Just got the job of putting up our Christmas tree, and I never realised until today how I hate the job. Especially untangling the lights they are a nightmare......

You need to be like me - my job to put the tree up, Mrs Imurg and The Boy's job to decorate it while I sit back and criticise....

My job is the tree and lights, I was nearly at breaking point untangling the lights to be honest

This.
5 boxes out of the loft and I'm done. I let the missus do the decorations just the way she wants them,.. it's the only decision she's allowed to make all year

To avoid untangled lights...... roll them around a rolled up magazine when you take them down. Simple and saves a lot of bother.
I put the tree together, get the lights untangled and tested and then leave HID to decorate.

Another good 'grandad' tip is to test the lights before you put them on the tree.

Never normally fussed about the Christmas tree I usually let the Mrs deal with it but it's my sons 2nd Christmas this year. I know he's to young to appreciate it still but can't wait to put it up with him this year.............. And then spend 2 weeks stopping him from pulling it down and ripping the baubles off

I get the stuff out of the shed, brush away any woodlouse and then leave the Mrs to it. I'm a real bah humbug.

Pity less than half of us actually profess to having any beliefs whatsoever in any way related to Christmas and most reject the notion of Christ out of hand. Funny old paradoxical world in that one thing many profess to want to protect their children from is also at the core of one thing we want our children to enjoy most (see also postings - 'The lies we tell children') - but this is another subject - see Lady Butler-Sloss report today.
Anyway - tree up in mum's room in hospital - not yet got ours up. Will prob put it up on the 19/20th Dec when daughter back from Uni for break.

Yes for many, myself included, Christmas is a secular bright spot cheering up the dark winter months. I do wonder if we'd still be celebrating it with such gusto if it fell in July.

Tree is up in the house. Branched out this year and put blue LEDs around the porch for the first outside lights in my life.

it's not secular though is it? The clue is in what it is called - Christmas.

Don't you find the ball keeps rolling back down again?

Bit like my mum's Christmas angel - needed to stick some bluetac up her petticoats as she kept on being a fallen angel this year.
