This weekend the all decorations will be up. My Christmas cake was baked weeks ago and is quite happily having its weekly feeds. The Christmas cards are all written and most of the presents have been bought and wrapped. And, at last, I think I can admit that its wonderful to have a break and sit down in front of a blazing fire, with a hot chocolate and happily watch the Afternoon Christmas Movie.
With the children growing up and moving away, things have changed over the years, but I still try to keep the Christmas traditions going. One of them being, the children decorate the tree, with a bit of help from Mum at the end...just in case.
To me, it seems at Christmas time nothing changes from year to year, and I find that so heart warming. For instance, these two images are about 100 years apart

One tradition I thought may be forgotten is the opening of the advent
calender. I actually thought Miss C wouldn't be bothered about
counting down the days to Christmas...how wrong I was. She is just as
excited as when she was six years old.
Once she had found it she was so excited she couldn't open it
She was so pleased and satisfied after she had eaten the little chocolate.
She made me smile too.
Love and Hugs
