O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree…

This post is a wee bit belated, but…

With our son now crawling around and very ably pulling himself up on all the furniture around the house we decided not to put up a Christmas tree, mainly for the tree’s sake. I found a solution around the problem of wanting but not being able to have a tree though, and I have to admit that I LOVE our ‘tree’ of wild hypercium berries and pine tree cuttings. After collecting our decorations from storage one morning, I happily spent some time trimming the tree before continuing with my Christmas baking.

Santa should come see me when he is need of someone to guide his sleigh. All my reindeers seem to be named Rudolph.

A. thought that these reindeers were far to merry looking to be eaten. The hardest part about making these were getting the pretzels to break in the right spots. Between A & I, we managed to waste more than half a pack of pretzels that didn’t look right for the antlers!
