OUR tree goes up on Sunday morning. All the children (now all adults with homes and trees of their own) will gather to squabble over base layers of tinsel, the right number and placement of baubles and other trinkets and to squirrel away the said baubles and trinkets they believe to be rightfully theirs - sometimes launching another round of sibling squabbling. Oh Christmas, what a joy it is.

Your tree up? Is there a family tree decorating tradition? Does it always end with someone sulking at one end of the couch? No? Just us then.
