The Christmas Story

The story for us, not the original! There were no virgin births here, although I haven't checked the shed...

We had a really nice, peaceful Christmas, although I think Mae missed her cousins a bit- she is looking forward to a trip to Edinburgh that we may make at the end of the week. We had a great time though, with Lilian and Ross, thanks for coming! As usual, Lilian was helpful in the kitchen (and I only burned my eyeballs when I sent everyone out for a walk) and Ross entertained Mae with her Lego and even Just Dance on the Wii!




Mae asked for dolls from Santa this year (yes dolls!) and LOVES them! How crazy is that? But she was also pretty excited about her Justin Bieber pyjamas!

And making sure were not too age appropriate in the house, she got a couple of Sing-a-ma-jigs, which are the cutest things ever. Me and Lilian also liked them (see below!)

I got some posh slippers, no seeds in them yet from feeding the birds.....

It was grand. I hope everyone else had a great time and spent it in their pyjamas.

We're all a bit sick but getting better- how did my mom do it for so many years? Christmas, a time of peace, but only when I am alone in the kitchen, preparing roast potatoes. No, I am really looking forward to it, and thank god for Buckely's that's all I can say!!
Mae says it doesn't feel like Christmas at all, and by the looks of my outdoor lights they will be fully under water by New Years! Hopefully we will get the snow that is passing through Nova Scotia at the minute.












How sad having to even tart up the house plans- but next year I promise I will have a mantel!
