[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: When the decorations go up (was: Being Scrooge-like)

It always seems really silly to me (for us in the South, at least) to have
the traditional Northern Hemi decorations, such as snowmen, reindeer, fat
guys in really *not* hot weather red suits. So our tree is always green and
not one of those white feigned snow ones, simply hung with fairy lights and
masses of fake flowers. The year before last it was just fake sunflowers and
lights. Last year we went for the coloured flowers though ;-) It looked nice
and made much more sense to me than having *snowflakes* all over the place
(I ask you... It's usually over 30C here on Christmas Day!). The rest of the
house was just hung with some evergreen prunings, which filled the house
with the smell of eucalypts... Keep it simple, me.

sale in early September...)
