Merry Christmas to all.

Every year our tradition is to decorate the tree with my grandparents and parents old lights and decorations and ones my son made when he was young, and my son builds a village with a train running around it. Here it is this year.

Cheers

Sorry guys. It was a video and wouldn’t appear on my images to select, so presume the website doesn't support it.

It is fibre optic so was trying to show the colours changing.

Let’s try a screen shot.
