bagatelle

It's traditional here (in Finland) to put up the tree at Christmas Eve, sometimes few days earlier, like us today, when the carpets were off the floor while cleaning. Didn't decorate it completely yet.

We have small piece of forest, where we can get our own pine tree. It hasn't been many times, we didn't get a tree. Afterwards it gets sawed and burned in the boiler room.

I like getting rid of it rather soon, especially if the needles (?) start falling off a lot. The usual day to undress it would be on Epiphany, January 6th. It's not much of a religious habit, just a good day to end Christmas.

This year I haven't had much interest in putting up decorations or lights, we have been renovating a bit at home.
