I am used to decorating my home for Christmas well ahead of Christmas Day. Boxes come out of the special loft and I add something new to the collection every year. My nativity has some ‘Golu’ elements. Dolls come to adore baby Jesus.

One Christmas I was far from home, far from my cherished decorations; and not that much floor space. That’s when this wall Christmas tree was born to bring in the cheer. It signifies a new beginning for my family and me.
