Yes, it that time of year again. normally we have saved a tree setting up session until near Xmas eve but we decided to go for yesterday. We duly got our artificial tree down (with central heating, real ones don't last) only to find the connector between two parts was missing. So, nothing for it, I went to the nearest town 10 miles away this morning and got another one. It should make us a bit more Christmassy
Have you noticed how little religion there seems to be in the the season these days? Despite singing and playing of carols it doesn't seem to mean there is much belief there. I suppose the churches will be quite full for the Nativity Plays and the Midnight Xmas Eve services but I bet most there won't be along till next Xmas. Mind, there is other religion going on under our noses. The Holly keeps the evil spirits away as does the green tree. Mistletoe is associated with courting and spouse finding though it seems quite innocuous now.
Traditional turkey this Xmas? Not really only about 100 years I think. It was goose before that, just read Charles Dickens 'Christmas Carol' to see that. Mind, we will be even more traditional I think with good old roast beef. Now that is tradition.
