He Won’t Put Our Tree Up This Weekend : (

[Smowball]

Every single year we go and buy our real  Christmas tree at a certain garden centre, bring it home and then decorate it, plus put all the other decorations up. Admittedly I do 95% of it but I love doing it. This has been a particularly hard year pain-wise, which has rapidly worsened the last 2 weeks, but was looking forward to this tomorrow. But just mentioned to MrSmow about getting our tree tomorrow & he said 'it's far too early! Not till nxt weekend'. I said we ALWAYS get it 1st weekend..... he just denied it point blank and said no we don't. He absolutely isn't budging on this, and I know it's a petty point, what with everything going on in the world, but it's only once a year and I really look forward to it. I can't get it myself, let alone get it in car/house on my own, and besides, I enjoy choosing the tree with him. I know I sound childish, but seeing as I'm not even asking him to decorate it, just choose it with me & bring it home, I don't think it's too much to ask. Why he is being so stubborn about this I genuinely don't know. I've even gone thru all the photos on my iPad of last year and there is it, 1st weekend in December, and the tree being decorated! : (

Now awaiting all the comments telling me to grow up lol..... but I don't have many things to look forward to at the mo, this was just one of them.

We always trotted off to the garden centre the weekend before Christmas. Neither of us wanted it up before then, nor did we want lil pasta to get over excited. It just becomes old and dare I say boring, if put up too early. And real trees can quickly look ugly.

Mr BM said in the week we would put the outdoor lights up this weekend.  Yesterday he was too knackered having worked all Friday night.  Today has been bitterly cold with rain/sleet on an off all day.  I am so pleased because I really couldn't be bothered this weekend (I have been mainly working and cooking)!

I don't put up a tree or decorations.  Don't have space in the living room for one.

Was just thinking today that I haven't seen the Stobart lorries collecting trees from the farm round here, but thats maybe because my bus time changed and I'm home an hour later!  Or it could be the fact that part of the route they take is closed!
