‘On the First day of Christmas my true love gave to me….’
Mince pie anyone? Mulled wine?
Did you watch any Christmas films yesterday? We did, ‘Our First Christmas’ a delightful family film which saw us all together on the sofa snug and warm getting in the festive spirit whilst admiring our Christmas tree twinkling in the window …. ‘It’s the most wonderful time of year’ sorry I keep breaking into song but it’s all so exciting don’t you agree?
EVERYONE will be talking about Christmas this month, there’s no getting away from it and many of us will be writing articles too so whatever you’re sharing on your blog come add the link to our Christmas Blog Hop and spread the message further!
Are you sharing a family recipe? Have you got some excellent gift ideas? Do you have some brilliant ideas of keeping the children occupied during the longest wait of the year? All will do please as we want to start getting into the Christmas spirit.

This is a wonderful idea for a blog hop. Can’t wait to read all the other posts.
I’m hoping I might get organised and have some things to add to this as the month goes on…!
Just discovered this blog hop idea through U! Thanx. Gonna give it a try! Keep up the good work. Oh! As a stocking filler we recommend http://www.edieoharadesigns.com/1/post/2012/10/chunky-knit-or-faux-fur-or.html
I like this linky! I think I may have a lot of reading ahead of me x
Children at this age are not very hard to please most of the time they just want to spend time with the best people in the world for them which is YOU their parent(s) so what I would say is things like the beach as you already have planned picnics, do they skate yet? do they know how to roller blade or ride bikes? if not why not start teaching them? and just reading to them or making up stories of their own is fun for them, they just want to be with you, so enjoy it because as they grow so will the their need to get away from us (parents) lol…I hope some of this helps..I have teens and they do not even want to walk with me because I am too old now it’s not cool…..lolGood Luck….Lady AngelReferences :
