The house is stuffed with too much junk - things to go into my new home (when I finally get a move in date!), things I should probably get rid of and parcels that probably contain more things I will need to find homes for!
But tonight, the presents are wrapped, the house is quiet and I was able to get away from work in time to have a quiet, candlelit meal with my youngest son...
...followed by a film together in front of the fire.
I'm not big on 'bling' really but I do love a bit of light and sparkle and there is just so much of it about at the moment to enjoy. I don't think I will ever tire of a Christmas tree and whether its the correct, environmentally friendly thing to do or not, for me it has to be the real thing...
After years of cats and children, who were guaranteed to wreck the tree and anything remotely fragile on it, now I have neither I have acquired some lovely glass decorations over the last few years. This one was given to me by a friend when I was first on my own and I really love it...
Even outside, as I arrived at work early one morning, the lights in the car park were making fairy lights of the raindrops...
I'm not good at winter; I hate being cold and I hate the short days but tonight it feels nice to be in the warm with the prospect of a day with my boys tomorrow, with food and laughter and a bit of anticipation in the unwrapping. Oh and maybe a little drop of something too.
Happy Christmas and very best wishes, hoping your day is lovely too. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteLovely photos, it looks like a cost Christmas at your house. I haven't bothered with any decorations or anything this year as I haven't felt like bothering this time! Hope you had a lovely day.
