First /real/ tree. We also have a fake one, but it's old, missing branches and needing replacement. We thought it would appreciate another tree coming in to help it out this year.
Y'know, I actually haven't noticed it smelling like pine. Maybe it's some weird version that can actually grow in Australian Summer's that doesn't have a scent...
We're having a Christmas lunch thing at our place with mum's family, which is rather small, thankfully.
I just can't imagine being in shorts/tshirt for Xmas.
*realizes she is wearing no socks, thin pajama pants and a tank top*
Well, there've been colder days here...
I have to stay up till 12. No difficulty (Probably for anyone here), but that means I have to go around prodding the younger kids awake or they'll eat me alive for letting them miss the presents. Last year....[shudder]
