On the Tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me ... A rather splendid Christmas tree!

It's lovely to be guest blogging here on the lovely little Lilypad and even more special because its my absolute favourite time if year! 

I love everything Christmas! From cheesy tunes to mince pie making, every festive fabness gets me happy and all excited for the big day. 

By far,my most favourite thing, is going to Birches Valley as a family and buying our Christmas tree. 

I love real trees - the smell, the feel, the look, the fun in choosing that perfect one that sits happily in the corner of the room. 

So on the tenth day of Christmas, we chose a wonderful 7 foot tree after lots of looking, getting muddy, getting wet, getting prickled - the perfect one...in the hands of someone else! Noooooo! 

"That one is perfect!" I whispered to my hubs, pointing at a couple who were holding two trees.

"The one on the right? Oooh it is!" He replied.

The thought of rugby tackling them to the ground crossed my mind, but we waited, stalked, stared at the couple while they made their decision to leave it! ....... They left it! 

Like a Christmas tree hero my hubs was there in a flash, practically falling on it, grabbing it with both hands; Ours! 

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me... A beautiful, perfect, Christmas tree!
