I didn’t put a tree up this year and like you have collected baubles over the years, I really missed it.I wasn't going to bother with my big tree but you know what? I did make the effort and I'm glad I did. I've had that tree for about 30 years and collected all the baubles over the years from everywhere, Harrods, Vienna, Selfridges, Berlin, Jenners. Each one is a memory. I didn't put it up one year and it felt like I was missing an old friend.
As for Yankee bundles, I love them. Soooo cheap and free postage.

I did dress the fireplaces and love the way they look, very Victorian.
