I reserve my real utter hatred for the "fəstive" word. Which can do one, and then do one all over again. We now have three trees in our house. Three.

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com has made me feel almost human again. As if I might once more be part of society. No mean feat, at this time of year! 😃

Why do people put trees in houses?

You've got Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband) to thank for that.

He and Victoria popularised the idea of having a tree inside the house and decorating it. Queen Charlotte, German wife of King George III introduced the Christmas tree to Britain in around 1800. German tradition to decorate the tree apparently.
