I was thinking the other day when I took that photo of the palms, how really they would be more fitting for Christmas - I'm betting there were more likely palm trees than pine trees around there. <BR/>Hope your cough clears up soon! ~XOXOTinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584047180190646921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925100199063229025.post-43983929655935041102007-12-15T19:00:00.000+11:002007-12-15T19:00:00.000+11:00Hey Robyn, you can use my words ; )They are a part...Hey Robyn, <BR/>you can use my words ; )<BR/>They are a part of a Dutch poem I wrote, which I translated.

I'll try to get a picture. My tree this year is a fake ficus I already have. I have begun to decorate it with tiny things, like the origami ornament and some cranes my Japanese friend gave me. DH collects Tweety too, so I'm sure they will be on the tree. I wasn't going to do it, but...well.....how can it be Christmas without some kind of decorated tree. Last year I had a twig tree with art stuff on it. I will NEVER again have a cut Christmas tree. I would love to have a living tree, but I don't think dh will go along with planting it later.
