This one is easy! I have a few, but I'll stick to just a couple.

One: Bubble lights!
Two: Nutcrackers!
These two get combined as I put the entire collection of Nutcrackers on the fireplace mantle, and intersperse a pine garland with the bubble lights!

Three: The antique ornaments I mentioned before. You can see a few of them here:

(Roughly half of these are antiques, with a quarter added when I was a kid, and the rest reproductions I have added over the years.) I am not showing you a snap from this year, as we decided to do a smaller tree on a table on account of the still adolescent (and therefore nuttier than normal) kitty. So only a handful of my ornaments even came out of their boxes this year. :( Nevertheless, here is the tree, if you're wildly curious:

Even here, you can see quite a few of the antiques, and Santa Mouse nestled in the branches!

We don't do any of this chez us as we're always away with himself's people up in Scotland over the festive season so it'd be a bit pointless.

Love the nutcracker collection :o)

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
