I’m not a big Xmas fan. The shopping, stress and commercial pressure just doesn’t sit well with my beliefs about what should really be important. I generally only enjoy Xmas from the close of shops on the 24th onwards.

Anyway, today we decorated.

Despite being the grinch of the house, S1 has me outsmarted.

She has over the years brought me my own decorations in the form of a set of ‘nightmare before christmas’ items.

It’s hard for even the biggest Grinch not to be festive with a fluffy Zero and Jack hiding in the tree.
