My Menopause Christmas tree

So here it is again - Christmas. A strange time of year when we all eat and drink too much, and do silly things under the mistletoe!

Now Christmas trees are not my favourite things. I appreciate they are grown for the purpose, but it still seems barbaric to cut down a tree because it’s Christmas and sit it in a pot in an overheated room, and watch in horror, as its needles drop off. We have an artificial tree. It’s a pretty one, a Norwegian spruce. It’s about ten years old and going strong.

But all this started me thinking about a perfect Christmas Tree - Yes! - a Menopause Christmas Tree! What would I choose? Where would it go? What would I put on it, and indeed under it – Well read on and find out. You might just chuckle at the same time.
