It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....




We have found the endless supply of Christmas decorations here, and have been told to decorate at will.

Christmas trees have started to appear for sale, and the berries are ripening on their branches making the neighbourhood look festive.



Angus has decided to wear his 'festive' outfit when he goes out for a walk.




We went to the local Mall to source the best tree. There are farms for the more traditional local lumberjacks where you go off into a forest armed with an axe and a picnic, and find your perfect tree and then chop it down.

We found it hard enough standing them straight to look at them!



Our perfect tree.


The chappy put it in our big truck for us and we took it home. After a day to let his branches relax we decorated up and think he looks beautiful.




We put up a few decorations around the house and with the log fire burning
it was feeling very Christmassy.



One by one the houses in the street have begun to turn on their lights.






Then the snow put in an appearance just to finish off the scene.



We made a snowman, but by morning he had melted. Angus was a bit scared of him, and didn't mind that he had gone!

He got to eat his nose!
