It's beginning to look just a little bit like Christmas.......

 

 

 

 

All the pressies are bought and some wrapped.....
The cards got posted on time - yay!!!
A few more decs are going up every day......
Some Xmas baking has been done and goodies frozen in readiness....
And Apple and Almond Blondies made to keep us going........

 

 

A kind friend Jane (Happy Christmas and Thankyou Jane!) bought some Panettone to try - I had never tried Panettone and Jane had never tried Stollen so we shared both this week.......such a sweet tin too !(courtesy of John Lewis I believe)

 

The serving dishes are washed and the coffee tray laid out ready.....


 

 

just a little bit of tinsel and glitter....whoa there, not too much!


 

So it really is beginning to look quite a lot like Christmas......

 

And, best of all, my little helper almost grown up daughter finished school for the holidays today so it'll all be fun from now on.

We have
wrapping paper to print
presents to wrap
more decs to put up
sausage rolls and mince pies to bake
cranberry sauce to make and freeze
Nigella's Clementine Cake to make (from "How to Eat" - its lovely!)
more decs to put up
the real tree STILL to buy for the hall and decorate (at the weekend!)
and...more decs to put up....we leave things to the last minute here!


If I don't see you again before The Big Day........

I wish you and your loved ones Peace, and Joy and every Happiness for Christmas and the New Year.
