When it came to putting up the tree a week ago, I stood looking at all 7 /12' of it and sighed a resigned, tired sigh. I knew I would be the one pulling most of the decorations off in just a few short weeks. It all just looked like more work to me.

This year we gave Lolly a sparkly glittery fairy with butterfly wings (I give her a new ornament each year, she has 6 now!) |

Now this time is really the last Christmas post! Have a lovely one, everyone xxoo
