My daughter has been very helpful and encouraging, which has definitely made a big difference and even my husband is trying - the other day he bought some mince pies for me (he doesn't eat them) and got the special mince pie plates out of the dresser.

I sometimes struggle to find much joy in the weeks before Christmas, but I find that lists and something to look forward to, like opening an Advent calendar, certainly help to spark joy. I read The Christmas Mystery a few years ago - it is a sweet story.

There was a time when we were really hard up and I couldn't justify the cost of an Advent calendar but I really missed it so I bought this one when it was vastly reduced in price, about halfway through Advent and resolved to keep it so that I always have one no matter how poor I am. I absolutely agree with you about vicars and teachers. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-17875473427958857152019-12-08T13:50:09.598+00:002019-12-08T13:50:09.598+00:00We do the same thing with our tree and wrap tinsel...We do the same thing with our tree and wrap tinsel around the base to hide the stand, although we don't put it up until the day of the winter solstice. Well done on completing your shopping, I'm gently working my way down my list. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-51492076595620960642019-12-06T17:12:34.845+00:002019-12-06T17:12:34.845+00:00What a lovely post..

I think people in positions of some form of authority ie a vicar/teacher etc should think very carefully about what they say to people and how it can affect them for many years to come. You enjoy being joyful and you go rock at it! sounds like you are getting the hang of it quickly, enjoy xeclectichomelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131534550143277161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-201916595736418385.post-55150131134210684792019-12-02T17:09:42.002+00:002019-12-02T17:09:42.002+00:00I love your Advent paraphernalia!

We put our tree up yesterday and I bought it a few new baubles. I don't have a tree skirt so I wrap several metres of silver tinsel around the feet to hide them. We've bought all our presents and now they just need wrapping. Best, Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114112351660401224noreply@blogger.com
