And so the Christmas tree is in the house. We settled on European Silver Fir as it was more solid and doesn’t drip as much needles as plain Norwegian Spruce. I hate needles lying all over the floor. We chose a small one because we don’t have the largest apartment in the world and because we want to limit the climbing experience for Felix should he attempt to think it’s for indoor playing.

I haven’t decorated it yet. We’re still waiting for it to settle inside and we managed to buy the wrong Christmas lights, so Marius has to get new ones. A part from that, we’re all set for Christmas. We’ve bought presents for everyone we’re supposed to (and hopefully they’ll all arrive before the Holiday) and we’ve cleaned a lot (still got something remaining).

Another three weeks before Carmenzita comes…
