we've decided to take the couch out of the lounge room and put the tree in that bay window - faces out onto our carport, so it won't be seen from the street, but it means DH and I can still sit in the same spots and not be crowded. the formal dining room is opposite where the tree will be - so that will kinda be Christmas central. the plan is to put the table in the bay window in there (cos we dont' use it) and put a village on the table (i think!) and then the couch will sit in front of that with all the soft teddies - if DD is mobile, she cant' get hurt there... each section of the lounge/dining/entry hall gets sort of themed each year - and i change it each time!
