Christmas tree competition

Hey lovelies.

As Christmas is fast approaching it seems like the perfect time for a Christmas tree photo competition :hyper:

I spend quite a while helping to decorate our tree, I wonder if you guys are all the same? So I thought it would be fun to share some pics!

Here is a fun fact, did you know that in Victorian times, they used to put real candles on Christmas trees :eek: Glad we've moved on from those fire-hazard days!

So... upload a pic of your Christmas tree, and then on the 3rd January we will choose a winner out of a hat and the winner will get space for a extra 25 PMs

Sharing is caring :heart:
" And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    When you have 1000, who needs 25 extra ;)

    Yes! Could you imagine that now :eek: I'm someone that would try it though just to see but would probably end up burning house down straight away!

    I shall post a pic at some point - love decorating :)
