Merry Christmas!

Yesterday I have been running last minute errands in town, and as the mild temperatures continue (DS insisted on wearing a t-shirt) everyone was having their lunch outside in the sun

I have never seen so much foliage still around this time of the year

But with only one little parcel left on DS's advent calender,

and all other preparations finished, Christmas is finally here

earlier this month, the 'delivery boy' brought a wreath

which has been suspended from the kitchen ceiling

while our tree has been patiently waiting outside (we brought it in last night)

all cookies are baked

and decorated

some presents are wrapped

while others look their best without

and with the champagne chilled and the outside lights fixed, we are ready for Christmas.

Wishing everyone happy and festive holidays, and a very merry Christmas! x
