We have our tree already. It's the biggest one we've had in a number of years. :)
Do you use real candles in England or just electric lights?

They have chosen an unusual colour for the decorations but it really works well.

Mine is still out in the yard, hopefully I'll bring it in the weekend. I don't think I have ever hear of any one useing real candles, even as a kid we had electric lights, mine are LED now

Oh I agree, the purple bows are very striking!! I grew up always raising the tree and decorations on first Sunday in Advent. I do know some traditions have it being raised on C/Eve - but that is way too much work at a time when one ought to be going to bed early and waiting for Santa....... &*> YAMxx

IT is though small but the Wallingford is a small town. I seem to remember it being bigger when I was young
