Lovely article, Tessa. I think fairy lights are the number one cause of familial disharmony over Christmas. We have a lovely angel for the top of the tree; she’s nothing special but she’s been with us since I was a child and I’d never replace her. This is why I could never do a themed tree; just too much sentiment attached to childhood decs. My mum formally handed over the angel to me but decided at the last minute to buy a little tree so I’ve had to give her back. Have a lovely time and break. 💕

It is exactly this. That little angel, so precious and treasured ❤️ Warm wishes for Christmas & the coming year to you Moira.

Ps your husband is so right about bauble placement; it drives me irrationally nuts when they rest on the branch below.
