The Christmas decorations are up

No decorations this year I thought. I was not in the mood and I could not be bothered to do so.

Well it was that way until today when I changed my mind. I am glad that I did as the place looks braw now that they are up. It is also nice seeing the decorations that the younglings made (including some that my eldest made last year) I am also pleased with how I have set out the decorations. I think I have done things that I would not have done beforem but I think it works well for it.

The younglings helped me decorate the tree. It did not take long as it is only a wee tree, I am not bothered as I am not interested in having a big tree but it does look a little lost next to the television.

My partner has been to see WASP in Glasgow so I have had a night to myself. I must confess that I do like getting to spend nights on my own. I enjoyed watching a programme about Scottish history. My history education was very poor indeed, so I have to make up for lost time. It will help me teach the younglings about their history.

I did not realize how tough it was for Scotland in the past. It caused a lot of Scots to emigrate to Canada, America and Australia.
