There is no such thing as a perfectly shaped Christmas Tree! Maybe it's just me, but I rather like the wonky ones. Branches a bit sparse on one side and everything lop sided. When I was little I used to worry that the wonky trees would be left behind, that they'd never get dressed up and look pretty. I've move on - but not much! I still insist on decorating the side facing the wall that no one sees.
The question is this, is 1st December too early for a Christmas Tree? Are the early extra days of pine smelling loveliness worth a crispy tree and fallen needles by Boxing Day? I vote 'yes' for a Christmas Tree on the 1st! But with or without a tree, it's feeling a lot like Christmas already.
