First December

First December

So today is the 1st official day of SummerThe first day of the Festive season andthe day my Mum died, 12 years ago.




I think that our culture doesn't have enough festivals. I like Christmas. I like creating memories and fun times and a bit of magic for my kids. My Mum did that for us. She loved CHristmas.

New stuff I've found recently.


I don't like to 'kick Christmas off' until this day though.(and I pack it away December 26th without fail!)





(more new stuff - especially love the packaging..)

Mince pies with mint-choc-chip ice cream and cream. Coz why not.I will not bombard my blog with Christmas though. We keep it pretty simple. Decos we like, outings and fun times. And wrapping up the school year.. all keeps us busy!Happy Days!Thank you to Bakers' Delight for the mince pies (SO GOOD!!!) and the christmas cake.
