Deck the Halls

Dec 23, 2009

Are yours decked, ready to go? Perhaps not quite to this extent:

I still have quite a bit of decking to do – I like to keep to the tradition of starting Christmas on December 24th, and not taking the decorations down until Twelfth Night. Yup, my Christmas lights are still twinkling on January 5th, even if they are surrounded by all those sad looking trees tossed out for recycling on New Year’s Day.

So while I rush around getting ready to do the decking, here are some inspiring images for you to relax and enjoy. Today, a rather grown-up and restrained Christmas – no tinsel, no gaudy red and green here. I guess there are no children insisting that Oscar the Grinch has to go on the tree, just because he always has! (all photos via)
