Tick tock tick tock

The clock is ticking. Soon it will be December. We get to get even MORE excited in December as Christmas will soon be here and more importantly, the 20th draws closer.

We sent off our forrin Christmas cards today....with the exception of a few for good reason. The reason being that we will be able to deliver those cards in person! hahah! Fifteen years in waiting.

It is getting nice and chilly ready for the arrival of Ah Ee and Mamah. Well, they wanted to experience Christmas here...and experience it they shall.

For us, the excitement of Christmas always begins properly with the Nailsworth Goodwill evening. It is a really nice evening when all the streets in our "village" is transformed into a Christmas market. This year it was a little more magical as it was our first with Munchkin. He was a little star. We bundled him along in his pushchair all snuggled up in Little Miss Houston's buggy snuggle (Thanks Chief Oracle!). He "ooooo"'d and "Wow!"d at all the lights. He touched the snow (fake but the effec was there!) and waved to Santa and his reindeer - well he did call them deer but they must be related some how.

He shared some spiced port and red wine. He also had some stir fried noodles and vegetables. He danced to the music and was very, very patient when his mum decided that she had to try some clothes on. We got him home and put him to bed after a bath, some millk and a story.

And this morning, well, it was 0930 before he woke up....so a lovely time was had by all!
