5. This is what happens when you let the children decorate on their own

This was the first year I let the kids have a go at decorating the tree themselves and I'll have to admit it was probably a couple of years too early! Bless them for trying, they loved it and it was fun to watch but the tree looks a complete state and one of my original baubles from my first tree is now lying in more than one piece. They are asleep now so excuse me while I go redress the tree and look for superglue......!! #christmastreefail #thekidsdidit #atleasttheytried

Oops! Pulling pine needles off a Christmas Tree is like popping bubble wrap! Therapeutic, and once you start you can't stop! �� #christmastreefail #fail #byebyechristmas
