Here is my christmas tree
I love it because it has so much history! It is fake, but it has been our christmas tree since my Mum was 10 (so 52 years- yup she's pretty old!).
This random ugly santa is especially dear to us. It has a lovely story behind it: my Auntie was a baby during the war (born 1940) and on the christmas eve of her first Christmas, this was put into her pram (left outside a shop when my Granny went in with the baby). They never found out who by, but it’s clearly handmade and was such a wonderfully Christmassy thing to do!
And this is the angel that was on the tree when Mum was a child. It used to go on ours but I was a little scared of it (
) so for my fifth birthday my main Christmas present was the gorgeous Angel not at the top. The bauble next to it unfortunately disintegrated 3 years ago but we keep it near the tree each year for tradition's sake. It was on my Grandad's christmas tree before he was born - and he was born in 1906, so that's one very old bauble!
And possibly the star of the show… it’s a Molly Weasley Christmas jumper! This bauble is a Christmas present to my friend, who I met via TSR (seriously, the reason I love this site so much is the number of amazing people I’ve met – in particular this girl, who is now one of my closest friends. Thanks TSR!). Unfortunately it only arrived today so can’t get to hers for Christmas, so I am keeping it on the tree til we can post it. (The colours are for Ravenclaw and the initial for her first name btw).
