Well, with the help of the children, I finally got the decorations up.
No fairy or angel, so I put a (stuffed) toy "Stan" at the top of the tree.
The look on his face suggests that he is held in place by a rather wicked
method... so I replaced him with Cartman, nobody feels sorry for him.

Crazy thing is that not only did it give my children a laugh, but their
friends seem to recognise Stan and Cartman... what are people letting their
children watch on TV?

Anyways, as the kiddies are off school now, and I have plenty to keep me
busier than usual, I would like to take some of my annual holiday
entitlement now... if nobody objects.
Merry Christmas to you all.

Peter.
