Christmas is coming...

...and Jan has got into the spirit by getting the decorations up.
First up were the outside lights and the candy canes.

And then she got stuck into the tree.
We sited the tree upstairs in the "bonus room". This left us with the problem of there being no tree downstairs. Jan was also struggling to accomodate all our decorations on the tree (as we tend to collect them as we go along our travels). The only answer was a second tree, a 7.5 feet one that we have sited in the dining area (or the "nook" as the Canadian's call it).
Yes, that's a beaver under the tree!
Throw in an Advent Calendar...
And an emerging yuletide village...

And we're done! Now, bring on the food!
