I'm loving this festive season so far. We're cramming as much tradition, preparation and celebrating in as possible. The Tree is up, resplendent in Golds and Cream. The Fireplace dripping with Evergreens and fairy lights. Miniature Christmas Trees and Reindeer cover almost every surface with more beautifully scented Spruce and Ivy. It officially looks like a Christmas Grotto. All the presents are made or bought and wrapped using what feels like miles of Twine. The Christmas Crackers are made. The Christmas Pudding, Cake and Mincemeat are maturing nicely. My Christmas patchwork blanket is keeping me warm in the evenings. The Turkey and Ham are on order. We've made our first Gingerbread House ever. We've visited every Christmas Decoration shop within 50 miles of here. We've drunk Hot Chocolate from our new Reindeer Mugs. I've made a rather glitzy Christmas jumper with too many jewels and sequins. We've been listening to Carols. It's been peaceful and slow, warm and cosy. I love a quiet evening in December with the glow of the warm lights watching a Christmas film. I just love December and there's still more to look forward too...

Oh class. I love it too!! Wish I had as many things made as you but I think it might be a few yrs before I make a christmas cake again and I'd love to make my own mincemeat.
Show us some photos please! It all sounds wonderful
