Deck the Halls

Thursday marks the first day of summer, but also the first day of December – which can mean only one thing – time to Deck the Halls!

But which of these trees will you be putting up tomorrow……

The “White Christmas” Tree

Let the kids help trim the tree? You must be kidding right? Your kids with their mismatched, hotch-potch of tatty decs and awful looking things they made at kindy aren’t getting anywhere near YOUR tree. Whether you’ve gone for red and green or a modern colour-scheme, like everything in your life, your tree is organised, symmetrical and planned to the last bauble. Decking the halls is not a fun activity for you. It’s a military operation. And once it’s done? Strictly NO TOUCHING!

The “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” Tree

Your tree stands out in the crowd, just like you do. There are no rules about colour, heck the more flamboyant the better as far as you’re concerned. You’ve even found a peacock to stick on the top this year. You like to think you’re more laid back than “White Christmas” lady, but in reality, you’ll let the kids help you decorate the tree, then fix it up to your own standards later after they’ve all gone to bed. Best of both worlds right? Organised family fun!

The “We wish you a Merry Christmas” Tree

Your tree has everything but the kitchen sink on there, making your friends “White Christmas” and “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” gasp in horror. Tinsel, craft projects, garlands, old baubles from grandma, things YOU made when you were in school.  Your tree is filled with memories and that’s just the way you like it. There are no rules, and anything goes. Everyone can put anything anywhere on your tree and it just makes it all the better as far as you’re concerned. Who cares what it looks like once it’s up, the fun you’ll all have doing it is more important than how it turns out.

We'd love to see some photos of your tree. Why not share your pics once your tree is up this week?
