i love Christmas


...call me old fashioned and a peter pan ...but i love it ...

this weekend i escaped from Milano up to my friends' country house
and we set to work making the most amazing Christmas tree ever ...

this involved a long walk in the melting snow and finding the most enormous tree that had fallen down with the weight of the recent snow...
we dragged it about a kilometer back to the house ... trimmed it a bit and started painting it ....
i managed to hand paint about 6 million leaves ... it is an oak

it stands about 10 foot high or about 3 metres :)
made pom poms and christmas cake and wrapped presents for all the rest of the weekend ...

and here it is
