Our plan was to add to it every year until we had a spectacular Christmas display that would be on a 'must see' list every year, for the Christmas light fanatics.
Last year, we didn't even put a tree up. No decorations. No lights. A non-event Christmas ... followed by a destructive tornado!
This year, Adoring Husband pulled all of the decorations out of the shed, only to discover that, after 5 years, some of them had disintegrated, as had the plastic attachments that held them to the roof.
So we've had to replace some of the lights, as well as buy a couple of extras.
We got some solar powered candy canes for the path and some solar powered fairy lights to drape over the Geisha Girl shrub in the centre of the front garden.
We also got quite a tall green Christmas tree that glows and flickers green lights.
It looks very Christmassy!
Our tradition for Christmas dinner is to have seafood. Lots of it. Crabs and prawns and fish and calamari, as well as the traditional ham and salads.
In Australia, it's too hot in December to have a cooked dinner ... you know, turkey and vegetables and pie, not an option in our house.
So our seafood is ordered. Our ham is in the fridge. Our lights are hung. Our tree is up.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Nite all.
