In fact so few that I thought I better start making a check list.
* Cards written and posted. CHECK
* Presents that need posting posted. CHECK
* All Santa's presents bought. CHECK
* Xmas Cake baked and marinated in lots of brandy. CHECK
* Trees erected and decorated. CHECK
* Snowflakes made and hung. CHECK
* Paper chains made and hung. CHECK
Still to do.
* Finish Santa's wrapping.
* Ice the Xmas Cake.
* Buy Xmas dinner bits and bobs.
* Buy Boxing day buffet bits and bobs for my pal and her wee son coming round.
Oh and some 'friends' say I have to make myself a Xmas jumper!! Hmmm not sure about that one.
Plus I'm sure there are other things that my brain is currently chosing to let me forget but will no doubt remind me in a last minute panic.
But I'm not going to panic I'm going to enjoy this Christmas with it just being me and my girls. Their Dad is working abroad until January and this year it is my brother's turn to have Mother for Xmas and New Year. :D
All a recipe for a relaxed, happy and stress free holidays me thinks.

Hello my dear! I think you are creating a most wonderful time with your family. I love your snowflakes and I am so glad you posted the paper chains. I used to love to make those in school.
Hugs,
