| The paper streamer hanging from the ceiling is from around the '50s or very early '60s |
You asked for them, you pleaded for them, you demanded them (well, okay - four of you expressed a mild interest), so here they are - many of my Christmas decorations for this year. Starting at the back of the living-room and working our way around to the TV, here's a brief pictorial panoply to show you how I celebrate the festive season. I'll include footnotes in each pic if there's anything I think you might like to know.

| Sharp-eyed Crivs will spot I now own two Fireball XL5 Bagatelles, as well as my Daleks one |
 |
| This ornament lights up and plays Xmas tunes as Santa's 'flying' sleigh revolves overhead |
 |
| Last year (as in previous ones) I had tinsel stars and bells hanging from the ceiling |
 |
| That's another small tree in front of the MWOM picture. It lights up when switched on |
 |
| The streamer over the wall-plate is 40 years old. The big piccie is Glasgow's Park Circus |
 |
| You can see part of another Xmas tree to the left of the pic. The central one is fibre optic |
 |
| I used to put more Xmas things on the display cabinet, but there's not enough room now |
 |
| The main Xmas tree, which is older than I am (and probably in much better shape) |
 |
| The red crepe-paper globe above the 'sunburst' clock is as old as the main Xmas tree |
 |
| Four '80s traditional Santas from Woolworth's hang from the distinctly '70s looking clock |
 |
| The mice in my house are enormous - perhaps I should hide the cheese somewhere |
