Both girls are home now having successfully avoided the Christmas strikes so we decorated the house ready for Christmas Day.
And, again, due to forces beyond our control….. *** cough *** the dogs ……
… we are not having our full sized (5′), or what-my-mother-always-called, The Hong Kong spruce!
We have to settle for some smug hygge-style branches and a very much-smaller-than-I-actually-thought-when-I-bought-it wee tree.
Obviously, the branches had been saved from last year.
Other Christmas traditions, however, continue, such as Daisy doing an impossible jigsaw while sort of watching Muppet Treasure Island.
She knows all the words too. Yes, she does. It’s her talent.
All our decorations are special to us.
With a huge sheep theme. This is Lambie immortalised. There is Bert, Ster and Puzzah too.
Our first year with Mum’s beautiful decorations. They look lovely in front of her tapestry.
So that’s us. It is getting colder too though I am not sure if it will snow for Christmas.
I didn’t realise both your daughters lived away. Must be lovely having them both home for the holidays. Enjoy!!
Yup, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Just beautiful!
Your house looks beautiful, and filled with so many memories. How wonderful that the girls could both be home. wishing you all the most joyous Christmas!
So glad your daughters are home for Christmas! I look forward to the pictures of your Yule log cake!
It is interesting to note that Monster is never known to cause trouble with the tree or decorations!!
Merry Christmas to all of you!! I STILL miss your advent calendar, but realize the daily blog is enough work!!
I do like your decorations; beautiful. We’ve got as far as bringing in our tree from the garden a couple of days ago to get it acclimatised in a cool place. Tomorrow it will be brought into the sitting room to get its familiar decorations back. It’s lovely your daughters could get home for Christmas with you. Happy Chritmas to you and the family!
Love to hear that both your girls are home….and what lovely Christmas decorations….your house looks great! Merry Christmas to you all. God bless you.
