Proper Pine

 For the last twenty yar we have had the same tree in a box but this year the traditional pine has been resumed for that authentic smell.  It arrived as a special delivery from the North Pole at midday. We did not get the decorations on until just now.  The underneath is a bit threadbare but there is still three days of shopping madness to go.  We have other new arrivals as well like bears, boxes, hangings and some gnomey things.
