Our (large, real) tree is due to be delivered tomorrow and I have started putting up a couple of things around the place - an Advent wreath on the front door, some baubles on an orange tree in from the garden cos of frost, and on a ficus by the window; a poinsettia garland; some (fake) branches with red berries; and I always put out an Advent candle thing that I remake every year so that we can light one of the candles when we have dinner each Sunday evening in Advent.
I love it all ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif) .

I drive through the neighbourhood looking for people who think they are better than chavs. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif)
Anyway, without his giant blow-up Santa and Snowman in the driveway, how else would the newest choristers know which was the Director of Music's house to turn up to for the Christmas party?

I make up the Advent wreath the first Sunday. It always has an angel in the center, replaced on Christmas eve with a candle. I used moss covered branches this year in place of green, a gift from a wind storm early in Dec. I put a large wreath made out of red bells on the front yard. I have given up on standing on ladders, so no lights on the house anymore. I bring out my collection of Santas on St. Nicholas day and keep them up until Christmas Eve. Friends and Neighbors tend to leave Santa figures at my door to add to the collection. : ). Then away they go for anther year on Christmas Eve and the tree goes up before the grandchildren arrive. Mary, Joseph and the Christ Child come out on Christmas Eve as well. and the three wise men start their journey around the living room. On 12th Night we have all of our friends over, have a 3 kings cake, bless the house, the apple tree and have a party to end the season.
