Last Linky Party Of The Year. This is the last linky party and Welcome To The Weekend blog hop of 2019.

School’s Out For Christmas. Also Work For 6 Days Too!! School finishes for my children today at lunch and it is now time for some fun family time, decorating the Christmas tree, baking and last minute shopping!! Indeed, I am so behind this year but we will all have a nice dining room to have our Christmas dinner in this year, so all will be good.

So I can not wait for this one; Gavin & Stacy.

Anyone else a Gavin & Stacy Fan?

Christmas Countdown. Christmas countdown is 4 days and 16 something hours when this post goes live!! I have so much to get done! How about you are you all ready for Christmas day?

What I Am Dreaming? Will Christmas 2019 be a white Christmas?

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow- Bing Crosby

Where To Visit In Nottingham This Christmas?

If you live in or around Nottingham I recommend The Nottingham Christmas Market. It is lots of fun but very busy so if your going in the day I suggest you get there nice and early. You can see my photos here: Nottingham Christmas Market: Creative Monday Link Up.

    That yule log looks so amazing! I have never made one but when we lived in France we would always get one. There are a few places here that sell them but they are quite pricey! We are also a little behind on our festivities here but we did finally go ride around yesterday to look at Christmas lights.
    Have a wonderful Christmas!

    Yes, Home Alone has been my favorite as of late years since I watched it every Christmas with my adolescent now, grandgirls.
    I also love a vintage movie 34th St. with Natalie Wood when she was a child.
    This is a fun party and I’m joining with a little Christmas tea table.
    Merry Christmas dear Claire and I hope you have a wonderful 2020.
    Hugs,
    Fabby

      Yes we all love Home Alone here too, Fabby. Such a classic 🙂
