DDC arrived and helped 'clear' the loft so the boxes and bags started to pile up in the hallway.
Next day we cleared the corner and waited the arrival of the Christmas Tree Applications Manager ..... DGS1
After some shopping, he arrived all ready to start work.
Each branch of the tree was picked out of the box and given to Grandma, we had to sort colours and letters of course! Grandad was in charge of the lights as they needed to be unwound slowly.
The tree gradually crept up in size filling the corner space. It grew so high that it just about fitted under the ceiling.
There is a special joy this year as he has no memory of last year's tree ...... shame but ...... it means we get to enjoy his amazement all over again!!!
Then came the exciting part ...... well for me....... unwrapping the tree decorations. DGS1 was sooooo careful with them all, carrying them carefully to the tree and fixing them onto the tree......except for the knitted decs, they were rolled along the floor .......!
Sorry there's not many photos ..... the excitement took over.
The partly decorated tree doesn't look too bad actually and we have queried whether to add anymore decs ....... I'm all for adding chocolate ones ..... nothing like slowly stripping the tree as the fancy takes us!
We have promised the CTAM that we will continue the decs and will have our village (with train) on show for when he comes again.........
