Its that time of year again. The Christmas holiday season is almost, and what better way to get into the mood than setting up the Christmas tree? We didn’t put it up last year (hmmm… I wonder why? Maybe laziness…..) but this year, the kids kept pestering to put it up, promising to help. 
Was still lazy actually today, since I just got back from Pakistan, but thought it should be a worthwhile thing to do with the kids having been away for 7 days.
We’ve had our tree for a little over 7 years now, and Chris and I were wondering if we should simply get a new tree. So, we headed down to Ikea for dinner and a spot of Christmas tree and decoration shopping. After looking at the real pines, the kids decided that our tree was more beautiful, and that we should only buy some new decorations. ok lor….
When we reached home, it was Christmas tree set up time!
The tree was bought from Geylang and ts really quite simple to setup. A metal base and a wooden bamboo stem.
Then each level of branches has a central holder. Here goes the first branches.
The kids are already pumped up, and are so excited! It helps to have christmas music in the background.
Just added the 3rd layer of branches. Looking good!
Fourth layer finally on.
Fifth layer on.
Sixth layer.
Seventh layer.
Finally, the tree is fixed. Now on to the decorations!
Then, they start putting on the decorations….
Now with more foil and frills…
Some finishing touches…
Finally… the completed tree!
Hmm… it’ll need some presents under it.
