As chinese tradition, we still can't properly celebrate christmas this year with a tree. It's out last year of mourning for my grandparents. We're not supposed to "celebrate" the holidays for a span of 2 years after their death.

It was weird seeing gifts piled up in a corner of our house where we were supposed to have our yearly christmas tree. Gifts without the tree can be a sorry sight, so I did a couple of adjustments here and there and transformed our chinese ponkan tree into this...



Still rough around the edges, but it's closest to a christmas tree we can have this year. So that'll do. ^_^
