It's been such a warm and cosy Christmas here this year and I've loved every minute. Lots of family time, laughing and relaxing together.
Our boys have had some lovely gifts, plenty of books, a proper football, dinosaur games and an industrial amount of chocolate. I've been spoilt rotten too, Woody surprised me with tickets to see a favourite band at the end of January and I can't wait for that.
On Boxing Day morning we managed to pop out for our stroll along the canal and river bank while Grandma kept an eye on the Lego building marathons at home. It's becoming a little tradition of ours now to get a breath of fresh air and talk over the best bits of Christmas day with just the water and the birds for company.
But as ever these two pictures probably sum up the best bits. Meeting the big man himself and then gathering together to share and be merry. If you've been celebrating too I hope its been all you hoped for and that the love and warmth carries you through the year ahead. Xxx.

Thanks Sue, not sure on the advent calendar will have to check that out. And picasa seems to automatically do the twinkly business! Either that or it's magic!
All the best for the New Year x
A lovely round-up of your Christmas. It all looked very cosy.

Beautiful photos, so glad you had such a good Christmas.
Just found your blog and love your pictures! Lovely, cozy living. You have a new reader.
I love it that Grandpa wore a bow tie for Chirstmas dinner! I also think your knitted holly is super - will be trying that next year!
Thank you! It's a tradition for Dad to wear his bow tie. He worked in a foundry before retiring and always wore a tie underneath his overalls. Bit if a stickler like that. I always say it isn't Christmas unless Dad is wearing his bow tie! Thanks for your lovely comment x
