Since I have been retired, I have had no idea of the date
and if someone asks me, all I can say with any conviction is that it is
December! I like to be without my watch because I don’t have to work to a
timetable anymore and being aware of the time is not that important now. Time
is still very precious to me though but it is mine now to do what I like with
it. So I hadn’t realised that it was Sunday yesterday and I can only apologise to
my regular visitors for not posting my blog as usual.
I admit to being feather-brained and this year is no
exception. I mentally logged Christmas Day to be on a Tuesday this year so it
came as a bit of a surprise to discover that I had an extra day to play with
before the ‘cooking of the turkey day’. We had the neighbours in for an open
house evening last night so Sunday became known as ‘Open house day’. Monday
became ‘pick up turkey and stilton day’ and Tuesday has now become ‘picking up
outstanding present day’! I should have looked at the advent calendar because
it was keeping the time quite well and now it is telling me that there is just 1
more day before Santa is due to arrive!
Advent calendar
The Robin is on the wall with the cards.
The angels are on the rafters
A Christmas quilt is on the pew.
The patchwork tree is laden in the hallway.
The fireplace is dressed.
The cracker quilt is on the settee.
And Willow has taken up residence on the back of the other
settee.
The kitchen table is covered.
And the windows are dressed.
I just love Christmas, it is not only for children; it is
for me too! It appeals to the child in me and I love the redness and greenness of
it all. A very happy Christmas to you all! Why don’t you send a greeting to my
blog, (click on ‘comments’) I would love to receive them.
