3....2....1 you're back in the room

Back in front of the computer after the most relaxing Christmas we have ever undertaken.

 

I spent one entire day in my pyjamas (new ones of course). 

That's something I haven't done since student days.

 

We have seen all the family, but for short bursts only

I have watched an inordinate amount of rubbish on the TV

I have eaten well but not in large amounts

I have read books

I have done LOADS of crochet

AND

I have sung the song from the Lego movie too many times to count

 

All in all I have to say that it was a VERY good Christmas.

Now where did I leave my brain?

It's just not like me......

I'm feeling organised for Christmas and it is a confusing feeling.

 

I am a person that is found frantically wrapping presents at midnight on Christmas Eve....always.

 

But... I have all the presents (other than my husband's) wrapped and his will be done today.

Yesterday I finished the blanket that I have been crocheting for the last God knows how many months, so that is ready to be a Christmas present.  This is it in all its glory







I have never been in this position before.....  Do you know I may be able to enjoy Christmas Eve, with my feet up and a glass of mulled wine in hand and I'm not even sure how that happened.

I'm just glad that it has. 

Hope you all enjoy your Christmas x

Christmas arrives at our house

My daughter has instigated a tradition of inviting a friend to decorate the house at Christmas.

They get all the stuff out of the loft.

They place the decorations on the tree,

 in roughly the same place as they were last year (weirdly).

They place every single ornament we've ever bought on the hearth.

They trail tinsel all over and leave glitter on everything they touch.

And they chatter away while I keep out of the way.

When they're done they pack up

and I drive the friend back home.

 

But... they leave the mantelpiece.

That's all mine.
