I stopped making a Christmas cake and puddings, both of which I hate, a couple of years ago and now instead by Himself a really nice expensive, smaller, one of each. We don't really 'do' Christmas in our house any more, fresh greenery from the garden, lots of extra twinkly lights around the house and garden, and this year, a handmade wreath for the inner front door - a rather unfestive one in many ways, courtesy of Lucy on her Attic 24 blog. We treat ourselves, and have a drive round the villages to look at all the decorated houses and so on, but that's it.

We will start exchanging the everyday teapots and teacups with our set of holly dishes - just a little beginning - but a fun time. We'll slowly decorate until the day after Thanksgiving - and then the tree and the outdoor decorations and wreaths and candy canes - and fun. <br /><br />We celebrate and decorate and enjoy - and then the day after christmas it all comes down and a big housecleaning takes place - so the house will be in perfect order and shiny clean for the new year. It's a most glorious time of the year.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-25572236849303511962013-11-17T11:41:53.569-08:002013-11-17T11:41:53.569-08:00Street decorations have been going up for a couple...Street decorations have been going up for a couple of weeks in our little town.
