Once upon a time there was a Christmas Tree….
After decades of northern hemisphere winters and real fir trees indoors at Christmas, we wanted something different for a summer, Australian Christmas. So we collected driftwood, found a bucket, some rope and created our own “tree”.
With a birthday in the first week of January, it seemed logical to change the decorations but to keep the tree a bit longer than usual.
Then it became a challenge. How else could we transform the tree? Could we keep it all year?
