I have officially lived on my own for seven years now, and for whatever reason, I have never actually decorated my own home. Ever. This is a tragedy. Today, I correct this massive oversight. This little gem is my first Christmas tree. A Christmas tree photo shoot would not be complete without the grand finale immortalized.
This is the completed tree. I may look a little to happy about the whole project, but this was my first attempt. I think I may be justified in having a slight love affair with “o tannenbaum”. And here is one more quick picture of the lovely thing 
But a Christmas tree was not all we put together…
Finally, no Christmas could possibly be complete without the roar of a fire.
Merry Christmas
Love your Christmas tree and Christmas decorating – can it all pack into the back of your car for Christmas in St George
ha ha ha. perhaps i can. perhaps i can.
It is the food that i am more interested in though
OK – I won’t do any baking in advance – but we will make sure that there are lots of yummy things to nibble while we are all together. I’m especially looking forward to that big turkey dinner.
So loving your new site brother – we love that you decorated!!! Your pictures are awesome, and that fire! mmmmm Warm.
We are SO excited to all be together with you for Kwanzaa. We know how much you like the pan African festivities.
We surely do miss you!
Love
Felicity
