5th December: Some Newcomers among the Stalwarts!

1: I feel certain this won't be the last time Pig In Blanket sneaks onto here. He was bought last year and quickly formed his own tradition: being hidden around the house! If you find him, it's your turn to hide him next time. 

2: Colouring in... this one was one I (Judith) started a couple of years ago - it took a long time to complete as I only finished it this year! I colour in while Mum is reading Children of Green Knowe because it stops me being distracted.

3: Creepy Santa. Another recent purchase which we wouldn't be without! Mum bought a set of Christmas postcards online last year. There is something lost in translation with this one though, which makes it sound quite sinister!

4: A Christmas Cross-stitch by Ginny. This was one of her first forays into cross-stitch and she did an incredible job. I love the shiny texture on the angel!

5: Oranges! Obviously, you can get oranges any time of year, but there is definitely something special about them at Christmas!
