Pete managed to escape the hospital for a few days and took me away to a Premier Inn in Eastbourne. While we were away we got engaged then I came home to a Christmassy flat...lots of lovely surprises all round really.
Christmas is going to be a lot busier than usual this year as Gavin isn't usually into it and I don't celebrate Christmas at all....as an anti-theist lol
Pete will be staying with us over Christmas and the new year....so I thought...oh what the heck! I have been outvoted so I shall be joining in this time....lol
Oh...and the prezzies under the tree are mine!!!

Here's the Brisbane tree this year! Noice:cool::o
PS. That's City Hall clock tower in the background.

The Brisbane City Christmas Tree will shine its bright lights in King George Square every night until Christmas Eve.
The 20m high tree is the Southern Hemisphere's largest solar-powered Christmas Tree and features a sophisticated solar powered lighting system with 16,000 bulbs on 4km of wiring leading up to a giant star. It is adorned with silver snowflakes and baubles.
The annual Lighting of the Christmas Tree is now in its 122nd year - a tradition the people of Brisbane have been enjoying for generations, and this year promises to be no exception.
Re: Christmas Tree Show and Tell
Wow, Old, gorgeous tree! I guess sometimes bigger is better... :)
Moon, congrats on your engagement. :)
Best wishes for many sales to all,

These are photos of the Norwegian tree sent each winter for over 60 years as a token of friendship and gratitude for Britain’s assistance during World War II. It is set in Trafalgar Square.

Re: Christmas Tree Show and Tell
I didn't know that tradition! What a lovely commemoration!
Re: Christmas Tree Show and Tell
It is a lovely tradition. A sense of continuity which makes one feel secure in a way.

Only YOU can make the holiday special for two HM. I'm in the same boat and Christmas is my favourite time of year so I will make it special by decorating the cottage in my favourite Christmas colours - green, red, gold.
Just because you're not a child anymore HM doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. So, get the Christmas spirit and decorate your house and enjoy! :)
