mum put the tree just under our stairs in front of the fridge, as there are no other space available to accommodate it, since we’ve got quite a limited space here compared to our old house.

mum + dad bought our tree last year, along with the blue + silver balls, blue christmas lights + other ornaments. mum said we need to add more ornaments to add a bit of color to it. what do you think?
