Shiny Christmas tree


Little Princess was visiting.
As well as two of her cousins, too.
They decorated the Christmas tree.
And it turned quite shiny.


Or should it be called real shiny?


There is almost all the ribbon they could find.

I brought in also a small pine.
It had grown from a seed by itself,
but unfortunately too close to cottage,
so I thought it would be better cut it down,
before it grows up.

I was hoping it would bring some scent of coniferous,
but no.
Maybe it is too small for it.
Or maybe this flu makes me smell less.

Dry flowers were not a great idea in the centerpiece.
Not with Miina.
She used to chew them.
So I needed to do something else.
I bought 3 hyacinths,
cut a small branch from an old spruce.
Took fake cloves and pigeons from the ruined arrangement.
Even though Miina was hanging around,
she haven't eaten it yet.
But there is still time...

There will be only eight in the table on Christmas eve.
I think we manage it with only one table.
Less pieces of  furniture to move.

I don't have any extra days off before Christmas,
so I have now two lists:
to do -list
- like "wrapping on Tuesday" 
and "shopping on Thursday"
Other is shopping list, of course.

Neither of them has cleaning mentioned.
Still considering it.

ps. Minni and Miina are participating a phot challenge by Royal Canin.
If their photo gets enough likes,
they will get food for a year.
Voting is possible every day in

  1. Teillä on koema kuusi, itselläni on sellainen pieni, ruukussa oleva männynoksa jossa muutama ledi sillä perinteisellä "valkoisella" valolla. Minen niistä monivärisistä oikein perusta.

    Kuinkas vanha prinsessa on? Oma kummilikkani oli yhdessä vaiheessa hirmu ujo mutta puhumaan oppimisen myötä hän on taas paljon rohkeampi ja juttua tulee kuin Runebergiltä )

    1. Prinsessa täyttää 3 tammikuussa. On enempi ukin perään - mikä esim nyt sunnuntaiaamuna oli varsin mukavaa, kun kirkas, pirteä ääni ilmoitti 5:12 "Nyt leikkimään! Ukki!"

    1. Itsekin ihailen pikkuisten rohkeutta poiketa "perinteisestä" suomalaisesta vaatimattomuudesta -ja ihmettelen myös, että palloniput ovat saaneet olla kissoilta täysin rauhassa : D
