we gather our own greens and usually have the outside decor up by Dec 1st. Traditional we hosted what we call a SWAG party on the first weekend in December and friends gather together and make Christmas swags/fill urns from greenery that I had gathered from the bush. The evening ends with a big sit down dinner, (About 18) lots of drinks food and comradery and it really kicked off the season but because of covid we have put it on hold for this year.This Christmas will be much quieter but we think we can see light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully when the tulips pop in May/June things will start to become a little closer to normal.
