Foreign Perspectives

Actually, it’s been upon us for a month or two already in some shops.

Should you go for an artificial christmas tree or a “real” one is the question that comes up just about every year in many households. We’re basically an artificial tree family basically for simplicity and lack of cleaning required afterwards: we’ve seen the amount of cleaning up that our real one in the back garden would take and just couldn’t face that in the house.

My parents even have an artificial tree dating way back to Christmas 1960 which probably sets some kind of record: it’s been erected in the house every year since then! Wendy reckons that it’s totally archaic but it’s a family tradition to put it up so we’ll be doing that again in the next few weeks.
