Merry Christmas to all of you.

I hope that your Christmas is full of joy, love, creativity and laughter.

The chicks and I are off to a good start with the creation of our first ever gingerbread house (from a gluten free kit that my mother found for them). It may not be stylish, but it was made with love and fun and laughter by the two girls and I. We have wrapped presents (and quickly exchanged one that I had bought in error – phew!) and are preparing for some good friends to join us for the evening. We will eat desserts (all of which have potential to be stunning, but all of which have potential to flop due my errors along the way). We will read the Nativity story, we will listen to carols, and we will enjoy the company of people we love as we remember why we are celebrating.

While we proceed towards a sugar-filled/fuelled evening (which may include a glass of wine or two for the adults) I want to thank you all for your lovely encouragement and support on this blogging journey so far, and to wish you a safe, happy and joyful holiday season!
