  3. If there was just one of you and no-one to share with (or row with!) it would be no fun. Pour yourselves a glass of mulled wine (or two), test a bit more of the Christmas cake, if there's any left... and sit and enjoy your tree. Hope you're not working tonight!

  4. CHRIS I want this nice shiny star on top!
    JOHN No way. It has to be a fairy! Give it here!
    CHRIS Screw your damned plastic fairy! You get your way every year! (He grabs the fairy and stomps on it)
    JOHN Boo hoo! What did you do that for? That was a leaving gift from The All Bar One staff in Sheffield!
    CHRIS Well I got this star from The Wales Office for Research and Development.

    5. John - No I haven't "bugged" your cottage. Your various pets have bugged it. Try "Imaverol".

  5. This is why only one person should ever do the tree. and then when the other person goes to bed you arrange it properly. or you do a me, put lights on it and call it done.

  7. Secret of a successful marriage - only one megalomaniacal tree decorator per household. I thought everyone knew that....

  8. My husband has learned after thirty years that if the garland is not properly draped on the tree there is no Christmas cheer in our house.

    And I have learned that I have a jewel of a husband!

  15. I had to re-read that title to make sure it wasn't a personal message.

  16. I am dense. I thought you were putting up a row of trees. My husband always became a monster even before the decorating started. He just hated getting the tree straight in the stand. Our ceiling is high so we always had a big tree. Notice I said had.

  22. I've just been told, in no uncertain terms, that Lady Magnon will be dressing our tree this year. She's fed-up with my jokey decorations, and Mickey Mouse fairy, and wants things done 'properly'. She's so dull.

  23. my kids did the tree this year ... I came home to find a vision of beauty xx

  24. Not sure whether you mean 'row' as in argument or 'row. as in 'line' but presume the latter as i think I can see stairs in the background. I think we can say that the season has really begun. So Happy Christmas.

  25. It's not Christmas until the first Christmas row!!
