Decorative Christmas Branch

I don't know why but every year as Christmas approaches I feel compelled to go out looking for branches to bring home and decorate. So, despite the crazy heat this week, I wandered down to a nature strip near our house and found a branch that had fallen on the ground. Now that we have a lovely new pergola, this provided the perfect place to string up the branch and start decorating.

The kids helped me choose some Christmas decorations.

I like the way the branch hangs over our outdoor table and adds some extra colour and Christmas cheer.

The birds have also been interested in this new addition to the pergola.
