Once the big move was over, I got stuck into decorating for Christmas...
We were holding Christmas at home this year and a lot of Kristian´s family were coming to hold Christmas with us. We were so looking forward to it. Nearer the big day, we went and got our Christmas Tree from the cosiest Christmas market.
We had such a cosy time together getting the tree.
In school, I had the chance to dress up and spread a little Christmas cheer together with another colleague. We had some fun at the morning assembly while delivering a Christmas tree to the school for the kids to decorate.
To get in the Christmas mood I went to a Christmas concert that my friend's gospel choir was holding. It was such a good concert and it was good to take an hour or two out of all the preparations to focus on the real reason for Christmas.
We would be 24 people together for Christmas dinner on the 24th of December. We decided it would be good to eat the meal over in our annexe and then come over to the main house to open the presents and dance around the Christmas tree. So a week or so before Christmas we started the preparations in the annexe, I had to borrow chairs and tables from work and I bought loads of fairy lights to pin all over the ceiling. I was having so much fun getting everything ready. I got Kristian involved in the fun too - I bought some stupid masks for us to wear while decorating haha
We had such a lovely Christmas Eve together with Krisitan´s family. One family arrived at 1pm for lunch. We then headed to church together. When we arrived home at 3pm the rest of the family arrived. We all helped each other get things ready for the evening meal. Some of the young people played games and made sweets from marzipan and nougat. It was all just so cosy. We had a wonderful evening together.
