All Decked Out

Christmas has well and truly arrived at our house.
We look forward to the advent calendars each morning.
I would like to move into the house illustrated on mine.


The pudding teapot and other Christmas china is out in the kitchen


as is my Christmas apron which was a gift last year from a far-away friend.



The tree is up decorated with a few new decorations


and a few 'new' vintage baubles.



Had to include this one of Melvyn as he looked so cute.



Another new decoration is this miniature glass tree a present from my sister T, after her recent trip to Venice to celebrate her 40th birthday.



Tonight G has gone to London to watch a metal/rock gig. The children are sat at the table writing out Christmas cards for school friends and once that's done we've got a tube of artifical snow to play with.
Later on when they are nicely tucked up in bed I'm going to sit quietly with a cuppa and read through this. Christmas is offiically on it's way once I buy the Radio Times. I'm getting even more excited!

    We buy the radio times too at Christmas. Never for the rest of the year just for Christmas! lol.

    I have just read my girls on of 'our' (mine really) favourite bedtime stories. So they are tucked up nice and warm. DH is out at his work do tonight. I have a glass of wine a chicken Korma and I think the film Bright Star to watch! Perfect!

  3. You are looking festive. We only got our tree today, so poor thing is still outdoors. That will be my job next week to wade through the boxes of saved ornaments to decide what to use this year.
