The Christmas Book Tree

As my nephew and niece are coming for Christmas (with their parents, might I add), it is essential for us to have a Christmas tree, and Him Outdoors can't complain about it - hurrah! I stole this idea from a photo, and as I had piles of books lying about, it provided a festive solution to my tidying up problems.

Him Outdoors erected the structure with his engineering skills, while I supervised (by which I mean I drank wine and pointed at things). Yes, Weevil, finally I got the chance to be Queenie. He then wrapped the flashing LED lights around it and I took photographic evidence.

My wooden ornamental William Shakespeare is our book fairy/ tree angel (whichever you prefer), but he needed a Santa hat to fully look the part.
