We weren't going to get a Christmas tree as we spent Christmas at my Mum and Dads and there isn't loads of room in our apartment. However, Julian can never resist an absolute bargain and when he saw this going for £5 a couple of days before Christmas Eve, suddenly having a christmas tree was a good idea! He brought it home after I'd gone to bed so it was a lovely surprise when I got up to feed Brielle in the middle of the night and it was glittering in the dark with its (hugely oversized) star and fairy lights!
