During the breakfast-up-bed that Marion and I had this morning (and I was the lucky one who could stay in bed all the time) we suddenly realized that this weekend was the last opportunity to put up the Christmas tree in my apartment together. And because it is the first time for me to have a Christmas tree there, we really wanted to do it together.
So yes, maybe a bit early. But as “Sinterklaas” is for us without having children around not much more of being a nice evening together, we went to buy a Christmas tree. Not a real big one, because in my apartment I think a big tree would really be out of place.
As I had no real preference for the colours for the things in the tree, I let it all up to Marion. If I had done it, most likely it had become a mixture of all kind of colours. But as could be expected, Marion went for purple.
I like our Christmas tree…. and yes, I am ready for Christmas!!!
It was fun to decorate that tree together. As you already said, Sinterklaas is for us just a nice being together. But Christmas will be very different then that for us this year :).
