Deck the halls

When we picked up the tree we also picked up some fir branches. The lady at the yard gives them away free, as they end up with so many of them, and I always take as many as I can fit in the car with the tree. This year I thought it would be nice to use the bigger branches to dress the front door.

So Brian got his ladder out, cut some wire into strips, and set about tying the branches to the rose over the door.

Four branches seemed to be what we needed to create an arch that reached right over. Then it was time to cover it in lights, and voila, a perfect door decoration.

Magical.
