble on about how pressured parents feel to conform to the massive institution of the media circus that is Christmas, but I can't be arsed.
We are putting the tree up at the weekend. I am not one of these people who like or even want a pristine Christmas tree. We just put it up and the kids decorate it. 'You can imagine'! All the decorations go on the bottom of the tree at the front. It looks so crap, but I like it that way. I am not one for things looking 'nice', what ever the hell that means! After the cats have dragged it over a couple of times and the dog has pissed up it, it always looks a little better anyway.
Well the washer has stopped so I am off. Tara

I do the christmas tree with my sister. every year, we pick a colour theme and just go with it =P it doesn't look half bad, actually.
As for my own room, I put up a bit of black and white tinsel around my room and an ickle christmas tree in the corner which has lights built in =P that's me sorted!
