Christmas is coming...

... the goose is getting fat.

In my 21st century household for 'goose' read 'turkey' and for 'getting fat' read 'is on order'.Hopefully it will also be fat because it needs to feed a lot of people.  Meanwhile, although I have to brave a large supermarket one day before 25th December and there is the small matter of icing a cake, making stuffing for said bird and peeling mountains of vegetables, from a standing start last Friday (home from work for the holidays and not so much as a card written) things are looking quite festive around here

The door is wreathed



The holly by the front gate has excelled itself


and the tree is dressed in its finest jewels


The nativity scene that I set out each year


Is being rearranged by the next generation


Yet please, don't think I am being too smug.  I didn't quite get around to making some Christmas bunting


And some knitted presents may just be completed early for next year


But that's OK, we have enough and should not forget to...

... please put a penny in the old man's hat


Happy Christmas everyone and may the world have a more peaceful New Year

xx
