Despite a house full of pre Christmas illness and antibiotics, kind acts of friendship help me keep a hold of the festive spirit.

Another christmas themed post, I have a feeling my blog will have several more before the month is over!

I apply the motto 'less is more' to many things in life, but definately not to baubles on the Christmas tree!

Tree decorating tomorrow, I would hold out for another week but our 4 year old has other ideas!  Have a good weekend.

There is a history to this little angel, my Mum had her as a decoration when she was little, we used to have her on our tree when I was younger and now she takes pride of place on my eldest daughter's tree in her bedroom.  She only has one wing and the sparkle wore off her halo a long time ago, but we love her and couldn't leave her in her box at this time of year.

It's that time of year again where tinsel is always being used for something around the house and the girls seem to permenantly have specks of glitter on their faces!
