To all our Christmas Tree entries from across our community who created such wonderful eye-catching creations.

The attention to detail with handmade creatures we would find in our gardens, watering cans made to look like they were watering the foliage, a scarecrow sitting on top taking watch over this wonderful creation.2nd Little Lambs of Westmill Church with their ‘While Shepherds Watch their 'Little Lambs' by Night.’ As the children and adults gather weekly every Wednesday at St Mary the Virgin Church, one activity they had been working on was creating some beautiful sheep to make everyone just smile with joy.3rd Lil Foster and her 'Food Glorious Food' tree beautifully decorated with hand knitted foods from fruit & veg to burgers & cakes and so on.
