All I can say is...

I am greatly blessed!

Even though this is not a permanent tree, but it's a nice sight to look at until the end of the year.

Of course, most of the hanging ornaments are from my kind friend @fusion.lover who so happened to have 2 trees and she was more than willing to make my new home a little more colourful for Christmas.

But if you look closely, there are 6 distinct ornaments that are either mine or some were gifted to me throughout this year, 2018.

Let's see if @elizacheng and @chloephuan93 can recognise some of them or not.

The presents are a mixture of some I received from my friends last Christmas party, and some I bought for myself and there's one hidden for my parents.

But it didn't start so nicely in the beginning

As I have mentioned that this was not mine, @fusion.lover had this tree sometime back, and since it was never touched for the whole year it has been set aside gathering dusts.

Usually my skin isn't that sensitive but when I came home with it I realised my entire left lower arm was covered with rashes.

By the time I took this picture it was already starting to subside after an hour.

(Praise the LORD!)

So I had to do something about it. Even though I didn't manage to take out the bottom part but I made sure that the plastic pine leaves were thoroughly washed with serai (lemon grass) detergent and rinsed thoroughly.

Something you got to do before you put up your decorations...

If it is washable, wash it.

This is the good part of fake plastic pine trees.

I even wiped each and every old ornament I wanted to add with a cloth and I could see all the dusts got stuck to my wet towel.

It has turned grey since then... And I will need to soak it through to get the cloth clean again

So there you go. A simple small tree for a small home. It does start to feel a lot like Christmas...

圣诞节缺少了圣诞树总是有点差了一点事项似的。。。

而今年真的是值得感恩的一年。

@fusion.lover 如果没有正好拥有多一颗小树的话我的小家可能也没有那么来得缤纷彩色。就算只是一颗小树但是布置了今年内值得容纳下来的美好时光。这个可能Eliza 和 Chloe 才能人的出来的装配。

不过过程可不是如此顺利，毕竟这也是一颗旧树。满铺灰尘的状况可不列外。一搬回来时就发现左手竟然红痒起来了！只好即刻给这颗小脏树洗个澡。连装铺的灰尘都把一片干净的布都染灰了。

不过还是值得感恩，因为如果不是塑胶制作的话就不知如何下手了哈哈。

礼物有些是朋友提早给的，也有些是预备给父母的。毕竟这是自己第一次拥有的家，这棵树可来的正时增加圣诞气氛。
