My first Christmas at DD

In the "Festive Desk" stakes, I'm the trendsetter. There are no "scrooge" bugs on me (nuh uh). The second (okay, day) it ticked over to December I had my decorations at my workstation up. My colleagues either think I'm a Christmas nut or just plain nuts...but hey, I don't care! I think it looks rather good, if I do say so myself.

One Year On...

And it came to pass on December 10th, 2007 that the Crook Family had been in Brisbane for a year. When we first moved in, the property looked completely different (overgrown, brown and dead) to how it does now (green, lush and far less bushy). Here are some photos...one year on.

December 1, 2007

Well it's that time of year again. Time to drag out the Christmas tree, baubles, tinsel and enumeral Christmas music CD's! It's Christmas time and it just so happens it's my favourite time of year! The people at work say I'm crazy...I say "Bah Humbug!" Not really. December 1 in the Crook household is the traditional decorating of the tree and the day to get the stockings out and up. Here are some pics of our efforts.
