Each year mum would get excited about Christmas. She would drop many hints about doing her tree, which I loved doing anyway. She would book me in for present wrapping and tree decorating. When I arrived to do it she would have sausages rolls and pigs in blankets in the oven ready to keep us going whilst we were putting as many decorations as possible in the tree. When it was done, she would say it was lovely and I would say there is just enough and any more would be too much. When I had gone she would add the rest of the baubles and thought I didn't know - he he. She would then fill every space possibly with deorations and ornaments - she just adored this time of year,
