Re: Christmas is just around the corner
Mornin' Blue...I just found out yesterday that the kids have put up their Christmas tree at the farm. They have also put up gates all around it, to keep the nosy doggies away from it.
On the 2nd, of December they are hosting "A Secret Santa"...for family and friends, which has become a tradition over the years...

Re: Christmas is just around the corner
Made our Christmas puddings yesterday, that's a sure fire indication Christmas is coming, cake waiting to be decorated too, but that gets done much later on.Started writing cards too, done all the ones for work and school, just the neighbours and then the hand made family ones to get to and I think we have Sunday afternoon marked out for doing them.
I've had a knitting problem seem to have misread the pattern so have to unpick about ten inches of the back of Nathans Christmas present jumper. I won't tell you what I said when I noticed that *********

I don't mind putting it all up, but I hate packing it away when it is all over.
