Yesterday, Rob and I bought our first real Christmas tree for our first real house together!!
It is currently supping up some water from a bucket in the conservatory...we're not putting it up till tomorrow morning as we are worried about acting too soon and the whole tree drying out before Santa comes.
If anyone has any cheeky tips on how to look after a Christmas tree, I would be very grateful - however, if you yourself are after some tips, I have found a marvellous little website that offers great advice on getting the best results out of your tree's life:

Fred Figglehorn
My brother introduced me to the world of Fred Figglehorn on YouTube.
Fred is a character created by Lucas Cruikshank and has a very high-pitched voice. He gets to all kinds of comedic scrapes and has produced a couple of songs.
Fred is either loved or hated - personally, I think he is a hoot - due to his child-like ways.
To ease you into his world, I'm going to provide links to two of his songs. Enjoy...

Hello September
Wow! September! What a sneaky little month this is. It has quite literally turned up out of nowhere!
Most of the kids are back at school, the summer holidays are over, the summer itself is over (although it never came), and we are now officially in the run up to Christmas!
Cue the shops filling their shelves with Halloween products, then fireworks, and all the while having cheeky Christmas paraphernalia subtly placed alongside them until, out of nowhere, the shops are filled to the brim with red, golds and greens...and some blacks, for those people who want to make a statement that they hate Christmas, but really they love it!
So, enjoy the quiet next few weeks of September before eating a mince pie and blasting Wham's "Last Christmas" is not deemed too bizarre...

Christmas is coming...
Hang on! It's still August??!!
Every year, it seems to get earlier and earlier when the Christmas items start hitting the shops.
Today, I saw some Christmas cards in a card shop.
The kids aren't even back at school yet.
However, cards aren't too bad. It's when the decorations start to emerge that you know we are entering into the countdown to Crimbo!
Has anyone seen any Christmas items in shops yet? Informing us of the date you saw them will also be a great indicator as to how early shops are setting up for Christmas...
It will also be great to know when you hear your first Christmas song!
