We bought our tree yesterday (14th), which is very early for us. I wanted a Fraser Fir - they are very compact trees, not wide like the more popular Nordmanns - and in previous years we have trouble finding one because we leave it so late.
Well, it's up, it's decorated. I also decorated the wreath for the front door, and enhanced a pre-bought Gisela Graham chicken related wreath for one of the inside doors. D used the spare foliage from the tree to make a plain wreath for the Girls.
Spurred on with the Christmas theme, I made mincemeat today - Cranberry (Nigella's recipe, instead of my usual Delia mincemeat). It looks very pretty, but there isn't a uhge amount of it.
DH started a brie, hopefully it'll be edible by Christmas, and then made ricotta with the whey.
