I'm sad to read you took off your Christmas decorations, but why so fast? Our Christmas habits are a bit different here. I always have a real pine tree, so we decorate the tree on the 24th of December and take it off after 10th or 15th of January, depending on how the tree resist.
And yes, these markets are so expensive, I suppose that's the case everywhere in the world.
Happy New Year yo you too dear Lizelle and all the best!💚
