Christmas Wishes to you all (all 33 followers and likers, hehe!)

So Chrsitmas eve is upon us, my 5 year old has gone insane, as well as these festive goodies I have baked 50 mince pies, made and rolled stuffing balls and prepared the potatoes, carrots and parsnips for the big day. The presents are all under the tree, sacks (well pillow cases) have been dug out to place on the end of the kids beds and the chinese will be here at 7pm! Bliss!


Emmy has already got on her new festive pj's and Callum will be in his later tonight! That is one of our traditions, others include a visit to the panto, on Christmas eve we watch Muppets Christmas Carol, Father Christmas, Diney Christmas Sing-a-long songs and any other festivities we can find!




Do you have any family traditions you have passed on to your children or still do now?

Christmas time, mistletoe and......

mental illness, alcoholism, domestic violence, child abuse or even simply feeling like it's all a bit much?
Christmas maybe a time of joy and fun for lots of people, but for some it highlights the pain and suffering they maybe going through in life.
