Got The Christmas Tree Up At Last!

[ffiondove_20]

Amazing how long it takes to put up a Christmas tree! I kid myself every year that I am going to get it done in an hour or so......but it always end up taking me the whole afternoon! Still have about 6 presents to buy which I plan to do on Sunday - then Monday I have a family lunch and cooking mince pies and sausage rolls in the afternoon/evening - I am hoping my Granddaughter Ffion will come over Saturday afternoon and give me a helping hand with the fudge, coconut cream, peppermint creams and rocky road, got the tins ready to put them all by for Christmas. I am aiming for having a relaxing Christmas Eve, hanging out in town with my husband browsing the shops and drinking coffee then off to the cinema to see the new Hobbit film then home to put the turkey in the oven to cook overnight............of course as my lovely friend Mare has already said this week "Best laid plans" etc..............

My tree was standing exactly where it is now but empty for 2 days - mostly because it was wet and I was worried about putting the lights on it, I am so relieved to have it done now! Still have the Nativity to do though.
Must be about your busiest couple of weeks at work at the moment LA - Please don't bother to ask you Pastor for an early finish for one day ;-) xx
