Of course one little set back won't stop our family Yule celebrations. I got the furniture moved around to accommodate the tree and the boxes down from the loft straight after work yesterday.
10:00 - So it's Sunday morning and just before the work to transform our home into a festive grotto. I'm taking some time out before the big push to relax. By the time I go to bed tonight we will have our decorations up. It's not going to be helped by the fact I'm struggling with a sniffle.
14:30 - We are in full on festive mode. Christmas films are on the telly and I've been untangling the lights. We'll need food at some point so a trip to the shop will be needed soon.
14:45 - I've bought a chicken, some bread cakes and potatoes. Not a traditional Sunday dinner but still, perfect for the day we are having.
15:05 - Tree is all up, just everything else to do (including the second tree in the dining room). This is where it gets intense.
17:41 - All done save the putting away all the boxes and the kids' tree (which Rags still insists on sorting). I'm taking a short break before clearing away the mess.

It's been difficult doing this with a cold which hadn't gotten any better as the day has gone on but it's done and we are now ready to start the season.
Now bring on the feasting!
