My first real Christmas tree!
Christmas here has been a real treat. It's kind of like visiting the set of a Christmas movie. Something starring an adorable yet feisty child star (before the meth years) who teaches a grumpy, cynical stranger to love again.
Having never lived the northern hemisphere life before, it's weird to be bundling up in scarves and boots and gloves because it's really bloody cold. Not (as in Oz) because it's an awesome fashion opportunity (although it is).
Then there's the tree. The tree! A real fir can be had for a mere $20! (The pumpkin patches set up on corners for Halloween just switch right over to trees after Thanksgiving). So charming to have that Christmas tree smell, and fairy lights glow in the house–not just in shopping centres.
I hate to say it, but it really does feel a lot like Christmas!
Thank you to my readers, all three of you. Hope wherever you are, something charming and magical happens. Hope you get what you wished for. The two things I want aren't sold in shops, but I'll keep wishing them anyway.
Merry Christmas!
