Tree with a difference

 


This morning my Brother in law delivered some sprouts. He knows I love them, but hubby hates them. 

So we had some fun and decorated them for a laugh. We sent photos to the family who thought it could be the start of a new tradition in the Stark family!
There may be a competition next year, you never know.

I do think they cheer up the kitchen, so they will stay there till I have finally eaten them all.

Have a wonderful Christmas and take care.
