We Are …….. A Two Tree Family

Oh my goodness,  I can almost feel it in my water that this Christmas is going to be pretty special ……

…… because although The Towers is indeed bijoux, has Darrell finally achieved a festive long felt want ……..

…… as we are now ….. officially …… a two Christmas tree family!

While Darrell and Nigel were out mooching for nothing in particular, Darrell spied a pop up, pencil, Christmas tree in the corner of the charity shop at the end of our road.  Nigel said that Darrell stood transfixed, like a reindeer caught in headlights for a few seconds before uttering that he just had to have it and he knew exactly where it could go without it impeaching impeding  on a single inch of our precious floor space.

So, when he asked the lovely lady in the shop how much it was, it would have looked rude not to snatch her hand and arm off, especially when she said she’d give them a special price as Darrell was such a good customer, but then, it got even betterer,  as said tree also came with all the decorations and a set of all singing, all dancing lights!  Let’s just say it was a very emotional walk home with all their swag.

I have to admit it does look rather lovely stood standing in the small space betwixt the TV and arm chair

However, the only problem now is wrestling the control box away from Nigel, as I think we’ve had to oooo and ahhhh at every single sequence, goodness knows how many times because he can’t decide which one he likes the best.  I’ve told him that he can twinkle, fade, flash and wave as much as he likes during the day, but in the evening, due to it’s close proximity to the TV, it has to be set firmly on steady, otherwise it could all get  a trifle distracting and we don’t want Darrell to get one of his heads, especially at this time of year.

Darrell has been like a dog who’s found three bones, a large stick. an abandoned rubber ball and his tail all day, with another tick added to his yuletide bucket list! So …….very happy, jingle bell days.
