It's the most wonderful time of the year..

Yes that's what it is.. And what a busy month it is already and we have only just started.

It's December 3rd and the tree is up. We spent last weekend decorating it whilst drinking hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.. 

It was great fun and much easier this year as we managed to pack away in an organised way. Each branch on this tree is colour coded so putting an elastic band around each group of colours gave us a super head start this year!

Tuesday December 1st we sorted out the Christmas movies and put them in the cupboard downstairs so they are easy to reach and are ready to be enjoyed.

Our top two family favourites are most definitely The Grinch and the Muppets Christmas Carol.

We also purchased a couple of new Christmas decorations.. Both the deer and the stocking decorations were from Tesco and the 'Tis the season' hanging decoration was from Home Bargains although I cannot remember the prices of any sadly.

Upcoming events

There are lots of Christmas events coming up, Meals, Parties, Pantomimes, concerts. Tomorrow night is our local towns Christmas light switch on and late night shopping. The girls have been chosen to join the lantern parade along with the other local Children from other Schools nearby.

Much left to do?

We are very much more organised than last year but still have a few gifts left to buy and all the good..Not forgetting the turkey!!!

Until next time..
