CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weekend I truly got into the Christmas spirit.

On Saturday I opened my TWO advent calendars (one picture and one CHOCOLATE - was a deprived child and never allowed one before), bought Christmas cards, decorations, planned mine and Wigan's mini Christmas Roast and decorated our tree. All to the the XMAS party classics CD.

And I had a lovely time. It was wonderful and I am truly in the Christmas mood.

Our Christmas tree is a little pathetic looking. Being only three foot tall. And really quite bald.

But we covered it in far too many baubles. And loads of other foil based decorations.

We even topped it off with an angel (homemade by Wigan and I out of our cheese grater with some tin foil wings stuck on the back).

After that I decided that we needed to give the windows a bit of a christmas look. So we made paper snowflakes (and may I just add, Wigan was truly appalling at this. she is being paid an obscene amount of money to look after a couple of kids, and all they do all day is crafts. and yet ask her to make you a paper snowflak..... well after frustrated grunts, angry jabs with scissors and severe snowflake envy, the Wigan admitted defeat)

We have also got very into the festive food. The Wiganer has set a new record for eating. She has managed to get through not one, but three boxes of mince pies.Since december started.

We have a fourth, but it has been hidden, and is only being adminstired under strict supervision.

She is blaming the Tesco buy one get one free offer.

I shall be keeping you all up to date with my festive antics over the next few days. As I'm sure you can tell, they will be extensive.
