Morning Ladies,

A great display of Christmas lights is in Lakeside,Lilydale but not sure if they(as in resisdents) are doing anything this year...A few houses near me do a wonderful display too.When OH passed away I gave all our decorations to the girls..we used to go full on..lol

Well I am officially ready for Christmas...............well except for the food.

I even remebered to buy batteries for the grandchildren...........(which I usually forget)

Hubby has a cold...............it is his first one for the year..........which is amazing............normally if a germ rides past our house on a bus he catches it...............hopefully it is only a short/small one.....(is there even such a thing?)

Morning everyone.

Your house always looks fantastic at Christmas Flashie.  I haven't got the tree out yet and thought I would wait until 12 days before Christmas and take it down 12 days after.  Now I think perhaps I should get started as it might put me more in the Christmas mood.

If only I could get started on the Christmas shopping!

Good morning Stringsters

Post and run today as I have to attend a big meeting on the other side of town and given Sydney's traffic jams, I probably should have left already.

Have a great day everyone.

morning all

I don't have my tree up yet either, hopefully later this week

Hi everyone.  Another day of shopping and now I am feeling so much better about Christmas.  I've got most of my prezzies just in two days and now it is just odds and ends to complete the package.

I really might get on to that tree now because I am feeling more 'festive' 😄

I spoke to my mother in law about what she wants for Christmas and she really insists that she wants nothing and her presents this year will be money towards wheel chairs for stroke victims or a goat so I might do a Kiva loan for her and just a little box of choccies or something.  I'll have to check Kiva out and see if they do little gift acknowledgements that you can print for people.  

I hope you are all getting into the spirit too!  Not you Flashie, goes without saying 😄

I still have to learn how to do that.  I leave everything until the last few weeks.

Tonight I did a bit of sewing.  My dads wife Maggie made me a quilted Christmas wall hanging with a few baubles on it years ago and said I could add some more if I wanted to.  It's really a bit different and I hang it up every year.

I did that tonight.  I've collected the champagne glass hangings that my niece hands out each year.  They make the perfect tree decorations for it.  I'll chuck a photo on the today challenge.

Good morning Stringsters, Running very late and no time to read but hopefully I can do that tonight. Have a good day everyone
