Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree, lit up like a star……….
It’s no secret that I love Christmas and most of all the Christmas Tree. It is my pride and joy, that is until my overly excited cat realises that the Christmas Tree is there and it up it like a rat up a drainpipe. The past two years have been a constant battle between me and the cat, I see the glimmer in his eye as he looks at the tree then it becomes a battle of who gets to the tree first. 9 times out of 10 I lose and have to drag him reluctanlty out of the tree. To him its a game of chase as he leaps between the branches scurrying further into the bushy tree. As you can image after spending hours decorating the tree I am not pleased as he knocks off my baubles and squishes the branches that I had once poofed out. My deterents so far have not worked and this year I have the added factor of one very curious baby. As much as this daunts me I am still looking forward to those few moments of pride as I switch on the lights and take in my masterpiece however short lived that might be.
Every year I dream of owning a real Christmas tree so this year I am going to share my dream with you. You can win a real Christmas Tree with Not Always Right courtesy of Pines and Needles here.
![[AD] This year has been full of changes, we’ve homeschooled, we’ve worked from home (and still do) and as a result, we have spent more time in the house than we have out. It’s been no surprise that our monthly utility bills have increased over that period.
With our rising bills we wanted to see how easy it would be to reduce our bills and be more in control of our energy usage by switching to a smart home with one of the UKs leading smart home providers @HiveHomeUK. Combined with our Amazon Echo devices we have fully automated the lights in our home with Hive Dimmable Lights. They can be dimmed, set on timer, switched on/off via the app and respond to voice commands through Alexa.
You can find out more ways a smart home with Hive can benefit you in my blog post (link in bio)
