For the first time, we spent the Christmas time without our parents and relatives. I managed to buy a 2.5-metre tree in wind storm and carry home on a double decker. (Fortunately, the driver allowed me to get on the bus...I was quite a bit worried.) It proved to be too high but the skylight helped (see below)...The English decorate the trees on December 1st so there is plenty of time to enjoy it. Giving Christmas cards personally, not sending via post, is another interesting tradition around here. (huge business for card factories I'm sure...)
Our tree
Drinking coffee wearing mummy's jumper
Taking a bath (this unusual way is not an everyday practice of course :-) )
Cards from my colleagues
Due to extreme weather, water started dripping from the ceiling at 1am on Christmas Eve. perfect timing.
Our neighbour's Christmas cards.
