I'm not going to lie, we've had our Christmas tree up for almost 2 weeks. I figured that since we're heading to Canada on the 14th that I could bring out Christmas one month before our departure. I love having Christmas things out but I don't particularly like the fact that we had to get an artificial tree. I miss the smell and feel of a real one.

And don't get me started on our new fake tree. It is definitely not 6 feet tall (as advertised) and the base is naked and uggggly (hence our decision to shove it in an antique crate).



I also managed to whip up this little wreath using £5 worth of cheapo Poundland baubles. It's definitely not as nice as Eddie Ross's but I'm pretty happy with it. I'm also rather pleased that I managed to get all of my Christmas cards written and posted. Pictures of our cards to come!



Football/soccer was cancelled on Sunday afternoon due to a water-logged pitch so Lee and I headed into town so that I could point out some ideas for Christmas presents. Unlike my husband, I am finished my shopping (insert smug grin here).

After pushing our way through the throngs of Welsh pensioners who had arrived by the bus load for the Worcester Christmas Fayre we decided to pop into our local pub for a few beers. We never go for drinks anymore really so it was a very relaxing way to spend a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. A Leffe blonde and the Sunday Times = bliss.



We also managed to finally order a Blurb book of our wedding pictures for Lee's mum and stepdad for Christmas. (There is 20% off all orders until tonight!). The book is a slightly abridged version of the one we made for ourselves (i.e. we deleted the 20+ pages of us and our drunken friends at the end of the night).

And finally, to cap of this rather random post, my favorite current British TV show is back for it's third (and final) season! Gavin & Stacey really does make my evening. Uncle Bryn is my favorite.
