... and not just by the fact I spent all his our hard-earned money on tickets to the circus.
Before he left for his conference:
Me: "Do you think we should get a Christmas tree this year?"
Geekman: "Um.... No. Not unless you really want one."
Me: "Probably not. Okay. If we did get one, though, would you want a big one or a little one?"
GM: "Maybe a little one. Like, one that stands on the table."
Me: "Yeah, that sounds good. And would we do the Australian thing and decorate it at the start of December, or are you too attached to your Swedish heritage?"
GM: "Why would you put up a tree before the 24th?"
Me: Okay. Just asking. But we aren't going to get one, anyway."
It's only two metres high. That's almost small enough to put on the table, right? Anyway, table-top trees were $20 or more, and I got this one for $25.
Then I developed an even more severe case of Christmas spirit and broke out in fake greenery.
(I hope it's not contagious.)

i love the decorations!
and yes, i agree that decorations should be put up as early as possible, to fully enjoy them!
You made me want a tree too. We will only be home for a few days around christmas, so I thought it wasn't worth it, but now I'm tempted anyway...
That's what google is for, Anastasia :)
And Google tells me it's 6 foot 6 inches.
Which is approximately 8 imperial wombles.
I have to admit to an absolute Christmas tree addiction, usually satisfied when I am home over Christmas.
Not a real Christmas tree without the smell of pine and popcorn...
So, presently keeping an eye out at garden centers for a small conifer for repeated use that wont wilt in the heat. Then put on lights, string popcrorn and start collecting Christmas ornaments...

My Mum has one that's about 20cm high, and sits on the table. She has even suggested putting presents "under the tree" which I find hard to visualise. Unless you actually made a stack and put the tree on top of it. ;-)
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
