Deck the halls...

Only 13 days until the big fat man in the red suit visits us and I don't have so much as a piece of tinsel on show. 

Cards have been arriving thick and fast and have been put in a pile on the dining table. A house less festive it would be impossible to find. The aim is to get it done this week or at the weekend at the latest, but I can see me sorting out tree lights on Christmas Eve. (It wouldn't be the first time.)

What about you? Is your house looking suitably festive? Do you have a decorating ritual? Is your garden aglow with twinkling lights? Am I the only person who hasn't decked the halls?
