You've got how many Christmas trees? I hear you say.
For someone trying to simplify her life, three Christmas trees might seem somewhat excessive.
I can explain!
One is made of things we happened to have already (see post on 16 Dec).
This one, growing in a pot, was a garden centre bargain three years ago. While we wait for it to be big enough to be our indoor tree (next year I think) we have it on the porch with deep cherry red lights which I can't seem to photograph properly - they're not orange as they look here.
The tree proper is a beauty. Dark and glossy, smelling wonderful, Scottish grown and freshly cut, it was a wonderful deal from Ikea.
£25 with a £20 voucher to be spent late January/early February - probably their quietest weeks of the year. How's that for clever marketing?
Did you know that in Finland postage rates are reduced in the first half of December? More smart thinking from the Scandinavians.
