This year we're not bothering to decorate the flat for Christmas. The main reason is that we usually have the tree up in the gaming room as this is where we spend all our time and of course you want to have the tree where you'll enjoy it.

Well nearly 9 months. More like 8 and a half but who's going to argue? Some days it feels like about 3 weeks, other days I think I've aged a lifetime!
